Am wondering what the difference between the 2 is. My turbo seal has blown and an r34 turbo is one of the items in the cart. What would be the advantages of going for an r34 neo turbo as appose to another r33 series 1 turbo? I heard the r34 turbos have a plastic front wheel?? And ceramic exhaust wheel? Also heard the r34 turbo is bigger in size than a hiflow r33 turbo can anyone confirm this rumour? Any help on this matter would be great

If your car is a series 2 R33 then they are pretty much identical. The late R33 & R34 turbs both have a plastic (nylon or similar I believe) compressor wheel & a ceramic exhaust wheel, where as the R32 (lower flow) & early (series 1) R33 both have steel compressor wheels & ceramic exhaust wheels.

The plastic compressor on the later turbos was to aid spoolup due to the lower weight/inertia of the plastic compared to the steel.

All have will have the same problems with to much heat/boost ie they'll spit the ceramic exhaust wheel into the cat.

I have an R34 turbs on around 12psi & my biggest prob seems to be spark/mixtures

.

oh true, yea i had an idea about the plastic type front wheel minimising spool characteristics, but as for the size well was unsure, mine is a series 1 r33, so an r34 turbo maybe slighty larger but im thinking its not going to make a difference though.

oh ok, well regardless, the r34 turbo that im getting is coming in the package deal along with everything else, my turbo has blown an oil seal so it need replacing anyway, the engine is going to be run in for a fair while and not flogged so i can keep my licence so the turbo doesnt have to perform wonders anyhow. Just drive me from A to B. I dont want to lose my licence again

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
