Ok so before u go sayin shit.. ive looked around the search here and i cant really find what im after.. as the topic title says, i wanna know what model the standard turbo is on an R33 GTS-T. im lookin at purchasin one in the near future but currently am pricing things out and the turbo would b the first to go.. id want one with the same specs as the standard if i could just for peace of mind as i tend to like to "punch" the accelerater in my current ride.. ive looked everywhere on the web for the specs of the turbo but all ive found is that they are a ceramic turbo that can crack under high temps and hard drivin.. anything in regards to this is helpful cos i have always had a soft spot for the skyline and now it seems im able to do it

assuming R33 as its the most common

0.50 a/r compressor (ish)

0.60 a/r exhaust side (ish)

plastic/nylon compressor wheel

ceramic exhaust wheel

ball bearing

oil cooled

water cooled

it fails due to excessive heat and shaft speed. excessive heat from a poor tune or "too much boost" from the user being a stupidhead and trying to squeeze that extra psi or two into it.

it can also fail from excessive shaft speed which creates heat/friction from running massive amounts of boost. recommended rebuild interval i think is 100,000kms
