I will tell the dudes then. I was once a dumb turd too.

Yeah they are different, the series 1 turbos have ceramic turbines and the series 2 have plastic turbines. Means that the series 2 turbos are able to spool up a little faster, but they are weaker cos they are plastic.

If thats all u need to know, then there u go, but if not, the USE THE SEARCH

King is wrong. Have a look at this thread about me blowing up a S2 turbo, pics are towards the bottom of the page - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=33696

It is complete with pictures of the turbo compressor wheels from both a S1 and S2 turbo. Both have a ceramic exhaust wheel. The S1 turbo has a single blade compressor wheel whilst the S2 turbo has a twin bladed compressor wheel.

not sure - haven't had a chance to drive mine much since I fitted the new turbo as i got shipped up to a minesite.. :P

but I'd imagine the s2 is better.. you'd think anyway.. it won't be a fair comparison from mine as my s2 was pretty shagged to begin with...

king was almost there. from what i have have seen...

s1 - ceramic exhaust wheel, steel intake wheel with single fin design

s2 (what i have in my R32) - ceramic exhaust wheel, nylon intake wheel with twin fin design

the later turbo seems to be designed to pick up boost earlier. may not be as strong but i'm not sure

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
