the main reason those who do it here and don't care is because they change their turbos as often as they fill up with gas and 99% of the year it's parked in a garage in pieces.

I can't be bothered quoting anyone, but those who think it will or it won't instantly explode are just being retarded, Nissan wouldn't have planned the turbo to be a serviceable part so the recirc is there for the LONGEVITY of the turbo, and as GTSBoy said there are minor benefits to recovery spool time, likely negligible in 99% of circumstances. Given these are 20-30 years old now, stressing it this way *may* lead to it failing on you, so avoid the risk cause dose is f**king lame, or do it and enjoy the excuse to upgrade when/if it does.

There no telling how long mine was doing it before I bought it. Felt fine to me before I got rid of it but the guy I had look at the car was really persuasive about it being an issue. I miss the sound so I'll probably go ahead and block the pipe off again. There was a coke cap in there, I'll just shove it back in and send it. 

Here's hoping one day our cars are like the R30s or even 240Z, just sexual.

Thus I'm planning to clean up the R33 this year. Cut out all the rust, weld on very subtle flares to fix up my baseball bat rolled guards then open door respray the piece of shit.

Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook has really driven up the price of the once VN priced R33.

    • Yeah nice idea, you mean to suction it to the gauges? I hadn't thought of that.
    • A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

    • I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.
