Installing N1 Turbos

Ok guys, I just had an interesting weekend. I have finally pulled out the stock turbochargers out of my R32 GTR with my brother and I just have some queries that I hope you guys could help me with as I’m putting on some new N1 turbochargers and CES dump pipes (they look great btw).

Just a brief history of my car it has a chiptorque ecu, apexi air filters, stock inject. Direct clutch (single plate), HKS cam gears, and 3inch exhaust up to front pipes, and currently makes 230rkw on 13psi.

Ok for my questions, once I have put the N1 turbos and dump pipes on the car do I have to get the car re-tuned or will it be safe to drive?

Does anyone know where I could get my hands on some turbo gaskets for the N1 i.e. oil return gasket, exhaust gaskets etc…

Also should I change the exhaust manifold gasket as the one I have on appears to be in good nick?

I also have some 550cc injectors and twin RB20 80mm a/f meters, should I install them as well?

If so what HP/kw should I get roughly at the rear wheels after this has been installed and tuned?

Feedback would be greatly appreciated and I thank you in advance for your time and patience.

Cheer AS.

mate i have seen jim from croydons make 35o kw at the wheels with n1 turbos'. i was beside the car when it pulled this figure. once you have done the turbos take it back to get the cams dialed in and get the computer retuned. i don't think those 550 are going to last you very long if you keep modding the GTR.

N1(ball bearing) are a top turbo and as long as you got the system upgrade around them you should make 300rwkw with out to much trouble just be care with the injector normal 700cc are the go but 550cc will still make good power

best of luck

ps how are you enjoying the turbo change on the 32 (pain in the arse) hehe

']post some pictures of the differences between the standard one and the n1 turbo if you can. hope all goes smoothly!

AAAhh, and my bro started to get shitty because I wanted to take pics of the turbos side by side (well wasnt really the fact that I was taking the pic, just that I wanted ti align them properly so you can actually compare them). Here they are the pics.

Yeah I was pretty bitchy, but I appreciate it now that's 4 sure. These pics really make it difficult to spot the difference but hopefully the gains from such turbs will show the true differences soon.

Yes, I finally put the nismo turbos & dump pipes on the car and the car drives as if it were stock. However, the car now has a much more rumblier noise to it (very sexy) and can here the turbos spool up. Before the tune I will be putting on larger injectors (most likely 700cc) and replace my A/F metres with RB20 one.

My brother also installed my E-boost for me but is not correctly working yet.

Once the tune is completed I will post before and after pics of the dyno graph for everyone to see.

By the way does anyone know if I should replace my standard fuel pump with an intank pump i.e. apexi, nismo etc.. or with an external pump such as a Bosch 044???

Cheers AS.

you sure you didnt mix the turbos up and put the stockers back on? :alcoholic wouldnt that be a bitch

Nope, the nismos are installed!!

What he didnt mention that its only running 7.5psi. It you rode in it you wouldnt think so because it is pretty fast (it doesnt drive like stock as he mentioned...he's just to use to his old power output at 13 psi: 233rwkW). The nismo turbos have made a big difference because I remember the car running about 8psi with the standard turbos and the difference is quite noticible. Its probably making 190-200 rwkW at his current boost level which means at 17psi it will go really nice.

BTW his old turbos are going on my car... yes a twin turbo FJ20!

Cheers

      Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action

      Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand.

      Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
