R34 Gtr N1's - With Fairly Stock Rb26dett Engine...will This Be Okay?


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, ive got a fairly stock r33 gtr rb26 engine, and have found a really good price on some r34 gtr n1's....and wanted to replace the ceramics with these as i know the ceramics can cause alot of pain to the engine if they let go!!!

Do these n1 turbos need any modifications to fit to the standard manifold/dumps etc....or is it direct bolt up?

Will i be okay running these turbos if my rb26 is not mofidfied highly?

mods:

acl forged piston (.5mm oversize)

1.2mm thick headgasket tomei

arp headstuds

3" exhaust

ARC panel filters

no other mods, and factory ecu...would this be a wise idea, i just dont want to ruin my rebuilt motor by keeping the ceramics.

thanks

yep it's a great idea. with 1.2mm gasket and forged pistons you could quite happily run up to 20psi providing you have the fuel supply and cooling and tuning to support it. :)

Ive got The r34 N1 Turbos Good Choice Perfect Street Turbo , If i was You But i would Get a Aftermarket ECU Apexi Power FC , Fuel Pump And a Good Set of Injectors . With these Mods and your Mods Car Should Run Great ...

Thanks mate, can the n1's use the stock dumps? heres the auction for the turbos, are these real N1 Turbos?p.s will these be ok with stock ecu for now?

i run the trust ones. thats the dunmps and front pipe in one (three piece)

very nice but anything is better than standard! tomei items look nice!

Cooper if your in new zealand your xforce dealer out there (who sells stuff on ebay under performance guru) has very very cheep xforce gtr dumps!

Does anyone know the diametre of the the pipe on the x-force dumps where the dump connects to the front pipe? And if possible the distance from centre to centre of the bolt holes on the same end? I need to know if the front pipes i have at home will bolt up to these dumps.

If the front pipes fit the stock dumps i'd say you will be right! xforce ones are copys of hks dumps.

this guy from nz is clearly the cheepest you'd find them! and i beleive he's nz's distributor for xforce!

Hi, definetly replace the dumps but do not replace the manifolds. The turbo's are not big enough to worry about that and if anything aftermarket manifolds will give the turbo's more lag. Iam running these same turbo's in my r32 GTR with an R33 engine and Iam making 314.7rwkw on 20psi. With supporting mods like 550cc injectors/040 fuel pump/power fc/turbo back exhaust etc

    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
