Ok guys, just pulled my turbos off (no jokes pls!!!).. There pretty laggy, I got them with my 26, stated as having STD turbos on it.. so a bit of a win I guess..

CHRA has 14411-06U00, which is apparently r32 gismo turbo's, thus explaining why they're laggy...!

Now the thing I don't understand is the nismo's are meant to have a 0.42 compressor, but these are 0.6 like on the GT/le mans nismo's, but the CHRA doesn't show 14411-rs581 as per the lemans turbos.

Confused.. Any help appreciated, would also like to know their max power and efficiency range.

Also, have stock bottom end, nismo 555cc's, microtech, walbro, etc.. If that helps

Thx, Chris.

Thanks mate, unfortunately those are the main sources of my confusion.. Why does that chart say my turbos should be .42 compressor when mine are .60?

The gtr.co.uk site doesn't answer that guys first question, ie what are they.

am I just to assume mine are gismo GT/Lemans turbos even tho it doesn't have rs581 on the CHRA?

also before anyone gets in with "these are poor design, 15 years old, bush bearing, etc" I know already, but unfortunately for the old RB, this is what she's stuck with for now haha...!

cheers paul - i've been running these turbos for 6 months on 12psi thinking they're stockies and that my exhaust was restrictive hence the laggyness.. good to know i can start to lean on them a little and start making up for that lag in topend power..

check my dyno sheet on the RB26 upgraded turbo thread - shows power vs RPM

EDIT: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t&p=5112467

i have a less than impressive dump pipe setup which will be sorted before turbos are reinstalled, and wind the boost up to 17 pound or so with the new EBC there should be things happening a little earlier in the rev range.

I've used this link before http://homepage.ntlworld.com/tbroom/Turbos.htm

But it's always been strange to me that all three of the various R34 N1 Turbos only produce 500ps as it says on the chart, I had always thought that there was a turbo that was bigger in the r34 n1 range, around the 600ps mark ?

you mean Nismo R1.. similar to a 34 N1 but flow more i guess:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NISMO-R1-560HP-BALL...=item2eaec141fd

COMPRESSOR:

- HOUSING: T3 (A/R 0.42)

- WHEEL: T3 (TRIM 55)

BEARING: BALL BEARING

TURBINE:

- HOUSING (NIJIREST): T25 (A/R 0.64)

- WHEEL (INCONEL): GT25 (TRIM 62)

ACTUATOR: REINFORCED SPRING, ADJUSTABLE ROD

MAX. EFFICIENCY: 73%

MAX. AIR PRESSURE RATIO (AT BOOST PRESSURE): 103% (1.35KG/CM2)

DESIGNED OUTPUT: 280PS(X2)

sell them (someone will buy them for sure) and get a pair of brand new ball bearing top notch GT-SS's or garrett equivs

the response you gain will far out weigh the current lag and lag penalty you have. specially on a bog stock 26

wow

ive checked your graph, that is horrible

bog stock BCNR33 on the graph below yours

looks to make its peak boost and torque spike at 113km/h around 4000rpm

vs your stock Nismo R1 or whatever they are which make peak around 5200rpm

thats horrible!!!

does your car have non 4.11 diff gears also ?

i dont think turning the boost up will help response

but freeing up the exhaust is always a good thing

but again i dont think it will shift the power band that much

your main issue is the housings needs lots of flow to wake up

you need aggressive tune, jungle juice, cam gears, aggressive tune and a good tune

if your timing and tune is anything other than spot on, youll pay for the penalty in poor response as your rears as much larger than stock

i reckon a changeover price to GT-SS or the garrett equivs (as per sig) shouldn't be too bad changeover price

you could probably keep the std dumps and still change the turbo's and come out on top light years ahead (in response)

ie

the change of turbochargers will yield a better response improvement vs changing dumps

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
