safe boost 4 a stock 32 turbo?

[rb20sh1ttrr]

hey , i just got my fmi put in and im wondering wot a safe boost lvl is :/ is 1 bar alrite? or would that b 2 much :wave:

[upgarage]

1 bar is about the most id put in

[rb20sh1ttrr]

u rkn 1bar is good 4 the engine , or should i drop it just 2 b on the safe side

[R31 POWER]

1bar is fine.2bar lol

[GTS4SUM]

12psi would be the safest most reliable. thats what im running anyway

[180 sx]

rb20's you should be fine with 12-14psi. My mate has been running 14psi for ages in his rb20.

.2bar.lol
Dont be a pussy, go hard core bro. lol

[DLuded]

depends on what condition the engine is in

if its good then poeple run 14psi but other have had their turbos blow running a lot less

its just depends on your luck

[R32-GTR]

18psi u weak ****

[G0DF4Th3R]

18 psi is a real man's territory

i run 19 myself

[R31 POWER]

LOL simon and bam.Is it possible to run 18psi to redline with a good boost controller?I had a crap controller and it spiked to 18psi and felt good but fell back to 14psi and then 10 at redline.

[R32-GTR]

I think mine would hit 17 then drop back to 16 around redline. Loved it.

how's about a neo 25 turbo on an rb20?
i'm planning on running 1 bar

[McKVNT]

Mine runs whatever the hell it wants..

1st to 4th gear it will run 10-12psi (spikes to 12, settles at 10)

5th gear it will run about 13 psi

Don't know what reverse gets.. :P

Anyone know why it would do that??

[R32-GTR]

Maybe it likes little boys ?

[McKVNT]

Yeh the thought did cross my mind that it was like that... but I haven't seen it with any little boys lately so I don't think thats the problem...

1 bar will be ok, anything else is exhaust wheel spitting territory

[RB20ZED]

meh 1 bar daily 16psi for runs allways has worked well on zed never broken a zorst wheel yet

[lysdexia]

mm 16psi daily shat a wheel off a Neo turbo on a 20 in a 31club dude's car, for runs one would imagine it wouldnt hurt

[Jazza]

Ur all fkn pussys... mine ran 1.5bar (22psi) droppin back to 15psi at redline ONCE LOL
I wish my boost controller would mess up again that was so much fun hahahah
Btw you can run 1bar on the turbos fine, and probably abit more with a neo turbo (around 16psi) and shouldn't have any problems unless its been hurt before of course

[Jazza]

lol was a one off dun wana blow the turbo up :p
Quiet happy to sit on stock boost for now!

[RB20ZED]

hahahahah turbo die hahah imagine the ping that the engine would be copping after the massive boost spike aahhh love it

[ghostr31]

yer i ran my rb25 turbo on 1bar but yer no probs but from the other posts everyone goes higher LOL

[180 sx]

standard turbo will take 22psi all day every day. DOnt worry about tuning it either, cars run fast when they run lean :P trust me man my car was running 27psi before rebuild and that fucer went fast.....go hardcore and ****, but stay around 14psi if you want life without tune, dont go large turbo. 1 bar rb25 turbo worked a treat for ghostr31 until he bloody put the gt30 on and that needed a tune then.

[got boost]

smash that sh!t in at least 1bar. if it breaks a wheel its upgrade time

[r31vhead]

I'll turn things around and say that 12psi would be about the limit.

Like someone said earlier, it's down to luck, but I blew my one on 14psi in about 1 week of driving time.

Upgrade time I guess, not sure on whether to hi-flow this one or save up for a 2530 or something.

[HotSil80]

You are pushing your luck above 12psi especially if it is an old turbo
