Differences Between R34 And R33 Turbo


Recommended Posts

sorry to bring up an old thread

but anyone got any more info on the Series 3 (garrett turbo?)

max boost? etc?

Just found out mine is Garrett (yay!)

on a 2000 model GTT

I have a feeling that this particular turbo have steel inlet wheel.

Same ceramic exhaust wheel.

I would say that the boost and power levels would be close enough to the same.

I think on the series II R34, there was a 20nm hike in torque, but saem 206kw power rating.

BASS OUT

I wouldn't think so.

I'd say that there were either engineering computations that said the nylon compressor wouldn't suit the slightly raised torque, or they didn't want to do another build of the turbos because they were running the model out.

ya,, i sorta thought that too after i posted,, but guess i don't have to worry about the nylon wheel failing,, now only have to worry about the ceramic wheel failing,, :)

I thought that Japan had a max allowable output of 206kw by law, and everything was claimed to be 206 when in actual fact they were putting out more (closer to 220kw in series 3 GTT)

First they had the engine capacity restriction, until a clever guy invented the turbo, then they had a max power output to combat that. Next thing you'll prolly see is all carbon fibre or plastic panels to get a better power/weight ratio! =-D

the 206kW isn't a law, its more of an unspoken agreement...

its like in golf, how you don't walk on someone's line on the green.. there's no law, its respect for the othere players game

cf respecting other car companies overall car quality rather than just their power output

And on the topic, i have an R33 series 2 turbo with 45v2 on the side, and it definately has the nylon compressor wheel...

99% sure they are the same mate, differences between the RB25DET and RB25DET Neo are all internal not external, so parts like that should be a straight match.

Can anyone else with a bit more knowledge confirm that?

Bump. I would like a confirmation of the above, as I need to have my manifold > turbo bolts done, and workshop suggested just going straight to drilling+retapping them which will be expensive. My other option is a NEO exhaust manifold off a mate for cheap, low kms. Will it be a direct replacement for my s1 R33 RB25 engine?

Also, how much are they roughly worth second hand for below 50,000kms?

Thanks

not sure if its ba bf fg fgt

but I'm havin bad luck eit​her way motherf**kers :

The car I bought had bl​own the turbo and didnt get around to fittin the f6 one and bought an f6 car himself & lost interest.

​SO:

I got turbo all hooked up (f6), dump made, lines done then start up and oil in entry and exit of turbo and lots of smoke. FK

So I buy a r33 turbo for rego and cut/ weld its dump to suit and redo the lines and again FK I get oil out the dump this time... FK but getting money bak

So this arvy I'm getting an ​r34 turbo for reg, taken off a running r34 to upgrade. Temporarily I will run this until I sell/ rebuild & sell or rebuild and use this gt35.

this will be the 3rd turbo bolted to it in under 2 weeks lol.

Hi all I'm doing a little research as I'm after stock reliability for my track car so going back to standard Nissan turbo on my r32 rb25det s2 from my aftermarket set up.

 

read this post and others -

what id love to know is what is the 'best' standard Nissan turbo to use.

i recently bought an Op6 then realised it has the single blade nylon compressor wheel (45v1) and rear steel wheel (shown as have having 6 point hex nut). From other posts I see this turbo is good up to 12psi.

Now this week mate wants to sell me his op6 turbo for a decent price - this turbo appears to have twin blade (metal) compressor wheel and 45v3 on it. What boost would this turbo be rated too -

overall which turbo is better??

No OP6 turbo has the bit I bolded above.  Regardless, any Nissan/Hitachi turbo with either or both of ceramic rear or plastic compressor should be run at more than 12 psi.  Not that this is the "limit".....they're just increasingly likely to explode as you wind the boost up and below 12 psi it's a bit less likely than it is above 12 psi.  Some die at 7 psi.

Realistically, there is no such thing as "stock reliability" when talking about these turbos.  Especially when talking about a track car.  That is the place where you will certainly kill them.

That's how it looks when you run the turbo over 12PSI ..

Never found the turbine wheel I guess it went straight through the exhaust.

The compressor is nylon btw. (this coming off an 1998 S2)

 

Actually I was running this turbo at 14PSI for a while and thought I was lucky.

But when I went to the drag strip and floored it went on the first run :(
