I asked this on the Canada forum but I thought I should ask this here aswell:

I'm hoping someone has some experience with this...

I have a pair of R34 N1 turbos (14411 AA402), one in great condition and one that is very tight. No damage on the compressor wheel or turbine. I was looking at replacing the CHRA on the tight turbo but prices are outrageous and to be honest I'm unsure that I can find the right part. However, I also have a pair of regular R34 GTR turbos (14411 AA300) that are both in great condition. I am wondering if it is possible to use one the CHRAs from the regular R34 GTR tubos and replace the turbine/compressor wheel from the N1 turbos. Does anyone know for sure if this is possible? If it's possible it sure would be great lol.

Thanks in advance.

CHRA: 14411

It's the same. So of course it is possible...

However you are going to put steel wheels onto a 10yr+ old cartridge. In all honesty that's an absolute waste of time.

Going to all the effort to change turbos and then having two in varying condition on the motor...

And ole saying the poor man pays twice rings very true here. If just one fails you are going to spend more than you would have initially.

I dont think that is the CHRA number because if so then the oem R32/R33, Nismo R32/R33 etc would have ball bearing cores too as they carry this same 5 digits at the beginning of the number.....and we all know for a fact they are journal

I think the chra is the other number under this number on the tag...???

Thanks for the replys.

The reason I'm doing this is because I'm doing a major engine rebuild and couples with some other things I have going on right now new turbo(s) arn't in the budget right now. Within the next year I hope to have new turbo(s).

Don Dada is correct that all the GTR turbos started with 14411.. So, I'm not sure that could be the CHRA number. Although, it sure would be great if it was haha.

I think the ball bearing Garretts are turbo number 702987-3 with cartridge number 446179-42 . They seem to be an OE spec turbo , well wheels anyway , and the thing to know is if their turbines are ceramic .

Im in a similar situation except mine are hks

First thing you have to figure out would be if garrett sell N1 chra's. Easier said then done. Matching wheel size's is one thing, profile is another.

You cant really ring someone up as I doubt they will know for sure.

If you use turbos that are slightly different it could surge.

You may or may not be able to get the turbo rebuilt. As far as I know Garrett Australia can balance them but rebuilding it seems costly and

most companies will suggest replacing the core. If it doesnt spin easily, it might be the bearing, but could also have damaged the shaft.

Best bet would be to send your turbo away and get them to quote on repair and let them know what it is and that its a PAIR. You might

get lucky and after they strip it and balance it could come up good (debris in bearing etc). Its a gamble cos it could come back stuffed

and you still need to pay for labour

Or you could look for another R34 N1 turbo

Or you could sell the one good one you have to recoup some losses and buy another pair

      We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning.

      Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
