More Boost

[Jaz]

Just joined the proud Skyline owners club with an R32 GTR.

All is standard except the exhaust and I want to know what boost pressure I should expect to see.

Can anyone tell me???

[RellikZephyr]

stock boost is about 9 psi (0.7 Bar) if my memory serves me right

but be warned if you intend on boosting it up on stock turbos DO NOT go any higher than 14psi (1.0 Bar)

and grats the the buy i own a R32 GTR as well and i love my car

Have fun ( I DO )

Cheers RellikZepher,

I have a boost guage that measures KG/CM2 and am registering 0.5. Seems low.

The standard guage is only hitting the mark between 0 and 7. Feels a little soft.

Any further info would be great.

Go the R32's

[RellikZephyr]

KG CM2 is almost identical to Bar

so yes that does sound a bit low

The standard guage is only hitting the mark between 0 and 7..

With the standard guage 7 is approx 14psi.. or 1 bar..

so hitting 1/2 is about 7psi..

do you have details on the skyline owners club, how to get in touch etc.

[RellikZephyr]

i wouldnt mind those details

Thanks

I recently bought an R32 GTR too, and sussed this all out.

1bar = 1.02 kg/cm^2

so for the accuracy of these gauges, they are the same thing.

standard boost on R32 GTR is 0.7bar = 10.2psi = 7 on the standard gauge

I have heard talk on here of the standard gauge being unreliable though. it might be best to fit an aftermarket gauge, or go to a good workshop and road test the car with a good quality gauge temporarily attached.

13psi is heaps cause turbo change in car is a prick install power fc and tune what u have

i thought the standard gauge is in mm/hg? not kg/cm2.

yes, the standard gauge is not much use. best off to use an aftermarket gauge to check it out.

Vacuum is measured in mm/Hg. Boost measured in kpa/psi/bar/what have you.

My GTR is tuned to 11PSI.

With R34 GTR turbos (ball-bearing, ceramic wheel) exhaust and pods its pulling 293hp as you can see from my sig
