If you have a GT2871, they're all worse then that...

If I remember correctly, the series 2 turbo had a front wheel made out of some sort of polypropolene that made it lighter and spool faster, but I could be wrong...

Either way, they're both pretty shit... Brittle exhaust wheels and tiny housings...

i did search and couldnt really find anything worthwhile, but i searched a while ago and i think i read the series II is a little biggER?

Nope, not bigger.

Made of different properties. S2 turbo can be boosted a little more as the material the compressor wheel is made of is lighter and a bit stonger.

Other than that, same shit, different smell.

assumption city

they are basically the same, the s2 cant handle more boost

anything around 12 or higher will kill the turbine, or put it at risk

running 12psi or higher, you are basically saying, i accept if the turbo fails and have $ to replace it

this is same for R33 series 1 or 2

the s2 has a different compressor wheel, but its far from stronger

Soooo what's different about it?

It's stonger. Search, and you shall find as well.

No, it's not.

Personal experience.

RB25s2 is not stronger than s1. The nylon compressor wheel like to delaminate when leant on too hard.. had one in the workshop not so long ago with lots of bits of nylon missing of the wheel.

I recently sold my RB25s1 turbo, that thing spent a year getting abused at 12psi on my RB20 and another year getting abused at 12psi on my RB30 while also being a restriction, which meant the exhaust housing was getting super hot and the exhaust wheel still didn't fail.

RB25 Neo turbos have a slightly bigger exhaust housing.

I think it's pretty much luck of the draw, boost it over stock and it can fail sooner than if you didn't boost it.

That being said, I still prefer RB25s1 turbos and will advocate them over the later nylon wheeled units.

I'd have to agree with the Series 1 turbos being stronger, but would also say the series 2 spool up faster. But when standard we're only talking like 100rpm or something anyway, it's pretty much instant!

Umm.. Series 1 turbo has a STEEL compressor wheel while Series 2 has a NYLON compressor wheel. BOTH TURBOS HAVE CERAMIC EXHAUST WHEELS.

Oh and doof, of course the nylon wheeled turbo spools up marginally faster.. that was the whole point of the lighter compressor wheel :D

    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
