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.

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
