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

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
