Your thoughts,

While riding my bicycle home last night I had a brain wave, whether it being from lack of oxygen to it or something.

I am lead to believe (from information in this forum) that the series 1 turbo cannot be safely boosted above around 12 psi. This seems to be the weak point in the engine system to allow more boost as the usual way to increase boost would usually be a larger or hiflowed turbo. Would it be possible and economic to add another series 1 turbo (as it is relatively cheap 2nd hand) to the system so that both turbos do not have to work as hard to increase the boost to say 18-20 psi? Can the internals of the engine handle that?

Obviously, the following would need to be in place; larger intercooler, air intake, exhaust, upgraded fuel pump and injectors, and an engine management system.

What are your thoughts on this system, possible costs of the added turbo only, and any other constructive thoughts?

Mike

I think what your thinking of is like the system that those race trucks use where 1 turbo feeds boost into the 2nd turbo's intake thereby increasing the final boost the engine recieves, really wouldn't work on stock R33 turbo's though, and not practical for a street car.

Another idea would be to setup a 2nd turbo after the dump pipe of the first so that both turbo's recieve all the gas flow of 6 cyclinders, hence no extra lag but double the airflow, similar to the Supra twin turbo.

Yeh,

Like I said, it was one of those thoughts that may not have any substance as there was a lacking of oxygen from riding my bike. Just a thought tho'

A 4dr GTR would be great as the cars I buy are required to have certain criterias to be filled (due to the wife's demands) and 4 doors is one of them. Luckily boot space wasn't, but now is. Looks like this cars here to stay.

You can get 4 door GTR's but they cost a bomb. If you're after more power, just sell your old turbo for around $500 and buy a new Garrett for around $2500. It'll work out to be around the same cost as adding another turbo (assuming that's even possible).

Also, for some reason insurance companies don't like twin turbos put onto cars that didn't come that way from the factory. My insurance company don't care that I've got an aftermarket turbo on, but they wanted to be sure that I didn't put a twin setup on. They don't actually care what the single turbo is though! Can't wait until I can afford a T88 ;) For some stupid reason they seem to think that going from single to twin turbo makes it insanely powerful. I didn't bother telling him that it's often the other way around.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
