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

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

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
