So can anyone answer my final question, Is the turbo on the R34 steel or ceramic? i was told steel but am unsure? Thanx :P

Nylon compressor and a ceramic turbine wheel. Been covered plenty of times. Use the search button.

No probs :D

Bear in mind the search function defaults to looking for posts in the last 30 days. You generally may need to search more posts than that (e.g. the last six months). Also read the "Advanced Usage Help" in the search page for some guidance.

For your query I looked for:

+r34 +turbo +ceramic

and searched within the last 90 days.

just did a bit more reading and am a little confused, there are 3 series of the R34, Series 1 has a ceramic inner, S2 has a twin ceramic/steel? and s3 has a garrett. Now my questions lie in the engines,are the ones with the Red lettering on the engine Series 1? and do all the turbos produce the same sound/power? i drove a 99 R34 which had the red lettering on the engine and was satified with the car as a whole,it had a Nismo kit and had the nice dials of the S2 without the two tone steering wheel??. Any help dudes would be appreciated :D

Thanks for the link :D , but thats the one i read briefly and got confused due to the different Series models of the R34. Clicking on one of the links gives 3 diffrent turbo's used in the R34 throughout there span, my questions originally were based upon sound/power created by each turbo. :P

      Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys

      Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels

      Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)

      I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.

      Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
