Boyz and girlz of all ages, I have a quick question...

The Stock turbo on a R33 Skyline.. how good is it really.

How much boost can be reached threw it at a safe level and what steps are needed to do that?

a T3 turbo, is it a stright bolt on to the RB25DET?

the other day I turned the boost slightly up to 10psi.

sometime when i give it, the car sergues?? anyone knows whats up?

Thankx guys :cheers:

The stock turbo is prone to lamination on the exhaust wheel and can disintergrate but sayin that I dont know how many have done this or when it will occur.

With a stock intercooler 10psi is pushing the intercooler's flow rate and could/most probably be why your are getting surges.

To run high boost pressures you will have to upgrade the intercooler at least, if not your fuel system as well and a engine management system to do it properly. the last two struggle to run your engine at above standard settings and can result in detonation due to lean running.

As to the T3 I dont know but am interested to find out as I am looking for a bolt on higher flowing turbo.

search...

but yes t3 is the same size (same flange)

as for boost level have said this a few times now. A lot of us have been running 12psi for ages on stock turbo.

I have been running mine on 12 for 2 years.

r33, remapped 32 comp, exst, fmic, no idea of any internals, stock turbo

216wrkw last dyno. (tuning tool only)

Dont do it with stock everything else other wise you will get boost cut.

i got a Front mount cooler, just need to install it. I'm thinkin about a piggy back computer? apexi AVCR or a SAFC, will these help wit the mapin go the fule and air??

The safc will help with your fuel and air mix when tuned properly. See a reputable tuner. The AVCR will not map air and fuel it is a boost controller.

the fuel pump and injectors will do nothing, as it will be a waste of money.

Fuel pump if you are going to push more than 180rwkw out of it.

The surge will be it boost cutting. You'll find that even though you are running 10psi of boost, it'll either have a restriction somewhere, or you'll be spiking and hitting the boost cut (which hits at 12psi) and doing to good old rich and retard.

    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
