R34 Stock Turbo Inlet And Exhaust Wheel Specs


Recommended Posts

hey guys just bought a second hand r34 hiflowed turbo off a bloke he said it came on the car when he bought it so doesnt know who hiflowed it so just tryn to find out what the standard inlet and exhaust housing wheel sizes are so i can compare it with what i have or any distinguishing features between the both of them.ive done plenty of searching and am highly aware that the standard comp wheel is nylon and all that just want sizes.cheers

yes i am tryn to find out if it is a hiflow or not buti dont know how big a stock turbo is so its hard to compare.ive searched and all i get is that its bigger than a r32 and 33 and is has a nylon comp wheel.

Well the rear is ceramic on a stocker - so it's not hard to tell at all.

And also if it's been hi-flowed, from the comp housing it's pretty obvious as there will be a whole lot of material missing when compared to a stock housing (google)

both wheels sound metal wen u tap something on them but a magnet wont stick to either of them which ive been told will not always work even with steel wheels.it has a number engraved on the front housing that says ghc 67209 which looks like its been done by hand.im greatful for the help r31 nismoid but i dont have a stock turbo to compare it to thats my biggest problem thats why im hopeing someone can give me specs off theres

Google is your friend mate.

First result from google image :)

If your front inlet looks like it's missing more material than the factory (below), then you've got a modified turbo.

Part of the hi-flow process is to mill some of the intake to the compressor housing, to fit larger wheels.

There's no such thing as "steel" wheels. Compressors are usually an aluminium alloy. Turbines are usually a high nickel alloy (loosely categorised as a stainless steel, but it's a bit hard to call these a "steel" when there is less iron in them than there is alloying elements).

Ceramic turbines are dead obvious and easy to tell from metallic ones.

Definately NOT standard mate :)

A RB turbo hi-flow really doesn't have "too" many options as it's a fairly tried and proven forumla

So you could expect somewhere around the 250-280rwkw mark on 18-20psi (PULP), and still maintain resonable response with it coming on around 3500rpm give/take - all of that is reasonably standard for the OP6 hi-flow (NEO turbo).

If you get the compressor/turbine wheel measurements of that turbo, people could give you a rough idea of the power and response it'll be capable of or at the least let you know if it's potentially mis-matched. As sometimes in the past people have used compressor wheels that are far to big resulting in a surgy hi-flow, although it seems most manufactuers have stopped doing about 5 years ago so chance are it'll be a good unit whatever spec/variation it will be

awesome thanks heaps for ur help ive been told and read that people recommend running 17psi max with a stock r33 motor cause valves and pistons arnt real strong but i would like 280kws but id be happy with 260ish.thanks again

Load of shit. As long as you have a good tuner, who knows what they are doing, then you can run more boost than 17 psi. How much? Well how long is a piece of string really... But many people have ran well over 20 psi through stock RB's before and had good results. How long the engine lasts seems to vary.

Make sure you get yourself a tune by a good tuner.

sorry my bad i meant 17psi safely for longer engine life.im sure i could run 20psi but like u said for how long.i have 155,000ks on my engine my car currently makes 210kw on 12psi with no dramas.do u think i should a hotter plug.currently running ngk coppers gapped at .8 i think the heat ratings just wat ever supercheap gave me .5 or 6. i just want the tune to go smoothly without any dramas with flat spots.

Well for starters i would do a compression and leak down test to get an idea of the health of the engine...

Is it serviced regulary.

If your going to put more boost into it, you dont want to go too hot with your heat range. A 6 or 7 will be fine. BCPR6ES gapped at .8 should be fine if your coil packs are all good. Or a BKR6/7E There are a few copper plugs to choose from. The most commonly used is the BCPR6ES.

Is it a street car or street/track?

What management will it have?

Boost controller?

260-280rwkW should be achievable in the 17-20 psi range.

It's all about being sensible.

Look @ the people running 300rwkw+ on stock motors. Slowly they are showing they aren't up to the test of time... No doubt over the next 18 months more will pop as there are a few more guys over the 300rwkw marker now and 20psi+. So it will be interesting. :)

Although side point, how many of them are actually over 300rwkw remains to be seen. Some have done 1/4 runes lately and been a good 5mph down, another issue all together that one really.

If you don't ever want to rebuild/push the envelope there are lots of guysing sitting @ 250rwkw and 16psi (with a hi-flow) and they have been running now for many years so it would appear to be quite reliable. Obviously every motor is different and you don't know the history but you can only look at this things on the majority basis.

It ultimately comes down to what you want / what you and the tuner agree is safe.

its serviced every 5000ks but only really gets driven on the weekends but every now and then i might drve it for a week to and from work which is a 1h each way up the freeway.i will be keen to hit the drags every now and then and maybe a few circuit days.

i currently have a remapped r33 ecu by toshi hes a great tuner and knows his stuff.his guarantee is if i race someone with the same mods and lose he will retune for free.so im gunna get it retuned by him.i am just running a turbo smart boost tee it does the job.im running r32 gtr coilpacks they seem to be working fine so far.

    • Time for millspec wiring, MoTec electronics package, Bosch Motorsport ABS, let's goooooooo!!!   Maybe as @MBS206 suggested, just swap out those stupid blue relays near the ECU plug.  
    • My only regret with the NC MX5 was no space for a spare, even a space saver doesn't fit in I do have a couple of those puncture repair spray cans, but if I get a large puncture, or sidewall damage, I'm screwed until a tilt tray turns up I'm thinking I might get one of those 4WD style of puncture repair kits that have that rope stuff and glue, whilst it will kill any hope of saving a tyre, it might help getting me out from some backwoods road far enough to find a actual tyre shop if the first can of tyre fix doesn't work I'm keen to see how your new toy pans out Uncle Duncan, I'll be moving to the Highlands next year, you'll need to shout out if your heading to Wakefield, whilst I've lost my balls for happy laps, I still love watching those that can
    • Yeah not sure what the warranty was, but it will be years outside it.  I've shot Link a message, will see what happens, I'm told their support is good. It is a plug in, so its a Link board in a factory case, very easy to access both sides of the circuit board by removing the top or bottom cover. To be fair the the Link, although I've checked to the factory connections and wiring specs, as we learned with Neil's car in the early days not all ECUs source power the same way. He'd been running a factory ECU with no trouble for years, but when we plugged a PowerFC in it wouldn't start up, just kept cycling power on and off. We worked out that the car was missing one of the 10a fuses "Electronic Parts", and to Neil's knowledge it had never been there. Turns out the ECU pulled its main power from that source not the same place the factory ECU did.  Point being....there are multiple battery and ECCS power sources in the factory ECU, and multiple grounds as well....not telling from the outside exactly what the Link uses (and doesn't use)
    • Now, thanks to sonicii, onto the uneven floor from a tyre sticking 100mm into the boot space. I looked into options to raise the floor to the level of the tyre, and ended up going Extruded Polystyrene (XPS). EPS is what I normally think of as polystyrene, the annoying tiny balls that get glued into a flat sheet but XPS is quite different, much firmer and doesn't crumble if you touch it with anything. I also looked at things like heavy duty seating foam but XPS seemed like the right way. I picked up 3x 1200x600x50 sheets for $40ea. Initially I was looking for 100mm sheets because I needed to make up a 100mm gap, but as it turned out 50mm was available, much easier to work with and made it simple to store the tools I used a simple 15cm foam cutter to make the shapes. With some practice I was able to make reasonably clean cuts but I don't think Clark Rubber are going to be calling me to offer a job. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/405092315205?var=675175481574 First layer in place, 3 dimensions are tricky! Second layer in place, bringing it to level with the top of the spare Cutouts in the top layer for the tools With floor back in place, nice and flat with 100mm stolen but no real impact on usability
    • Sounds like a good idea to me moh
