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 :(

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
