Who is running the stock GTT turbo at this sort of boost?

How long have you been running it?

I got my GTT tuned recently and they tuned it with this boost. I figure I can always drop it down a bit but it might mess around with my tune?

I would probably just leave it up at what it is, if its reasonably safe.

I deliberately tried one at 12 psi, lasted 4 laps (1 warm up and 3 fast) at Oran.

Ben's lasted 5 laps at Wakefield at 12 psi.

I warned a guy running 12 psi that it would happen to him.

He reckoned it wouldn't 'cause he never drives on the circuit

His got his ceramic in the cat disease driving hard up the hill from the Mooney Mooney bridge on the F3.

Cost him a new turbo and a bottle of JD (he lost the bet :rolleyes: ).

tick....tick......tick

:P cheers :(

Uh, this might sound like a really odd question.

But if you blew your exhaust turbine wheel pretty bad, so that it wouldnt spin the compressor any more. Then effectivly, the car will always be in VAC, will the ECU still be able to run the car correctly at say 5000 when it would normally be in +ve pressure?

I can get it at 5000 in vac, just doing down a hill in second. But... i dont know if thats the same?

Essentially, if turbo breaks, can the car still run/be driven normally?

ALSO, does the cat get damaged much when blade peices go into it?

In the examples above, all 3 guys drove their car home without a problem.

:rolleyes: cheers :P

Yeah, my compressor wheel still spins with the air going through it, but it's rubbing on the housing, and it squeels like a banshee!

Still drives though. Just doesn't do it in any sort of hurry!

Is the R34 turbo weaker than the R33? I was going to get my dyno tune (on my 33) done at 12psi so atleast the tune would be good up to there..then back it off to 10psi for most use. Maybe I'll go back to 10psi then too be safe as maybe on the dyno at 12psi the turbo will blow up :rolleyes:

Thanks for all the replies guys.

The reason I ask is because a friend of mine ran a stock r33 turbo for 6 months on about 15psi with no problems at all.

And I have spoken to a few people around the place who run them on about 13-14 daily with no problems.

But you certainly cant ignore the broken turbos in this thread.

If my car is tuned for 14 will it run badly if i drop it down to 10 with my avcr? I might run it on 10 for daily and pop it back up on weekends... haha

there's another factor to consider.

14 psi on a stock computer ain't as much as a problem as 14 psi on a PFC running timing and 12.0 AFR.

Lots of timing and lean ratios, = HOT gas.

The ceramic turbine gets too hot which makes it delaminate from the shaft.

Hence, cooler exhaust gas, less chance of blowing turbo.

Not likely I wouldn't think on a single turbo.

When you blow the wheel off, the are normally at WOT and by the time the thing blows and the you realise, the thing is already embedded in your cat!!

    • I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.       
    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
