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!!

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
