R34_Wong Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Hi everyone, I've been looking around the forums and have found that it appears all the ER34 stock turbos have been badged as 'Nissan'. I had a poke around the engine bay yesterday and noted on my car the turbo has been badged as a 'Garret'. I was wondering if this is normal or not? I've a 2000 model which Nissan did some cosmetic revision to anhd thats it to my knowledge. Can anyone confirm if the turbo in my car is stock? I'll try to get some pics but its so well hidden. Cheers and thanks in advance Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/259742-er34-turbo-identification/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wacky Dee Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 (edited) I'm pretty sure I read somewhere on SAU before that the series 2 GTT (2000 onward) had Garret stamped on the stock turbo ..it was just slightly different from the s1 (metal vs plastic exhaust wheel??).. same power though.

paulr33 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 i guess the question here is, do you have any reason to suspect its an aftermarket unit? i mean if i was selling a car, and it had a different turbo on it, i would bump up the price and list it with an aftermarket turbo, why would you sell it for a lower price, and not say it has a bigger turbocharger on it what other mods did the car come with? it would be fairly obvious it it had a different turbocharger fitted, not to mention the price how does it feel to drive?

Get some pics up of the engine bay... i dunno if the 33's had nissan stamped on them did they? maybe its a turbo of a 33. I dunno jsut taking wild guess... new engine? or origional engine?

benz_200t Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) from going around at shops that sells secondhand turbo's and some info from the net, The rb20 turbo has Nissan and 16v carved at the housing for the rb25's, also has the Nissan and 45v* as there are many models that i have seen/found. 45v1,45v2,45v3,and 45v4 the v1 came from VG30 engines v2 and v3 comes from the rb25det r33 (not sure S1/S2) v4 came from R34 gtt's. most of the V4 turbo's that i have seen has steel fin compared to the plastic/ceramic fin from early models. thus can boost higher.... anybody can confirm my finding?

R34_Wong Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 Had the car checked out at RE Customs and it is indeed an aftermarket Garrett unit. Has the Garrett stamp on it with from what I can make out, AR.64 I'm due for a follow up booking to dismantle the unit and find out more about the item before conducting a retune upon identifying if there are more supporting mods (Injectors, Pump, etc). Yay for me! Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/259742-er34-turbo-identification/#findComment-4818431 Share on other sites More sharing options...

simpletool Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Actually I read a thread from Thailand (if I remember correctly) anyway, there was strong agreement that there are 3 series of turbos on the R34 - the series 3 had a garrett stamped turbo with steel wheels that had different compressor housing and compressor wheel (all a couple of mm larger). One guy was discussing how he managed to find one at auction in Japan and put it on his R33. So it seems the garrett turbo was stock for the last series (which they didn't sell many of) If you google search you should be able to find it - somewhere.

R34_Wong Posted September 11, 2009 Author Share Posted September 11, 2009 We shall soon find out thanks for the information though. Hopefully Ray can look at it a bit further and let me know what he believes the inner workings are.
