Hey Guys,

Sorry for the stupid questions (im just a newbie)

I have a r33 series 2 with exhaust and pod filter and carbon bonnet. (no front mount)

I want to turn the boost up.

What is a save level?

What will i gain (kw)?

Could anything go wrong?

Is there a device that is able to be controlled and monitored from the car?

Thanks in advance..

try a search for boost controllers/bleed valves, there is heaps of information out there.

read up as much as you can about all methods of altering your boost levels, but my advice would be that if you don't know what you are doing, don't touch it.

here is a couple of links to get you started -

There is heaps on the forums about this topic do a search mate.

10 to 11psi is the max I would run with the standard turbo.

You Will will notice a gain in performance but often the ECU richens the mixtures when it sees the extra boost causing the engine to overfuel which can result in flat spots thoughout the rev range. The fix's for this are gap your plugs from 1.1 to 0.8 if you still have touble after that you my need a apexi SAFC (piggy back computer for air fuel ratios) or Apexi power FC (full aftermarket ECU).

With full 3" exhaust from turbo back 10psi of boost and say an SAFC you will see around 160Kw to 175Kw ATW.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
