Steel Or Ceramic Turbine Wheels In R34 Gtr?

[R34 VSPEC]

GUYS, JUST WANNA CLEAR UP AN ISSUE IN RELATION TO TURBINE WHEELS IN THE R34 GTR VSPEC TURBOS.....ARE THEY STEEL OR CERAMIC?

Had conflicting info ...some people say steel...HPI articles say steel......others say ceramic.....maybe different examples support different turbine wheels?

i beleive that your last question is correct.

there are many types

factory, NON STEEL COMPRESSOR, Steel turbine.

Steel exhaust wheel but ceramic compressor wheel from factory? ...I guess running 1.2bars on these are a little too risky!

I've searched trying to find an answer to this question as well because i've got the same turbos, but from everything i've been able to find the general consensus is that the wheels are ceramic.

Yeah, I put this question to a few turbo workshops and some said to be sure...the dump pipes from the turbos be removed to inspect the wheels....fancy doing that!

Exhaust wheel is ceramic on standard or V-spec, as demonstrated when one disintegrated in my RB25DETT track car. Now have 25psi compression in 1,2,3 and 150 in 4,5,6. Boost was 5psi at time of failure. They can let go at any time without warning but usually just after being refitted.

R34 N1's use inconel which we use in the aerospace industry in axial flow turbines.

yes, trust me when i say listen to the people on here (like geoff) who have had first hand experience. standard R34 GTR or standard R34 Vspec or VspecII all have turbos with ceramic turbines.

Thanks for the insight guys...much appreciated!
