What are the differences?

***

from HPI #51, "RB26 Evolution"

Unbeknownst to most is the differences between R32 and R33 GT-R turbochargers. There are differences no so much in the exterior housings, but in the compressor wheels and in turn the dump pipes, which allow a stock-turbo R33 with bolt-on mods to make significantly more power than its R32 equivalent.

Both of these versions carry the handicap of ceramin turbine wheels though. Whereas 1.2-1.3bar of boost pressure on the R34 turbochargers is a 'gimme', the wise tuner keeps the boost under 1.1bar on the early models and leaves it at that.

It seems that no-one actually knows specifics...

but I hope this helps a little

I think it will be fine to use R32 and R33 GTR turbos together. If there are any differences in compressor wheels they would be very minor. I'm still unconvinced though that there are any differences at all. The "GT-R Owners Book" I bought from Japan shows the difference between all factory turbos. From the specs listed there is NO difference. Yes the dumps are different though.

That particular article in HPI #51 has so many errors in it. Almost all of the information about the R34 motor is completely wrong. Other articles lately have had wrong information too. Unfortunately, you can't believe everything that you read in a magazine.

Gary could you please elaborate on your post? :confused: I have little love for HPI on the whole, and would love to have the story set straight.

Did you respray it after you imported it or sumthing?

Without making disparaging comments about import brokers, suffice to say the description of the car was missing quite a few important (and obvious) details. I don't mind sharing, so if you are interested in hearing more, beam over a PM :P

Well here are a few things they said about the R34:

1. "R34 turbos are a spitting image of an R33 GTR N1 turbo" - WRONG

They are completely different. Different housings and different wheels.

2. "R34 GTR cams have alterted duration and lift" - WRONG

The cam duration and lift are the same for all GTR's. The difference in the R34 cams is the "lobe centre angle" (cam timing). Basically the R34 cams are like having R32/33 cams with cam gears set at 4 deg advanced intake and 4 deg retarded exhaust.

3. "R34 cams won't fit in an R32/33 head" - WRONG

They sure do. There are many people that have done it. The difference is in the connection to the crank angle sensor. The R34 CAS will not fit into R32/33 cams or vise versa.

4. "R34's have a completely recast head"

I don't think so. There may be some minor changes though. I know SK said they have different squish zones. Maybe someone who has properly compared the two can say.

5. "R34 blocks have extra ribbing like N1 blocks to avoid cracking"

My understanding is that N1 blocks are actually made from a different material to provide the extra strength. I have a photo with a comparison of the standard block (05U), N1 block (24U) and the Group A block. It's very hard to see any differences. If only I could read japanese better, then I would know. I'd like to see where the extra ribbing is that they talk about. As for the R34 block they are still stamped with 05U and I don't think they are any different. Plus my tuner has seen them crack before. Again if someone has compared the two properly I'd like to know.

It's just annoying when rumours spread and then end up in magazines.

Gary,

Does that GT-R handbook list the stats for the R34 N1 GT-R turbo? If it does, and you don't mind, can you post up all the dimensions? Just trying to compare to other options as per this thread: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=80624

Cheers,

Lucien.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
