Recommended Boost

HI i am new into the whole small liter turbo cars.  I recently bought a 1992 R32 GTR and I am currently running at the stock .5kg boost. I recently met some random guy at a show and he was telling me not to go over that and how he blew his up doing a brakestand.  (I was bouncing off the rev limiter at 1.09kg doing a breakstand just before).  Just to be safe I thought id ask what your opinions are. What boost should i run at?

Stock boost is 0.7bar for your car, slightly above what you've quoted. The most you should be running on your stock setup is 1bar or around 14psi, which is pretty much what you're topping out at now. 

In reality, no one can answer what your recommended boost is as each car is different. How well maintained is it? Do you flog it every chance you get? How many kms? There are so many variables. 

Play it safe, go 0.7 bar or around 10psi. Or go hard and play with fire by going to 1bar. It's really up to you. I would get go past that though. 

 

EDIT: I replied before your second post came up...

It is very clean but alot of smoke on the decel. 165000kms on the clock and the rear crabbs everytime i take a turn at low speed. I have to take out the rear and see if its a spool or the rear is just messed up.  I just set the boost to .7 and the base duty to 32 (honestly idk what base duty is).  Thanks for the help guys.

N1 turbos will run around 20 psi safely. If your car has 427 whp , then the turbos will be running at around that boost level. Dont believe everything random guys at shows tell you. If your car had stock turbos 14 psi would have been the safe limit. As above what is a brakestand? lol

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?

      Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov

      yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
