R34 Gtr N1's - With Fairly Stock Rb26dett Engine...will This Be Okay?


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, ive got a fairly stock r33 gtr rb26 engine, and have found a really good price on some r34 gtr n1's....and wanted to replace the ceramics with these as i know the ceramics can cause alot of pain to the engine if they let go!!!

Do these n1 turbos need any modifications to fit to the standard manifold/dumps etc....or is it direct bolt up?

Will i be okay running these turbos if my rb26 is not mofidfied highly?

mods:

acl forged piston (.5mm oversize)

1.2mm thick headgasket tomei

arp headstuds

3" exhaust

ARC panel filters

no other mods, and factory ecu...would this be a wise idea, i just dont want to ruin my rebuilt motor by keeping the ceramics.

thanks

yep it's a great idea. with 1.2mm gasket and forged pistons you could quite happily run up to 20psi providing you have the fuel supply and cooling and tuning to support it. :)

Ive got The r34 N1 Turbos Good Choice Perfect Street Turbo , If i was You But i would Get a Aftermarket ECU Apexi Power FC , Fuel Pump And a Good Set of Injectors . With these Mods and your Mods Car Should Run Great ...

Thanks mate, can the n1's use the stock dumps? heres the auction for the turbos, are these real N1 Turbos?p.s will these be ok with stock ecu for now?

i run the trust ones. thats the dunmps and front pipe in one (three piece)

very nice but anything is better than standard! tomei items look nice!

Cooper if your in new zealand your xforce dealer out there (who sells stuff on ebay under performance guru) has very very cheep xforce gtr dumps!

Does anyone know the diametre of the the pipe on the x-force dumps where the dump connects to the front pipe? And if possible the distance from centre to centre of the bolt holes on the same end? I need to know if the front pipes i have at home will bolt up to these dumps.

If the front pipes fit the stock dumps i'd say you will be right! xforce ones are copys of hks dumps.

this guy from nz is clearly the cheepest you'd find them! and i beleive he's nz's distributor for xforce!

Hi, definetly replace the dumps but do not replace the manifolds. The turbo's are not big enough to worry about that and if anything aftermarket manifolds will give the turbo's more lag. Iam running these same turbo's in my r32 GTR with an R33 engine and Iam making 314.7rwkw on 20psi. With supporting mods like 550cc injectors/040 fuel pump/power fc/turbo back exhaust etc

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
