Hey all my first post!!! had a quick search couldnt find what i was after, I am curious to know how strong the ceramic wheeled turbos that come stock with my GTR??

What amount of 'torture' can they withstand??

And also what are some of your opinions of the ARC super induction box??

thanks

std ceramic exhaust wheel like the other gtr ones

it may fail if you go over 12psi ish

if it fails, it can kill the engine

So would it be better to leave on standard boost and save up for new turbos??

Say N1s or GTSS or garret equivalent

If you go R34 GTR N1's, they are pretty much the equivalent to HKS GTSS, different Compressor Housing and Compressor Wheel.

Specs wise is very similar, but max power output is approx:

N1's = 367.75 kW

GTSS = 411.88

... From memory.

WRAOWNG - Neg.

2860-7s ARE r34 N1s and 2859-9s are HKS GTSS without actuators (i believe 2859-1 are the same with the actuators attached or get -9s and use ur stock actuators)

N1s are not GTSS, they are 2 different turbos.

N1s are alot like stock but stronger as not ceramic, go the GTSS (-9)

Ah yeah!

Fuck, I over looked that on my turbo chart.

Thanks.

BTW there are 3 Spec of R34 GTR N1's :P

I just compared the specs and they were quite similar but the GTSS and -7's are pretty much inline ball with each other... Like you said.

GTR R34N1 (14411-AA403)

GT22 / C106 / 44.5 - 60.0 / 55T / 0.42 / T25 / GT25 / 42.4 - 53.8 / 62T / 0.64 / Ball Bearing.

Garrett 707160-7

GT25 / GT25 / 44.5 - 60.0 / 55T / 0.42 / GT25 / GT25 / 42.4 - 53.8 / 62T / 0.64 / Ball Bearing.

HKS GT-SS

T04B / GT25 / 44.46 - 59.41 / 56T / 0.42 / T25 / GT25 / 42.4 - 53.85 / 62T / 0.64 / Ball Bearing.

lol that i did not know!

post it up

34N1 (14411-AA401)

T3 / C106 / 44.5 - 60.0 / 55T / 0.6 / T25 / GT25 / 42.4 - 53.8 / 62T / 0.64 / Ball Bearing.

34N1 (14411-AA402)

T3 / C106 / 44.5 - 60.0 / 55T / 0.6 / T25 / GT25 / 42.4 - 53.8 / 62T / 0.64 / Ball Bearing

34N1 (14411-AA403)

Pretty much the same but the Compressor Housing and the Compressor A/R are different.

Stock R34 GTR turbos run around 0.8 bar boost with restrictor in. With boost restrictor removed they run about 1 bar. On the ball bearing turbos 1 bar is fine.

Problem is, most people think their boosted 'genuine' 60,000km gtr will withstand 1 bar forever... Only to realise the Turbos have done more like '160,000' km's after they go bang.

    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
