Are there any more detailed specs on the R34 and R33 N1 spec engines? e.g pistons, cams, A:F ration, cam lift and duration, redline, basically how much power they can handle on stock internals (safely), and stuff like that.

Can anyone please help? Because sofar im just getting basic specs and dimensions that aren't getting me anywhere quickly

From what I have been able to find the N1 engines have the following:

N1 block

N1 pistons and rings

N1 rods

N1 oil pump

N1 water pump

N1 bearings

The pistons are not forged but they use 1.3 mm rings instead of 1.5 mm

With the cams, the lift and duration is the same for all factory RB26 engines. But the lobe center angle is different in the R33N1/R34/R34N1. The duration is 240 IN / 236EX and lift is 8.58 IN / 8.28 EX.

As for what power they can handle, an example is the mines R34 GTR that until recently was using a stock bottom end and making 630hp.

I hope that helps.

kinda, are the internals forged at all or...?

Im trying to get a rough guage of the strength etc, and whether an upgrade to aftermarket forged sets like HKS or JUN forged pistons would be worth while etc

The pistons are not forged, but the rods are.

Consider that they are usually sold with N1 turbos, so in theory they should be rated to handle the max power you can get from N1 turbos.

I would say if you want more than 350rwkw it would be a good idea to get forged pistons and at least shot peened rods.

The N1 bocks are good for huge power and don't have the cracking problems that the R32 blocks can have.

so the rods are definately forged?

Either way, if i land an N1 engine, the pistons are making way for a forged set, high power or no high power (if the N1 pistons aren't forged), for reliability's sake

yea i found a place where you can pick up N1 blocks for a decent price, so i guess i should start from there rather than a full N1 engine.

So tell me, would it be possible to bolt an N1 block onto an R34 GT-R head, and get all the "performance gains" you get out of an R34 RB26 with the minimal mods?

If i get around to it, i'll be interested in slowly working my way up. Slowly modding up by getting things than can be used in high power applications but also add the nice power gains early on, e.g intercooler, exhaust, pod filters, ECU, cam gears etc

    • Ok i will get those 310mm. I found one but on a different site. This is the description on those...is it ok? Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
