hey i was talking to this guy and he was positive that his car was running 10 psi. now his car is completely stock, i mean he has an aftermarket muffler and a boost gauge. his gauge reads 10 but i cant see that it has been boosted by any method and it sure doesnt drive like it run 10psi.

anyway i said that stock boost is 7 to 8 psi depending. this is right yeah?

  • 4 weeks later...
he got bleed valve or seomething?

one of those turbo smart ones

You can get extra boost by doing as I've done.

...and yes......7-8 psi is about standard on a R33 GTST (RB25DET).

Small hole drilled into the wastegate rubber hose. (directly before WG).

Innitially, it's hit and miss.

I made up 5 small lenghts of pipe with holes of various sizes. (.5 to 1.5mm), till I found the right one, (i carried them in the glovebox for easy change over).

Making constant 12-13psi (measured) for the past year now.

I had the GFB bleeder valve, ....cops pulled it out for me.

The hole in the W/G pipe is undectable!! (and also has the same effect as the $80 GFB!!!)

I re-gapped the plugs to .8mm at the same time.....could never bo back to std boost now!!

Also have been running the 'black wire' mod too, on the solenoid (also undectable), so boost cuts in earlier. Works great, that mod!! (search the forumn, but make sure you earth the right wire!!!).

All this works for me, and the car makes a conservative and safe no- bullshit 174RWkw....not bad for standard...thanx to these forumns!!!!

Mark.

Hey mark.. when you say standard, how standard??

cause i have read that R33's run about 140rwkw stock (7psi).. im just curious (QRI05E) if ONLY 5 psi of extra boost have given you 35rwkw?? or you have a 3" exhaust and pod aswell???

Oh yes, and to help answer the topic question... i have seen R33 GTSt's fitted with an R32 GTSt WG acutator which are set to 10psi from factory therefore no bleed valve required!!! maybe your friends R33 has one fitted??

Well there is such a thing called Boost creep, From Small mods like Exhaust and pods, When I got my car in with exhaust and pod the boost gauge was running around 12psi, I got told from a good source that mild mods that you would norm wouldnt think anything about can cause boost creep. So that could also explain about your friends R33

Hi QR,

I don't know the standard specific power output at wheels of 33GTST, your numbers seems ok. By standard all I mean is there are no internal/turbo/ECU changes to my car.

3 inch zorst and old foam Airinx pod (as per my Avitar description) is what I've got. So I guess that 'in-combination' with these 'shallow' and basic mods, I would be making the extra Rkw.

By the way QR, I can actually put my car back to 'stock' within a couple of hours and feel a dramatic difference. (much slower on take off, which is all I'm interested in by the way!!!)

Picture is of my 'bleeder valve' prior to Police kindly removing it for me!!

Hole in the WG pipe works just the same, (says a lot for these devices!!$$$$$)

ps .I don't think the R32 actuator you mention relates to me??

Thanx mate!!

Mark.

12psi on a 33-t with nothing more than an exhaust and a pod?

:D:D

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
