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.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Automatic Power Button Light Flashing

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
