R34 Gt-t Standard Turbo

[LouLou]

hey guys,

i just got my r34 gt-t last wednesday and i was wondering if any of you know what the standard turbo is exactly and if its a ball, bush, or roller bearing turbo.

Tried using the search button yet?

It holds the answer to the question without a doubt

It's a ball bearing turbo

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.

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???

[CEF11E]

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.

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

[mad34]

my brothers 33 with 34 turbo was on it for a couple of years with hard driving. Now he has changed turbo and it is sitting in the shed with no shaft play and in perfect condition. NO spitting exhaust wheel at all.

[Abo Bob]

Dude have a look around on the forum. If you and your bro are boosting away happily then good luck to you. That's all it is anyway. There are plenty of us here who have blown one of these turbos so we know how to do it.

[mad34]

well when im looking for a new turbo i will stand corrected i suppose.

until then i dont believe 11 psi blows them

[Abo Bob]

No one said 11 psi blows them.

[mad34]

sorry i mean 12psi

thats what infected has said 12 psi blows them.

i understand that you may not get power increase after that but it wont let go at 12 thats all i am saying

[Sydneykid]

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?

cheers

[mad34]

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.
