the R33 turbo has a steel compressor wheel

the r34 turbo has a plastic compressor wheel

they both have ceramic exhaust wheels

ive herd that some S2 R33 turbos have the plastic wheel aswell but im not sure.

but i think the plastic compressor wheel is better then the ceramic one from the R32s.

but i think alot of the gained power has been from the VVT. There's less lag aswell.

Well I guess it depends what limits rpm first, the valvetrain or the bits of metal swinging around underneath...

After hearing the Blitz R34 drifting car screaming on the (sounds like 8,000rpm+) limiter I am guessing that this is the difference.

an RB26 has the same size bore and a longer stroke and revs higher than an RB25 so...

Well I know it probably doesn't mean much cos I don't know what the R33's rev like but at 7000rpm mine absolutely sings. Haven't tried taking it higher though.

The turbos for the R33 and R34 bolt on exactly the same. I assume they have exact power comparisons. After my turbo blew I was looking at a rebuild but after alot of frigging around I just brought an R34 turbo yesterday and I get the car from the performance shop today. I will post in the next few days with any differences (if any) I notice with the new turbo and hopefully some dyno sheets to compare

Hit the rev limiter on me GTT for a short time.. oops.. :| But friend of mine reckons its a very sweet sound.. :)

As to the original post.. not sure about the exact diff between the two turbos.. but was told that the standard R34 turbo can take 1bar normally no problem. Tho cant say I'm gamed to do it atm. :(

Hrmm.. 0.7 bar.. what does that read on the standard boost gauge? Think mine is running approx. that, on my boost gauge the needle goes over ~2/3mm after the indicater between the 0 and 1+ :) (On boost that is) The turbo seems fine, cause I usually drive with more than just a few squirts.. :(

Ppls,

Skylineboy: Titanium wheels? Yes, F1 turbos used to have these. Obvious advantages, and obscene costs.

I've raised my boost upto the factory boost cut point on my R34 (a touch below of course) and and have had zero problems thus far (* frantically knocking on wood *).

I bounce off the rev limiter quite often. The factory tacho in the dash just isn't fast enough and first gear often sees me hit the limiter. oh well, that's what its there for!!

BASS OUT

The S2 R33 GTS25t type-m has a turbo charger made by hitachi, and it's had a ceramic compressor wheel.

    • Small update for the day... Turns out the intercooler and engine coolant hose kits are anything but complete....I probably should have counted better but it only really covers about half the coolant hoses in the car, it really just covers the visible stuff and pretends everything else doesn't exist (turbo water feed and returns and also heat exchanger lines through the 2 pumps and cooler) .In any case, I'm happier to have half reliable hoses than none, but a bit of a disappointment. Anyway...finger click (and 5 hours).....hoses in place, lots of spring clamps replaced with screw clamps, and engine coolant is on the pressure tester for the night.   Incidentally, upsized header tank is an Inifiniti factory option....not sure I'll ever do prod car racing in this but at least it is legal.
    • Just weld it onto the hot pipe. If you want it right after the turbo, put it right after the turbo. Or rip the comp cover off and drill and tap a hole into it.
    • hahaha glad I can rely on you two to go on a spiral at the drop of a problem! Some quick answers....the ducting is excellent top bottom and sides....everything that gets in goes through the coolers (noting the oil cooler redirects it out again, fair call if it is cooling 120o+) and the heat exchanger for the intercooler also has some scoops to pick up more than it's fair share too. I can't see going down the water spray track....no bueno for formal racing and a big risk for long rally days if you run out (plus I'm not clear if it is allowed there either yet).   Frankly, it must be possible to reliably put 400kw through a standard front end, the BMWs do it so I just need to work it out....I'm starting with reducing blockages in the way and adding some coolant capacity with a bigger header tank, flushing rad and making sure it was filled/bled properly (I didn't do the last coolant change); also taken measurements incase next step is a bigger/higher capacity custom radiator
    • wow, a completely stock GTR! I've got to admit, I have no idea from what you are describing....do you have  any idea where the "thump" comes from, and are you certain it is the HICAS light not something else like the cat overheat light?
    • nice work, welcome to the world of CAD! fabricating accurately in 3 dimensional space is beyond me....I almost always end up making something more than once...sorry I mean I extensively use prototyping
