TURBINE:

Wheel = 53.85mm

Exducer = 42.40 (??? Can someone confirm?)

Trim = 62

A/R = 0.64

COMPRESSOR:

Trim = 56

Inducer = 44.46

Exducer = 59.41

A/R = 0.42

TURBINE:

COMPRESSOR:

Trim = 55

Inducer = 44.59

Exducer = 60

A/R = 0.42

looking at these figures, does anyone have the same list of specs for the R34 GTR N1 ball bearing turbos. I would like to see how the three stack up?

you mean on intake side? ie .60 vs .42.

That's what i was trying to get at as haveing looked at a set of R34N1s the other day i noticed that it has .42 stamped inside the compresor outlet, but another set of R34N1s i've seen has .60 stamped on the outside of the comp cover. So could there be two configs of R34 N1s? Both I've checked were ball bearing, both had the split in the turbine housing seperating the wastegate flow from the turbine flow. Both also had .64 A/R stamped on the exhaust housing. interesting.

edit: also given that A/R is not a size as such (it's a ratio) how much difference in flow/horsepower potential is there between the .60 version and the .42?

Yes :D

I have heard of this too, but never seen it with my own eyes. Maybe someone can clear this up.

yeah it's a mystery to me. I have definately seen both. the .42 ones are often mistaken for .60 as people don't look inside the housing for the A/R. where as the .60 ones are clearly marked on the cover. I would love to know what the deal is there, and also what the power potential of the two variants is?

edit: also the inducer and exducer measurements in the above 34 N1 spec are the same as (within .2mm) the SS and the -7s yet they quote a .60 A/R.

Bump.  R32 TT:  How's it all going?

G'day there Lucien,

Its all not going too well mate actually.

Got the car back together, had a few issues trying to tune it using MAP sensor only and so it was run well on the rich side to be 'safe'. Had it on the road just a couple of days and went down the Collie racetrack. Did only a handful of laps and boom.. blue smoke out the back and loss of power...

It would appear after a compression test that I have lost cylinder number 2.

Interestingly, since I broke the front stock turbo (which is what started this whole damn thing), and number 2 is directly in-line with it (ie the middle cylinder of the front 3), it will be interesting to get the motor apart and see if ceramic has made its way into the engine at all...

So, looks like I am off the road for quite some time. The bills getting it this far have been high enough. Doing an engine rebuild is just not affordable at the moment...

:)

does anyone know what boost level the actuators are set to on the 707160 series turbos?

i just got a pair of 707160-7's and it would be useful to know :P

Hi mate, mine were set at 8 pounds from factory. We reset them to 16. :)

Hi Mate,

Did you ever determine if ceramic dust was the culprit?

Hi Mate,

Hi there Lucien,

Actually I got the motor out over the break and its just been sitting there. Haven't got the head off yet - but will soon. I am making a "shopping list" at the moment... for the full rebuild...

<_<

you dont need to upgrade the actuators. Simply get a boost controller and bleed air off ?

True, but its better to set the actuators as close as possible to the boost you are intending to run. It will build boost quicker than a boost controller detecting, compensating etc..

    • In the US almost everything is E10. It can't exceed 10% by much or fuel systems have trouble adapting. At the same time because MTBE, MMT, and TEL are all banned they need as much ethanol in it as possible to boost octane.
    • I was mostly jesting. In my experience (and probably only my experience) the R34 GTT physical airbox space is actually too small to flow the amount of power it wanted. By sealing the box, I made it so it could only be fed by the ducts themselves. So you can seal it up and get nice cold air which IS good, but at a certain crossover point: More Hot Air > Less Cold Air I don't think you're at this point. In my case merely ducting the hot air intake with a very focused set of ducts counteracts the fact it's in a V8 engine bay. More cold air obviously best. The solution looks great.
    • Nah, the OEM CAI pipe is still installed behind the bumper, it is about 5" x 3" oval at the engine side, tapering down to a 3" pipe behind the bumper where it gets all the ambient air it needs Engine side of radiator support OEM intake pipe "oval hole" that is right in front of the filter My OEM NC1 CAI pipe: From NC2 onwards, below pic, they come slightly smaller at 2.75" diameter with corrugations and a resonance chamber to reduce intake noise, lucky for me my NC1 has the bigger noisy one, LOL   Basically, the "sealed" airbox will just get ambient air from a 3" pre filter intake tube that is the same size, 3" as the rest of the intake pipe post filter, and if a 3" intake isn't big enough to flow enough air for 150 killerwasps then there are other issues The whole intake is basically the same length as OEM, but it is now about 30% bigger from the airbox back through to the new intake plenum than OEM, and the intake plenum is port matched to the head And the intake is now about 30% bigger than my 2.5" exhaust, so the suck, squeeze, bang and blow black magic should be fine, well, to my uneducated understanding of fluid dynamics anyway Talking the the guys at MX5 Mania, it may even make a few more killerwasps as the intake isn't sucking hot air, especially off idle or when in slow traffic when it would be sucking hot air  As for the difference in IAT, I haven't logged IAT yet, as I don't currently have a OBD2 reader, but I will have a play with my thermal lazer thingie next time I take the car out to sèe how hot stuff gets under the bonnet near the intake filter prior to installing the air box, my "assumption is it has to be much better after the air box is in and sealed up compared to what it is now The aftermarket "performance" CAI elephant in the room: Aftermarket CAI intakes typically have the air filter tucked up behind the bumper, with a 2.5" intake tube (the OEM intake pipe is actually about 30% bigger than the fancy pants "aftermarket" version.....WTF), and you need to remove the bumper to service the filter, which is a PITA Like dis:    
    • Nice one, I'd argue that the white S1 RS260 is certainly the best looking of the Stageas. And yes, fully agree on the forum situation. It's a bit of a shame, but at least SAU is a good place to be. I found the facebook groups to give me FOMO because people were trying to one-up each other and show off in some way. Feels much more natural here. There are people with seriously nice builds, but I can appreciate it rather than it making me question my life choices. Might be that people are more open with sharing how much work/money/suffering it takes to actually get there. 
    • Evening, wanted to pop in and finally register to say hi to everyone here on SAU!   It's been a while since I've been active on a forum, but back in the day I used to be relatively active on ClubLexus and other hobby-related forums. I'm glad to see SAU is still around, since with the advent of Facebook and Discord it seems forums aren't what they once were. As a recent new owner of an S1 260RS Stagea, I've found so many older guides and helpful tips from SAU that I figured I needed to join and say a grave thank you. My recent acquisition has only become legal in the US for the past year, and knowing that similar car enthusiasts from across the pond have already figured out the kinks and tricks to get these 25+ year old cars running well. I look forward to diving into more of the SAU forums as well as hopefully contribute some info myself for future posterity.   As a pic tax, here is one of the few good photos I have of my Stagea. I hope to get way more in the future!
