Hello,

I would like to see in this discussion peoples knowledge on turbos.

How they work , diagrams of intercoolers and all other relevant diagrams related to this topic.

I would hope it be in laymen terms or close. Does anyone really understand them?

I am interested myself, but have problem identifying part and where they fit.

Dumps,front pipes, actuators inlet turbine exhaust turbine ,sizing metric and imperial.

If you are able to show these on cars like a gtr or gtst it would help people even greater,

turbo basically uses the exhaust gasses to spin the impeller wheel, which sucks in and compresses air and pretty much forces it into the engine, meaning you get more compression pretty much.

Intercoolers, basically they are a heat sink. You have your sort of solid rows in the middle which the compressed air goes through, and then you have like this see through mesh bit. The air passes through this, cooling the metal and the surrounds, including the compressed air. etc etc etc My brain hurts too much to explain any more atm :)

good info in there

howstuffworks.com will give you a good insight into how they work and the most common questions and follows up on turbocharging and supercharging if you are curious

Thank you all for that info.

Cheers

It was not the purpose of this thread, I knew the function of turbos and how they worked

Pipe names, terminology used was more my interest.

Sizes were also important showing us volume and turbine speed

Anyway thanks again for the input guys

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
