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

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?

yeah! Me too! (my bet is they're all the same)

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 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..

    • 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.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • 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
