Hey all my first post!!! had a quick search couldnt find what i was after, I am curious to know how strong the ceramic wheeled turbos that come stock with my GTR??

What amount of 'torture' can they withstand??

And also what are some of your opinions of the ARC super induction box??

thanks

std ceramic exhaust wheel like the other gtr ones

it may fail if you go over 12psi ish

if it fails, it can kill the engine

So would it be better to leave on standard boost and save up for new turbos??

Say N1s or GTSS or garret equivalent

If you go R34 GTR N1's, they are pretty much the equivalent to HKS GTSS, different Compressor Housing and Compressor Wheel.

Specs wise is very similar, but max power output is approx:

N1's = 367.75 kW

GTSS = 411.88

... From memory.

WRAOWNG - Neg.

2860-7s ARE r34 N1s and 2859-9s are HKS GTSS without actuators (i believe 2859-1 are the same with the actuators attached or get -9s and use ur stock actuators)

N1s are not GTSS, they are 2 different turbos.

N1s are alot like stock but stronger as not ceramic, go the GTSS (-9)

Ah yeah!

Fuck, I over looked that on my turbo chart.

Thanks.

BTW there are 3 Spec of R34 GTR N1's :P

I just compared the specs and they were quite similar but the GTSS and -7's are pretty much inline ball with each other... Like you said.

GTR R34N1 (14411-AA403)

GT22 / C106 / 44.5 - 60.0 / 55T / 0.42 / T25 / GT25 / 42.4 - 53.8 / 62T / 0.64 / Ball Bearing.

Garrett 707160-7

GT25 / GT25 / 44.5 - 60.0 / 55T / 0.42 / GT25 / GT25 / 42.4 - 53.8 / 62T / 0.64 / Ball Bearing.

HKS GT-SS

T04B / GT25 / 44.46 - 59.41 / 56T / 0.42 / T25 / GT25 / 42.4 - 53.85 / 62T / 0.64 / Ball Bearing.

lol that i did not know!

post it up

34N1 (14411-AA401)

T3 / C106 / 44.5 - 60.0 / 55T / 0.6 / T25 / GT25 / 42.4 - 53.8 / 62T / 0.64 / Ball Bearing.

34N1 (14411-AA402)

T3 / C106 / 44.5 - 60.0 / 55T / 0.6 / T25 / GT25 / 42.4 - 53.8 / 62T / 0.64 / Ball Bearing

Pretty much the same but the Compressor Housing and the Compressor A/R are different.

Stock R34 GTR turbos run around 0.8 bar boost with restrictor in. With boost restrictor removed they run about 1 bar. On the ball bearing turbos 1 bar is fine.

Problem is, most people think their boosted 'genuine' 60,000km gtr will withstand 1 bar forever... Only to realise the Turbos have done more like '160,000' km's after they go bang.

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
