Dont think it shits itself i ran it to 14psi and held

have u noticed your probably not making any more power than running 11psi ..

hahahahahahahah there's a difference between u think and u know!

keep thinking and keep running it at 14psi and see what happens...lol :lol: :lol:

I dont always run it at 14 if thats what you think during the day i run it at .360 and night at .600. i got told the limit is 14psi

11psi is the limit for the stock turbo anything higher than this and u will see a exhaust wheel out the backend...also there is not much to be had above 11psi ...u might as well use it for a hairdryer.

:P:P:D

everyone has a different figure in mind.

I had one running at 12psi let go after a few weeks

I had another i was running at 16psi for almost a year in my car even drifted it like that and it never broke

Now I wouldnt push it past 13psi. after that it is just pushing hot air anyway.

My brother was running up to 16 psi sometimes with his r33gtst which had an r34 turbo put on it. he gave it heaps on full boost and it held together. What are you basing this this 11psi figure on???

hahaha and i bet it did nothing at 16psi !

and through r & d !

hmmmmmmm since im sick of explaining do a search !

and geezzzz maybe because there's 4 people i know that have blown them running 12psi exhaust wheel out the exhaust (and yet i told them its only good for 11psi )

and how long did it hold together....?

and yes the r34gtt turbo is only good for 11psi thats its limit ...

yeah well i also have an r34gtt and its boosting slightly below the +1 on the standard boost gauge, which would mean it is boosting at roughly 12-13 psi?? and the turbo hasn't let go yet.

i suggest you do some more r & d before you pretend like you are an expert

Heat and torque loading kills the ceramic turbine, not boost on its own. I have seen 6 Skylines with ceramic in the cat disease at 12 psi or more. But the people that own these 6 Skylines actually USED the 12 psi for more than 5 minutes continuously at higher than 5,000 rpm. Not 12 psi/>5,000 rpm for a few seconds, then doddle around for a month or so.

So you can run 50 psi if you like, just don't do it for very long, not long enough for the heat to build up. That's why some people have problems at 12 psi and some people don't. The people that have problems are actually using the power that the 12 psi facilitates. The people that don't have problems at 12 psi doddle around most of the time and get no benefit from the 12 psi. So they might as well not bother.

it wont let go at 12

I will be in Adelaide next month, I will bet you that at >12 psi I can kill your ceramic turbine in less than 10 minutes. Wanna test it?

:O cheers :)

hahahahahaha

yeah sure why not sydneykid then when you have finished blowing my turbo for me you can come back to my house and f**k my sister.

hahahahahaha

funny guy, but well put i must say. hahahahha

maybe thats why the turbo hasn't blown yet because i dont hold it at 12 or 16 psi for 5 mins straight. Realisticly when are you going to hold it on boost for that long with normal driving?? unless you are on a dyno or on an autobahn its not going to happen.

    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
