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.

    • 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?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
