R34 Neo Turbo (just Double Checking)

[GTAAAH]

The 34 NEO turbo is almost the same as a series 2 r33 turbo right (in that it has a lighter compressor wheel than the series 1)

And will adapt straight on to where my old one was, in the same way the 33 turboes would?

Will my rb20 wastegate actuator still fit? Im assuming i wont need to run any extra lines for oil or anything.

Thanks, i just read some weird article in autosalon the other day (article on the RB series (clearly autosalon is the epitome of everything intelligent )) and it seemed to imply a different set up on the NEO's (as well as shorter life, but they probably just tripping there)

The series 2 R33 and R34 both have nylon compressor wheels.

Nope... search would tell you the rear housing is larger on the NEO RB25 turbo.

There is also a thread with pics in it

Hmm slightly larger rear housing huh.. (housing for exhaust wheel?? Same sized connections though right, but it might not fit under the standard heat shield?

Sry, i didnt think was worth searching for, assumed both were the same.. Ill do one see if it helps

Hmm, i got 11 pages of topics without mention of "NEO r34 TURBO" in The majority, weird search function on this site >.<

All i found was "If he puts more boost into it (above another 1-2psi) it will fail under extended load" (quoted from you, talking about a 32 NEO) Which sounded odd, because mose people say that the 33 turboes are good for 14 psi on a rb20 which is a increase of 5 over standard. Granted that the r25 will put more strain on the turbo than the rb20, id think what this seems to suggest is that a standard series 2 turbo would be more reliable? Or am i way off? thx

are the nylon wheels stronger?

[lows_13]

Just spool up faster, but arn't as strong as steel.

cheers moiyt

Its a direct bolt on like the 33 turbo then, coolnezz thx

Im getting the 34 turbo installed this week and came across my old topic, re-read it and got a question. A larger rear housing will mean it spools later ay.. So i will be expecting even more lag than a 33 turbo humm?!?.. Is it significantly larger or only a little, if its going to be to laggy ill sell it and buy a 33 series 2 turbo instead, any one?

Hey,

I have a RB20DET and im running a R34 Turbo. Im running 10psi on it at the moment but will be raising the boost soon. Full boost cuts in on mine around 3000-3500revs. When I had my Turbotach Maunual boost controller on I was running 13psi boost and the full boost was coming in at around 3000revs. I took the boost controller off casue i damaged the coils and had to fix them, will be putting it back on soon though, lol.

[GTAAAH]

Ohh thats fine then (not the rooted coils ), thanks alot dude, i was having second thoughts.

Obviously loaded up in fourth..

You'll find in second gear pulling out of a corner it will pull well (snap in if you like) from 4k somewhere verses the stock rb20det turbo from 3-3.5k ish depending on boost run. The more boost the later they feel as if they snap in hard.

The R34 turbo has a slightly larger exhaust housing and yes it will bolt up to your RB20 just like a r33 turbo. You can run a max of 14psi with this turbo as your engine is smaller the turbo doesnt have to work as hard to produce boost.

[GTAAAH]

Ahh ok, so im not expecting too much more lag then over the 33 turbo's that most people are running.

thanks guys
