Tyre Pressure

Just a quick question.

What pressure do you guys have your tyres pumped to?

I recently had a flat (never found out why it went flat btw - the guy said he couldnt find anything wrong with the tyre after significant testing) and afterwards the person who mounted it back on said to fill them all up to around 36 psi. However I checked on the side of the wheel and saw a max of 35. In the end I just filled them to 32. Interestingly most of my tyres were in the mid 20s prior to me checking.

Any suggestions?

Cheers!

I have just recently pumped mine to 38psi - they were kina flat and it was the first time I had to pump em up. Ride previous @ around 28psi was alot smoother but I have found that at higher psi it has better handeling (can really feel all the bumps) but thats also because of the Tien HA set-up.

I have also been told...

My last car I fitted Perelli P7000's (215 x 40 x 17) I had them pumpede to 45psi because they had a MAX of 50psi anyway these tyres only lasted 15000km's B4 they were well and truely stuffed, when I went to the place that sold em to me they said I should have only pumped them around 30 - 35psi to increase life of tyres - sacrifice performance? how much I'm not sure.

Depends on the tyre. I'm running Bridgestone GIIIs, and they are recommended to run 36psi in them.

As a rule of thumb, running around 2psi higher in the fronts (of a 2WD car) will reduce the tendency to understeer.

I have Yokohoma AVS 235 45 17s front and 255 40 17's rear - tyre shop advised 36psi at front and 38psi at rear. Went to the track last week and highest pressure was 45psi . The guy in charge said a tyre should not vary more than 4psi between cold & hot temp, hence the high track psi.

They are stock Nankangs.  

Bloody shithouse too if you ask me!

Holy shit dude...

Get some new tyres, I had NAKA... fu*k it on my FWD Celica and I would have to say the factory stock were 100 x better than the cheap NAKA... fu*k it sport rubber I put on. You get what you pay for... 90% of the time!

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
