Hi Guys

I am really curious to get some good info on this - I have personally had some really good result with steel turbine wheels on my STOCK gtr turbos (I actually bought a pair of CORES - no housings - and fitted them into my stock housings. The place I bought them called them N1 cores (but I have since been told they are not? Just stock cores with steel wheels?).

Anyways - I am curious as to how stock GTR32/33 turbos with steel wheels compare to the likes of N1's - so for what I know is that:

- stock turbos are .42 comp and .48 exhaust

- (some) N1's are .42 comp and .60 exhaust

Stock turbos spool up a bit earlier than N1's - but N1's are good for a bit more power?

Like to keep this topic about steel wheel stock turbos and N1's

Would really value some good dialogue on this. Cheers!

Stock turbo with steel wheels are smaller than N1's.

So logic dictates the stock turbos are more responsive, less power.

While the N1's are a bit larger, so less response and more power

Not a lot more to it than that mate.

Stock steel wheel'd turbos will pump 270rwkw or so. N1's closer to 300, or 320/330 if they are the big ones.

They will just be the same as stock turbos (if the wheels are near enough to stock size), with just a tad more peak as you can run a bit more boost safely.

They wont make leaps more power though. Just without the worry of them shitting themselves

Thanks for that!

so like R34 N1's (0.60 comp) would make 320 ~ 330?

Would a BIG ARC cooler help squeeze more than 270 out of the stock steel wheel ones (or the N1's for that matter)?

Cheers

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
