Just under +7 as in just under the line or the actual print +7?

If just under the print or .7bar (10.15psi) sounds right.

My stock boost with a full 3" is 11psi.

Some with a 3.5" have seen 12psi.

I had a friend install it on his VL, it would only hold 10-11psi or so, stock boost on those are around 7.

I'm putting the turbo on tomorrow with the bleeder, I suspect it will tail off at high rpm as my dump pipe is not the best.

I'll be getting a split dump made up when I drop the xr6 turbo on around xmas. I've got a vg30det bb ceramic turbo going on to keep me happy until then. :huh:

It should only need around 11psi to make ~200rwkw.

I picked up the vg30det turbo for $300 or was it $350.. :P It was some time ago.

I wouldn't put a VG30 turbo on a RB20DET, I've done it in the past and it was a bad match. The turbine housing is too large for the little compressor.

A RB25 turbo is a much better match to the RB20DET, it has a slightly larger compressor wheel than the vg30det turbo and a slightly smaller turbine housing. On small motors you want to keep the turbine housing as small as you can.

The VG30det turbo will make the same power as the rb25 turbo BUT there will be less area under the curve on a small motor.

The RB25 turbo vs the vg30det turbo on a RB30DET, the vg30det will have more area under the curve as the motor will rev harder and not flatten out at the top end. as much. :)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
