kismetcapitan · 25th July 2007, 12:54 PM

if you've run more than recommended 1 bar on stock turbos, your results were...?

T.F.S. · 25th July 2007, 02:50 PM

lol, nice one

currently running 1.2 bar on ceramics, limiter@6500rpm

ru' · 25th July 2007, 03:22 PM

Running 1 bar, rare overshoots to 1.3... No problems as yet (touch wood!).

T.F.S. · 25th July 2007, 03:23 PM

how long have you been overboosting like that?

markpriorgts-t · 25th July 2007, 04:03 PM

how long was you running that boost?, did you take it easy with them or did you spank them time after time like when on a trackday?

Mookistar · 25th July 2007, 04:23 PM

i think the poll is reading wrong

1 bar, and over 1 bar without any problems should be two seperate options

mook

No idea (only had the car one month); whenever I look at the boost controller/guage it sticks at 1 bar no worries but the peak display function shows 1.3 ish...

car killer · 25th July 2007, 05:36 PM

ran mine around a year on 1bar and blew the exhaust wheel clean off the rear turbo thank fook it all went down the exhaust.Still got the remnants of the exhaust wheel as it got stuck in the back box

I think it is a case of when will they break rather than if they will.

Christophert21 · 25th July 2007, 10:32 PM

ran mine at 1.2-1.3 bar for 6 months of hard abuse.

Quick but a lottery ticket !

R34 engine and turbos, fitted decat which causes them to over boost as the waste-gate is too small to expel the pressure !
Result < totally trashed engine and disillusionment with ceramics.
Even now, when eating cereal out of the bowl I expect it to shatter and take out the rest of the building !

GeorgeGTR · 26th July 2007, 10:16 PM

You can run more boost out of them than the recomended 1 bar max but depending on how fit the turbo's are to start with depends on how long you'll be making boost!

Best to be safe!
