Hi guys.. just registered :rant:. I have just purchased a R34 GT-T (Not my first skyline i had a non turbo r33 95 skyline) My question is in regards to the boost setting for the standard neo turbo just for street use. The mods on the vehicle atm are minor just cat back 3 inch exhaust, bov, and airpod. I need to know what boost is recommended and what boost not to exceed etc. I also want to put a front mount intercooler on and possibly get the turbo highflowed does anyone know of any good reliable shops in the brisbane area that can do these mods. Thx for your time guys.. no doubt ill have heaps more questions as i learn more about the RB25DET.

the compressor wheel is plastic or ceramic (unsure) and will get angry over probably 12psi. Try it at say 11psi and see how it goes. The stock ecu will have boost cut limits etc but it wont prevent ceramic compressor wheel failure due to heat from the excess boost. You should get good response from 12psi, pod filter, exhaust and intercooler easily 200rwkw i'd say

Thx for your help.. The turbo engine is a completely new world for me. Im not even familiar with the boost controller atm. Going from the non turbo 33 to the GT-T is awsome .. such a massive difference in power. Im aiming for a 250 rwkw after the highflow and intercooler. The last thing i want to do is blow something cause ive upd the boost to much. Thx again

Turbowns,

Firstly, congrats on an awesome step up, R34's rock!

Boost, many claim that all it can handle is about 12psi, I have been running 14odd for over a year no probs, however std boost on mine is about 11. Be careful because the turbo is ceramic/nylon. Make sure you get FMIC before playing with boost too much (and turbo back exhaust) or you will seriously risk f%&king your turbo.

Can't comment on hi-flowing turbo as I have heard conflicting stories.

As you mod the R34 more the first thing that will annoy you is boost/fuel cut, a safety measure to prevent overboosting/detonation. Regardless of mods the only way you will get the car above about 200rwkw's is by changing or piggybacking the ECU (ie Emanage/PowerFC etc). I believe to get to 250rwkw you will also need turbo back exhaust, FMIC, ECU mod, fuel pump and injectors if not more.

I have heard good things about 101 motorcafe, particularly for ECU work. Give them a call and they should be able to guide you through the whole process, alternatively on the GC try Autech (Gavin Wood) in labrador.

Cheers

What year/month is your 34?? If it is a late 2001 (Series 2) onwards you may find that the turbo is metal/metal.

There is a detailed thread on this site about the differences between r33-r34. Here it lists a guide on how to find exact details of your car.

Hope this helps.

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
