Just got my car on the road and finally fixed boosting issues. I have a old style garret a/r 70 top mount. And im just wondering is 18psi in high engine load bad or damaging to stock intervals?

Obiously i took of the air filter to take this photo

Slghtly longer answer, it can be fine, but there is soooooo many things you need to consider other than "18psi" as "18psi" really isn't so much a setting, as it is a byproduct of the rest of the setup which is comprised of extremely critical things, all of which can change the answer between "OK" and "Very not OK"

Realistically, no matter what, no matter what setup you burn the candle faster with more power than you do with less power.

Hi Boost does not always make hi power unless you like melting things

Lots of people make lots of power with 15psi and you will still get the big pisssssh sound when you lift off the thunder stick

No, I ran 1.65bar through the motor for 1.5 years before it exploded with a Hypergear ATR43SS2 turbo - and this is with track use.

I suspect if it was for street use for going to Maccas carparks, car washes, etc. it would still be alive.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
