So....with a FMIC ill only be looking at a difference of 12P.S.I as opposed to 10P.S.I....cause if im correct a standard turbo cant be boosted more than 12p.s.i safely regardless? Is there a noticable difference in power i.e on dyno run? or is it really not worth the cost if im leaving my turbo standard??

Was that 20KW gain running a stock turbo at 13P.S.I?? And does anyone know if the amount of boost you can run safely depends on the model of the car? eg series 1 vs series 2 r33?

It depends on what car it is, what mods it has (if it isn't stock) and the over all condition that the car/engine/turbo is in. Every car is different, there are no 2 the same. A mate has the exact same car as his brother, one is a 89 gts-t and the other a 90 gts-t, now we are talking 3 months between build dates of them.

They are exactly the same, stock as a rock bar a aftermarket pod, and a end can. Both are stock internals and running gear yet one has 42 rwkw more when put on the dyno.

Why, who know's it could me a number of reasons, the tubro life and engine condtion, stock intercooler, the point is that no two cars are the same, therefor you can't base them as the same.

Sure you can use it as a guide line and go from there but what works for one doesn't mean its going to work for the other :cheers:

Could be to do with the R33 ECU being very prone to dropping timing when intake temps get up. Seems like the R32 doesn't mind so much?

I just bled up my boost to 13psi after fitting my front mount, but I can barely feel any noticeable difference as everything else is stock bar a k&n panel filter. It just drops most of the boost anyhow back to 10psi. Needs exhaust, needs better airflow to the filter...blah.

In other words, raising the boost by itself is pretty pointless.

Yer good point, the Rb25 being 9:1 comp would be closer to detonation, high intake temps probably tip it over the edge quicker.

barely any difference with 13psi... lol That stock exhaust must kill the turbo's efficiency, going from 10.9psi (stock boost with 3" exhaust) to 12.5psi I noticed a definite difference.

On stock 10.9psi feels N/A.

    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt
