Is It Worth Putting R34 Gtr Turbos On R32 Gtr?

[gtr fan]

Hi everyone,

As topic states Is it worth putting R34 GTR turbos on R32 GTR?

I know they are steel wheel , ball bearing turbos so thats a plus. You could also run a bit more boost than 1 bar as well right?

Anyone done this before?

Ive run them at 19psi without trouble on many cars.

R34 GTR turbos are not steel wheeled.

They are cermic - it is not worth it.

Plenty of people have had them fail, just like all other factory GTR turbos. GTRGeoff in QLD had a low km set fail @ ~1bar as one example - killed the motor.

You play the game of chance @ your own risk.

The R34 N1 turbos are the pick of the litter when it comes to lag of N1 turbos, but I hope you do mean mean R34 N1 turbos not R34 GTR turbos as the R34 GTR are ceramic wheel, except for the R34 GTR N1 and Nur spec which come with the N1 steel wheel turbos

Thanks Nismoid and Moodles. I thought standard R34GTR turbos where steel wheel. My mistake. Won't pursue that path anymore.

Thanks again.

however the stock turbochargers in the BNR34 are larger, the compressor is 0.53a/r vs 0.42a/r (BNR32 and BCNR33)

but the ceramic issue/risk still remains in all family turbochargers

short answer..... not really.

ok i guess what the dude means is swapping the

r32 gtr gt25 turbos

for the

r34 gtr gt28 turbos

if its for a lil tweak it should work but if its for big power you should updrade to a bigger set from garrett or sum

I have a set of R34 N1 (-7) turbos with aprox 35xxx km's on them if youd like to buy them. PM me.
