Series 2 turbo has a plastic wheel which is meant to spin up quicker.

Series 1 turbo has a ceramic wheel (I think) which would be more hardy?

Regardless both perform equally well but I'd go for the S2 one as it would have generally been used for less KMs .

It has been asked a few times so a search would have got you your answer but ill post because what wink posted is incorrect and im sure u want to know the correct info (no offence wink!! :laugh: )

both turbos have ceramic exhaust wheels

series one has steel compressor wheel

series two has plastic compressor wheel

the problem with them is the exhaust wheel which is the same on both, so the series two turbo is better as it spools up quicker with no real negatives.

Well I was half right.

No offence taken - the only way anyone learns in life is to make mistakes! :laugh:

They are, as stated indentical apart from the comp wheel.

Which, if you ask me, makes no noticeable difference.

Which ever one you get cheaper is the one your purchase

You shouldnt pay more than $400 for ANY R33 gts-t turbo these days

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
