hey guys i just bought a std r32 gtst (only pod n 3 inch exhaust) n a mechanic said its been boosted well above 7psi n i dont have a boost controler to turn it down, even on low trottle the boost runs very quick to show reading over past the factory boost guage of 7psi, if im runnin this high boost for long,

a) what damage could it be doin to my engine n turbo since i dont have a front mount or any other mods for sufficient airflow cooling for the boost level (prob 10/11 psi)? if so what would be a safe boost level without puttin a strain on the engine without the frontmount?

B) what would be the cheapest n best way to fix the problem? (maybe turn the boost back down with a manual boost controller)

c) would a bleed valve help?

d) i also get 300km on a 42l tank with only some racing, is this decent?

thanks guys for any help you can give me.

If its showing 7 on the factory guage, it means its running over 14psi as the factory guage uses different units to psi.

The only way it can run more then standard boost is if the wastegate actuator has been changed, its stuck partially closed, or it has a bleed hole or split in the hose between wastegate actuator and the turbo compressor cover.

Check that first.

11-13psi is FACTORY :lol:

No its not

Factory is about 7psi, with a full 3inch exhaust and pod it will creep to 10-13 though, I know mine did.

Theres no way to turn it back down without getting a different spring. A boost controller will only allow you to set it higher then what you currently have. Id just take it easy on the hot days and get a FMIC so it doesnt cook the air. If its really going up to 14psi Id get the spring/actuator checked as somethings wrong there and it'll kill the turbo pretty quick smart and really cook the air.

does it still run good?

if so get a turbo timer and enjoy it i say.

With the standard turbo and intercooler anymore then 12psi will just cook the air making the engine more likely to ping (bad) and not give any power increase, I wouldnt recommend leaving it like that with summer coming up.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?

      thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
