What's up mates. I recently had a rear turbo grenade on me about 4 months ago while driving to work one day on my R32 RB26DETT engine. Well, I had a bloke that bought an RB26DETT engine from an importer here in the States. The engine was slightly modified, having wire taps on the harness, aftermarket FPR, R34 valve covers, etc. Anyways, I ended up buying his set of turbos from him. I was in the middle of installing them when I noticed something peculiar about them. On my stock turbos, IN A/R is 0.42 and the EX A/R is I think 0.48 if I can see my pictures clear enough. Well, the "stock" turbos I bought from my friend are different. They read IN A/R of 0.60 and EX A/R of 0.64. Side by side they are obivously larger, especially on the turbine side. Judging by what little research I did, I am thinking they are N1 turbos, but I am not sure, and if they are, I am not sure from what chassis, ie. R32, R33, or R34. I went ahead and installed both of them anyways. I feel like I am making a little more power at the same boost level of 13lbs, and it is of course taking a wee-little bit longer to spool. I have taken a few photos and I am wondering what you think. What are these turbos and what max PSI do you think I can run on them? Thanks all.

dude they look exactly the same as the pair of N1 turbos i fitted to my gtr,

check the spacing of the oil drain flange bolts,

the genuine n1's are the same as stock, R34 n1s are slightly wider bolt spacing, only 5mm but different.

Well, I used the drains from my stock turbos because he gave me his turbos with no components on them, ie. actuators, drains, line feeds, etc.....

Look at the plate in between the cooling lines on the center housing. There should be a plate with the part number. I have a set simular to yours. The numbers on mine are 14411-06U00.

Information I have found is these are R32 Nismo type turbo's with a 15 degree cutback and a 270 degree thrust bearing. They are supposed to be capable of about 300ps each. As for Maximum boost, cannot help you there. I do not think you would want to go as high as ball bearing equivelents.

    • @Ozdavroz Not going to get a better deal than that. Cash up front and ongoing payments. 🤑
    • I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed    
    • All I can say is, that's still bloody awesome! No plans on caging it I'm guessing?
    • It seems you'd like your Skyline to go to a great home, that can keep it as a beautiful museum piece.  I feel I can provide the perfect place for it, however, I'm not sure I can justify so much money for a Skyline that has only been crashed 3 times. Due to this and market prices, would you be against me buying it for $100.00, with $60 to be paid upfront, and the remaining $40 to be paid annually in equal payments?  
    • I did say no low balling (Insert copy and paste article from Motor mag with complete history of R32 GTR development and racing history here)
