All the R32 onwards turbos are ball bearing. I'm fairly sure the NICS engines have bush bearing and some of the ceffys.

R34 has bigger wheels and bigger turbine housing. Compressor of R34 turbo is the same as R33 S2. Fairly sure turbine is the same aswell.

hymm i figured all R3X turbos are Ball Bearing. AFAIK.

But i can be wrong. The R34 turbo is much better, better trim wheels and so forth.

YOU gona sell the housing to me? LOL.

yeah mate, im still trying to find the exh housing as the 34 turbs was at a mates house and he got bored :P

yah the only real diff between 33 (s2) and 34 turbo is one has a plastic comp wheel the other a steel

so its normal to be ball bearing(r32 turb), thanks for that :)

Nope, R33 S1 has alloy compressor wheel, R33 S2 has nylon and it is the same as the R34 compressor. Blades are oriented the same as the R34 one, same wheel. R33 S1 has blade oriented differently

nope, 33 s1 has alloy yep, 33 s2 has nylon yep , 34 definately either alloy or steel. i put a s2 turbo on my old 32 (hence why i have a 32 turbo lying around), i bought a 34 turbo before i bought the 33 turbo to put on the 32 but was shafted as the 34 turbo was missing the exh wheel :dry: and a friend of mine pulled their s1 turbo off their 33 to get it high flowed or whatever so we had all three together at the one time. all three comp wheels are different :O

Hmm, I posted this topic in forced induction a while ago and the conclusion was that R34 had the same compressor as R33 S2. I also had Cubes send me some photos of an R34 turbo and it looked identical to my R33 S2 and everyone is very certain that R34 compressor is nylon like R33 S2. Happy to be corrected if it's not true, but we'll have to pass the message onto a lot of other people too

    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
