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

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
