I just prchased a R32 GTS-T completely stock but have put a air intake and a boost controller to 14psi. However the boost controller is installed correctly and the boost reads 14psi when driving but didn't increase the speed or top end much at all.

I've been told the standard turbo is no good for this and a R33 GTS-T is the way to go with a FMIC? I would like to hear any other suggestions for this. PLEASE HELP

I thought R32's had alot more than this but apparently they all are like this.

Maybe for tune is out of whack? Fitting an R33 turbo will be good as the R32 turbos will come apart around the psi you are using. Fitting a front mount will increase the power but i'd be thinking that maybe your car needs a good tune.

Run some injector cleaner through it as the injectors may be abit dirty and will clog up.

Test the compression? Maybe your engine is lacking compression and therefore power

For a start you will need to get the car tuned.. so it will require some device to let you tune it.. just winding the boost up to 14psi and expecting instant power increase is not going to really work.

in my experience, fitting an rb25 turbo will give you bit more mid and top range.. on the street it may actually feel slower, and a bit more laggy at coming on boost.

14psi on a standard R32 i properly wouldn't run the boost that high turbo won't like that much. All depends on what sort of power you are hoping to get out of your car and how deep your pockets are really. I have just finshed building my up i got 210rwkw which i am quiet happy with but it cost a bit as i had to rebuilt my engine as it was shagged. And then it is a matter of bolting all the go fast bits on getting yourself a after market ECU and a good tuner (Don't take short cuts with the tuning most important thing) If you want to know my mods sent as a PM if not good luck with the hunt for power

stock boost is 10psi already so uve only added 4psi but still not worth it on that turbo cause it wont be much better and could cook the ceramic turbine

i always found with the stock turbo it would hit you in the back at about 2500rpm and pull almost the same to the redline - fun for punching at low rpm but no hang on at high rpm :)

should be sweet to run 14psi with a rb25det turbo on the 2ltr and u get some pickup from 3500 onwards :(

    • My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.
    • Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway  
    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
    • I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.    
    • Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
