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

Ok what is FMIC?

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.

    • HyperGear. Just get a high flow of the stocker. Good, reliable, and should bolt on. Yes it will want things like a retune once done, so you need to factor this in to your spend too.
    • Hi. Iam looking for some "cheaper" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO. I do not want "big" power just better reliability than the stock turbo which is "fot now" good but is old and i do not think it has "easy" life. One the Skyline here running some "temu" china Turbo but i dont trust those... Thanks!

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
