Hi guys,

im thinking of buying a blown turbo. Its 34N1 1441-AA403. It can pump 500ps. Is it worth it to get it high flowed? Im looking into making 320kw@4wheels. Or should i just save up and go for a GTSS? Im thinking if im getting it highlowed for the blown turbo i will put in a journal bearing instead of a ball bearing for a quicker response. Where can i get the turbos highlowed with journal bearing? And how much? Is it worth it and the effeort of getting the turbo higlowed? Differeces in perforamnce compared to the cost of highflowed and a GTSS?

My rig is actuall a 260rs which is basically a r33gtr. Will be using the rig only on the street though. Appreciate for any opinions or comments.

Journal bearing is LESS responsive than Ball Bearing.

As far as i know journal bearings are used for high speed applications. And its more precise in terms of the siiting of the shaft and the bearing itself. In a ball bearing it will have a minute play in the shaft due to the ball bearings.

These guys will do it. But make sure you explain to them the benifits of journal bearings, as they might try to sell you those overrated ball bearing units. Also try to stay away from steel exhaust wheels, get ceramic, much lighter for faster spool. :laugh:

plain incorrect......

GARRET have marketed it quite well but at the end of the day it is just another way to get the same result. If journal bearings are still the preffered choice for all jet fighter turbines (due to same performance better reliability) i will continue to take the debate with a grain of salt.

i dont care either way as we sell large amounts of GARRET and Journal type turbos :ph34r:

as for your hi-flow dont bother, i would just save up and getting GT-SS's as they are small enough to get the 320awkw you need with excellent response..

Not quite ;)

I was talking specifically about the turbo's he wants to sort out.

Not a blanket statement that takes into accounts airplanes...

LOL!!! yea thats what i thought too. All high speed turbines and jet engines uses journal bearing like my irrgation pump which is a groundfos. pulled it aprat the other and its got a journal bearing at the bottom of it.

Now what the maximum limits in terms of Hp or kw can i get the car into with stock internals? Long term realibitlity. Cos thats whats going to govern of which turbo to get.

Im cureently looking for parts like :

800cc injectors

bosh 044 fuel pump

FRPs

AFms

havent decide which turbo yet?!

      I don't know if you can disassemble the thing and put it backwards for different ramp rates. They're both "2 ways" or both "1.5 ways" because well, 2 ways and 1.5 ways are the same 'thing' I do not know for sure, but I believe the 38420-RSS15-B5 is the 1 way, and 38420-RSS20-B5 is the two way. In other words, I predict Nissan considers this: to be a 1.5 way. No idea what actually happens when it arrives/you disassemble it. It would be an excellent question to ask Nismo directly! I somehow doubt you will get an answer though, I feel you would be the first person to document what you encounter when you open the box and the internet would be grateful.

      Well - they have arrived.  And they are easy on the eye to put it mildly... These only have three bolts - but for a start there is a key that fits with vacuum like precision..  And as you can see by my ruler, the interface is large..   I listened to a podcast on HP Academy about Dan (KiwiCNC) and I'm more than comfortable he knows what he is doing. R35 Bearing assembly should arrive later today so can mock that up for a look. Can't wait to get these on and get some brake pressure logging too. IMG_3860.MP4

      I would be very confident that they are the same parts (the 2 different SKUs). It seems very clear that you can drop the cam in the 2-way opening, or in the other opening. If you arrange it in the other opening in the same way that you see any other 1-way diff, ie, with the flat of the cam up against the 1° side of the opening, then it would work as a 1-way. It can only spread the ramps when driving forwards - cannot spread the ramps on overrun. It would then appear obvious that if you put the cam into the opening "backwards", that you would get the angled flats of the cam working onto the "points" of the 1° side of the opening, which would give you ramp spread in both loading directions. I do wonder if the forward direction of the 1.5-way config is equivalent to the forward direction of the 2-way, seeing as the cams are flipped and the angled surfaces on those would need to be the same on each side - AND - clearly when installed in either the 2-way or 1-1ay configuration they are not intended to work exactly the same (the ramp angles on the 2-way are 10° different between forward and backward, and the ramp doesn't exist in the 1-way config). 'twere me, I think I would rather actually have a set of rings that offered the 2-way with two different sets of ramp angles, say the 55/45 of the existing design and maybe a 45/37.5 combo for a less aggressive effect), AND another set of rings with a dedicated 1.5-way opening and a dedicated 1-way opening. The 1.5-way opening would actually have the steeper angle on the overdrive side that causes it to be less pushy than the forward drive angle, like you see in many other diffs. But really - if this Nismo thing is thought out properly and all those surfaces work on each other the way that they need to, who am I to argue?
