Hey guys,

Sorry if this has been posted before.. i've tried multiple searches but cant find anything..

Just wanted to know whats stock boost for an r32 gtst?

I currently have a slightly modded r32 gtst and would like to know what stock boost is, and also how much the turbo could handle, on a cold night, without turbine failure.. i.e. safely.

Mods include - 3" exhaust (need to check up whether its a turbo back or cat back), pod filter and EBC.

Its currently running .8 bar boost which is about.. 11 - 12 PSI..

Dont run anymore boost unless your going to fit a frount mount. The standard side mount cooler suffers from heat soak and also 11 - 12 PSI is pretty much the limit for a stock turbo i would say say 13 - 14PSI max using the stock turbo and a front mount. Im sure some of the lads here can offer a more detailed answer and more advice.

don't lie... you didn't do a search

stock boost for r32 gtsts is 10psi, like everyone above said you should see it spike abit more with aftermarket parts eg, exhaust, airfilter etc etc

mines currently running 13~14 with stock cooler, looking to upgrade to bigger one soon.

I see this topic and its funny to read everyone's posts about stock boost. My stock boost gauge reads about 6 psi and my after market reads around 8psi, yet when i boot it on the guage at the mechanics it shows around 10psi. Most people will say its 10psi although as stated its not good to run it too high for long periods of time with the stock cooler and turbo but then again there are guys out there running in excess of 12-14psi with stock turbo. Just my 2cents

don't lie... you didn't do a search

Uhh.. i actually did.. but didnt find anything that applied to me directly.. other people had front mounts etc..

So what about on a cold night? Wouldnt that be like having a front mount already since the air surrounding me is already cold?

To a degree yes but then the biggest problem you have with the difference in ambient temp is the way that you have your car tuned for normal day to day driving. One of my mates has a stock R32 that runs like a dream on a colder night and his older brother who's car is slightly moded runs worst on a cold night. When it comes to stock boost and stock turbo i would stay at 10 mayb 12 psi but not for long periods of time and not for daily driving.

    • If I had "perfect R33 GTR" kinda money I would have bought one of the crazy expensive low mileage HJA cars, but I am sadly not that wealthy. I already picked this car out of various Skylines for sale locally, most of which were worse in some way. Only a few cars were actually better but also more expensive. In terms of buying a motor locally, I at least have the option to inspect it myself and juding the seller as a person, and used or freshly rebuilt engines that some people sell are actually ok price-wise. I knew the car was going to require work, but shit piled up real fast and I haven't even driven 1000km yet as the turbo started oiling like a bitch within a few weeks after I got the car.   I assume it wasn't actually me who cracked it, though there is no way to know when that crack formed and if the previous owner even knew it was there. Buying another 05U Block can be a gamble, yeah, but the cheapest PRP cast block is like twice or more money-wise, and billet is 3 or 3 times as much. For now I am most likely just keeping the current engine, as a rebuild or engine swap isn't happening right now. But I am seriously considering buying a second engine and selling mine in return. Might be a sweet deal at the end.
    • Hi all. I need some help buying the correct size banjo bolts for my 2860 turbos. Because whoever installed them tore up the original part, I ordered new ones of this kind, because I just figured these were the most leak-resistant option as I already had trouble with a shitty braided line. I need to know the thread size of the smaller left hole, that is the turbo oil feed connection. I found out so far that the turbo oil inlet apparently has a 7/16"-24 thread, but I cannot find any listing or description of the thread size on this line. I do not have the original bolts. I tried using the bolts that were in the turbos (the ones that were mounted with the shitty braided line) but they sit very loosely so they can't be the right thread. Means either these bolts are the wrong ones (how do they fit the turbo then? no clue) or the wraparound-lines have a different thread than the turbo oil feed itself. Help is appreciated, asking Nissan directly is obviously not going to work.
    • EDIT: PSA to whoever stumbles upon this thread. It is in fact a crack in the block that caused this concern. Just letting you know. In my case, a few cm long hairline crack going horizontally above the turbo oil feed. Classic RB shit I guess
    • Might as well pop in some cams, head gasket, head studs, and a flex sensor. Full send.
