do the same thing for approx 4-5 laps and then come back and say its working the same  :rofl:

And abo bob, isnt your turbo blown at the moment?

don't quite get your drift. :confused:

I said 12psi fine for the street. My boost spiked due to bad installation of AVC-R and this was on the track.

Yes my turbo is busted.

7 psi - 8 psi = stock boost.

I'm running .8/.9 bar on street, it's fine really.

It all depends on your luck guys, but to be safe MAX BOOST for our stock turbo is .8 bar which is 12 psi and I agree with Abo Bob :rofl:

Abo Bob should share his technique to get 13.8 with such a low mph :) Will you?

if someone gives it a bit of stick on the street @ 12psi for a few mins... there will be sadness. Say your doing a mountain run or something.

short fast bursts is ok...

I don't believe a standard GTT can run 14.1 secs, that comes from my experience.

I run 14.8 with exhaust and filter , with an addition of 9/10 psi boost and safc2 I can run 13.9 so yeah.

 

I don't want to start anything :rofl: Peace

im sure it can run better than basically a 15

itll be driver.

and extra 2psi, and a fiddle with an saf-c will not gain you a whole second on the 1.4

sorry to revive an old thread, but im looking to buy a R34, and a mate has a 99 wrx and he has been running 14 PSI on a stock turbo for a year now, yet i read R34 turbos blow up at 10 psi??

why is that?? also if you put a bigger turbo do you have to change anything else?? I want to run atleast 14 psi, so i can atleast match his wrx lol

wow this thread has been revived from like 3years ago, just thought id add in i ran 1 bar in my old rb20, full exaust, ca18det side mount (rb20 in a 180) and i didnt treat it very nice somtimes and it held up, so i think its just luck, but yeh if you dont want to test your luck then stay below 10psi

Simple = WRX turbos are not ceramic. :down:

Wanting to "run" 14psi is a silly thing mate, shows you need to learn a little bit more.

Different turbos flow more than others at a given psi. Wanting a turbo change "just" to run 14psi, silly.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
