Hi everyone,

As topic states Is it worth putting R34 GTR turbos on R32 GTR?

I know they are steel wheel , ball bearing turbos so thats a plus. You could also run a bit more boost than 1 bar as well right?

Anyone done this before?

R34 GTR turbos are not steel wheeled.

They are cermic - it is not worth it.

Plenty of people have had them fail, just like all other factory GTR turbos. GTRGeoff in QLD had a low km set fail @ ~1bar as one example - killed the motor.

You play the game of chance @ your own risk.

The R34 N1 turbos are the pick of the litter when it comes to lag of N1 turbos, but I hope you do mean mean R34 N1 turbos not R34 GTR turbos as the R34 GTR are ceramic wheel, except for the R34 GTR N1 and Nur spec which come with the N1 steel wheel turbos

however the stock turbochargers in the BNR34 are larger, the compressor is 0.53a/r vs 0.42a/r (BNR32 and BCNR33)

but the ceramic issue/risk still remains in all family turbochargers

ok i guess what the dude means is swapping the

r32 gtr gt25 turbos

for the

r34 gtr gt28 turbos

if its for a lil tweak it should work but if its for big power you should updrade to a bigger set from garrett or sum

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?
