I had a stock R32 that made 115rwkw, stock everything.

125rwkw with fuel leaned out a little on 95RON fuel.

This was done with a bleeder on the FPR.

95RON fuel wouldn't allow any more than the base 15degree's ignition timing.

The exhaust went on, power went to 140rwkw with no fuel fiddling, only ignition timing & 98RON fuel.

12.5psi gave me 152rwkw with a bit of ignition timing & fuel bleed with 98RON fuel.

But i've seen a couple of guys running that sort of boost level through stock RB20 - No Intercooler/Dumpipe and their turbo hasn't died yet!

Jun

Hey, i would be a fine example of that...

same mods as above 3 inch cat back exhaust, air filter.

lately these cold nights i've been getting constant 15psi runs and during the day about 13~14psi

Still have the same stock from cooler in the left hand side, no boost controller..yet

running fine

how do u run more boost like 14-15psi with out a boost controller HCR32?

mate im asking my self that same question

i know r32gtst run stock 9~10 psi, with after market exhaust and air filter you can expect it to jump up to a higher psi reading like 12ish

but as i said above, cool nights, keeping an eye on the boost gauge its hitting 14~15psi and holding strong.

Some people might not call a bleedvalve a boost controller... could be one reason :D

Either that or you could do a bodgy mod like this.. :)

Grab a big arsed Yellow screw driver and ring spanner.

Loosen off the actuator bolts jimmy the actuator away from the turbo and tighten up the bolts. Be carefull with the right foot as just a little too much adjustment will easily see 18+psi. :)

With this setup I didn't need any form of bleeder or boost controller.

It also held any boost level to redline and beyond. Bleeders would tend to drop back to 12.5psi over 5500rpm. EBC's held boost, this free mod does what an ebc does. :D

so if i create a GAP between my actuator n turbo? how much boost will i be running?

I mentioned it in my previous post..

No one knows how much boost you will be running.

You have to try and becareful.

If you don't feel confident playing then don't do it. You WILL blow something up if you are not carefull.

hahaha

So a standard rb20 turbo can run 15psi ok(occasionally of course)? When does the power start to drop off at, 6,000rpm similar to s13s?

Whats the redline on an rb20 btw...

Also what kinda 1/4 times wud u be getting with 15psi + fmic + full zorst (im guessin 150rwkw and flat 14s)??

R32s seem to be a backwards step in power from my old 180 but they look better... hehe

6000rpm power would seem to drop off because of cams. I have found keep going to about 6250-6500 just to keep it in the power a bit more on the gearchange, but thats with my car.

Id hope with those mods tho you would be getting more power than me... I have stock cooler, and 12psi, and got 145rwkw on a hotish day, at what would seem a pretty spot on dyno. I've also run a 14.156 in a car that is about 150kgs heavier.

So you make 145rwkw on 12psi with a full zorst? Im guessin the 14.1 is in the 32?

Im buyin an r32 and tryin to know what to expect :D

Nah, sorry, no dump pipe yet. Just stock dump, rest is prety much 3inch straigh bit of pipe, I think one 30* or so bend after the front pipe.

And no, time is made in a cefiro, with pretty stiff suspension.

Jazz.

I always rev'd my RB20DET to a shade over 7000rpm. BUT with stockish boost it feels as if you want to change around 6500rpm.

More boost helps extend the top end for some reason.

I posted earlier in this thread, Full exhaust & 12.5psi it made 152rwkw.

1bar made 164rwkw at 7000rpm.

I then pushed it to 1.1bar and used to run 0-100km/h in ~5.2secs and 175km/h in the 13's. So I'd say it would have been in the high 13's.

R32's weigh in at just over 1300kg's.

R33's weigh ~1400kg's.

Is the actual redline 7k or 7.5k on the tacho? People seem to say RBs (and CA's) can rev better than Sr20s... yet an sr20 redline is 7.5k, is the RB the same? Obviously i know these engines are simply happier at those higher rpms too :D

Cef... Weight 1330kg

R32.... Weight 1290kg

But then, mines got the skyline brakes, bit of stezza gear, all my cds (about 400 odd in the car all adds up :D) bigger fuel tank, few other upgrades/extras abs etc, and I had the air compressor etc in there for after races.

So yeah, do the sums.

The solid redline is at 7500rpm. It begins to show a warning redline at 7000rpm.

The tachno means crap but.. :D

Fit a big turbo and rev the sucker to 8000rpm. :D

I've driven a S15 making around 170rwkw, fmic exhaust & ebc.

That definitely didn't want to rev anything like the rb20.

The Sr20 felt as if it was begging you to change at 6000rpm. The RB20DET keeps saying.. just a little more just a little more. :)

For traffic lights I much prefer the sr20. For the twisties and hills the RB20DET is much more fun and usefull with its revability and wider power band.

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
