All the R32 onwards turbos are ball bearing. I'm fairly sure the NICS engines have bush bearing and some of the ceffys.

R34 has bigger wheels and bigger turbine housing. Compressor of R34 turbo is the same as R33 S2. Fairly sure turbine is the same aswell.

hymm i figured all R3X turbos are Ball Bearing. AFAIK.

But i can be wrong. The R34 turbo is much better, better trim wheels and so forth.

YOU gona sell the housing to me? LOL.

yeah mate, im still trying to find the exh housing as the 34 turbs was at a mates house and he got bored :P

yah the only real diff between 33 (s2) and 34 turbo is one has a plastic comp wheel the other a steel

so its normal to be ball bearing(r32 turb), thanks for that :)

Nope, R33 S1 has alloy compressor wheel, R33 S2 has nylon and it is the same as the R34 compressor. Blades are oriented the same as the R34 one, same wheel. R33 S1 has blade oriented differently

nope, 33 s1 has alloy yep, 33 s2 has nylon yep , 34 definately either alloy or steel. i put a s2 turbo on my old 32 (hence why i have a 32 turbo lying around), i bought a 34 turbo before i bought the 33 turbo to put on the 32 but was shafted as the 34 turbo was missing the exh wheel :dry: and a friend of mine pulled their s1 turbo off their 33 to get it high flowed or whatever so we had all three together at the one time. all three comp wheels are different :O

Hmm, I posted this topic in forced induction a while ago and the conclusion was that R34 had the same compressor as R33 S2. I also had Cubes send me some photos of an R34 turbo and it looked identical to my R33 S2 and everyone is very certain that R34 compressor is nylon like R33 S2. Happy to be corrected if it's not true, but we'll have to pass the message onto a lot of other people too

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.

      And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.

      No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.
