ahh, so all N1s are R34GTR turbos, but not all 34 turbos are N1s :D

makes sense now :)

>_<

All N1s are N1s - not ceramic

All R34 turbos are R34 turbos - all ceramic

Each N1 had a different variant. R32/R33 N1s are laggy POS turbos,

R34 N1s are the same as Garrett -7

Ive run 300.5kw at the wheels for 7 years in an R32GTR with stock R33 GTR Turbos on 98 and 18psi.

This car is tuned much closer to the bone than i would tune a customers car tho and i now plan to set it up on E85. Ive never found a better power curve than this car at this power level with any aftermarket Turbos so I will not change them. R32 Turbos do fail very quickly tho.

Yea....There are different grades of Inconel so some might be attracted to magnets and others are not.

A better test might be using a multimeter and check for continuity ......Xkalaba you got a meter to check it out?

yeah i've got a multimeter, i can check the set i pulled out, do you know what to look for to tell the difference ?

R34 N1s and -7s are similar but not the same, they have different comp wheel and housing.

gtr turbos

all turbos are listed with specs here

Dont know if your meter has a continuity function but touch the two probes together and turn the selector till you hear a constant beep, then just hold the probes on two different points on the turbine wheel....If it beeps that means that the wheel is a conductor and therefore metallic

If your meter does not have the above function, touch the two probes together and turn the dial to measure resistance(ohms) till you see the display zero off, again place the probes on two points of the turbine wheel and if you see it zero off or you get a small reading it is conductive.

Similarly with either method above, you can touch it on a known metal like the comp housing and you will hear it beep or get a reading of almost zero ohms

Ceramic is not a conductor and will not give any beep or reading

Hope you understand

snap on, so it better have it

thats what i was thinking, but good to confirm, cheers

the N1s turbos have a .64 rear housing and the wheel is bigger to but you need a set of verniers to tell, some have.60 front housing

  • 4 years later...

Pretty sure he knows that part. Can u visually tell if the turbo is different from an N1 or the wheel is different?

Bringing it back,

Ceramics have a 12 sided looking nut on the end of the turbine which is one big piece of ceramic.

Inconel 'steel' wheel rear turbine wheel I have seen them with a 3 sided rounded nut on the end of the casting...

You can see it when looking at the skyline gtr turbo comparison photo on the world wide web...

    • I just got to work and skimmed through 61508 and 61511. I was surprised the CSA adopted both, but neither are enforced. To recap what I read, it states that in a perfect world, they should be segregated but they acknowledge that this is not industry standard and clearly mention that they allow mixing of safety and non-safety. 61511 also mentions software segregation like AB does in their safety PLC's.   Now if only I could go back to control, let alone safety over comms. In my current line of work, we're only allowed monitoring and basic control over comms. Everything critical must still be hard wired as much as possible. 
    • I've unfortunately never been as they're on the complete other side of the continent and another country that isn't currently letting us in as easily as they use to. I even heard their stop signs over there actually say "Stop" instead of "Arret". If I decided to trek the 48h drive, I wouldn't know when or where to stop haha. Whenever I order parts from UP Garage, I order from Japan as it's cheaper. Same with GKTech... oddly enough, it's cheaper shipped from Australia then it is the US.  UP Garage Japan operates their US leg though, unlike Tomei. If Tomei JPN had the power to close down Tomei USA, I'm sure it would be done in a day. They're two completely separate entities. Tomei JPN messed up somewhere originally agreeing to its creation and got sacked big time. 
    • I asked someone about this and he told me about the Audi 1.8T engine. But I think it would be difficult to swap
    • I don't know that machine specifically, but I'd personally go for something with a little more kick than 130amp. Around up to 180 would be good. At the 6mm range, you're really pushing the machine hard and don't have a long period you can run for with out needing to give it a rest. Lots of MIG machines come with a regulator and hose. A lot will come with a starter roll of wire too, but it isn't too expensive to buy. I'd recommend NOT buying a massive roll too, as you don't want it sitting around FOREVER in the machine between uses and potentially going to shit. For thin sheet metal, get a roll of 0.6mm if you're doing over 3mm and above, switch over to 0.8mm wire. Even by 2mm you'd probably really want to switch. As for gas battle, it's all swap and go style now. You'll pay a bottle deposit, and then X amount to swap for a full one. I think it's like $200 or $300 for a D Size bottle upfront as "deposit", and like $110 to $150 per swap. My D size CO2/argon bottle lasts a fair bit of welding on the MIG. And I run an E size bottle on the TIG. For DIY MIG, stick with a D size bottle. If you really start to get into a LOT of welding and doing it really regularly, then upgrade. If you're like most DIY car guys, one D bottle will last you 2 or 3 years easily. I think I've been on my current bottle about 5 years. It is starting to get low, but I've been smashing it a lot more the last 6 months.
    • SR20s came with cars like the Bluebird and Primera, but the RB20 never came. The ones in Turkey were either brought in specially or from abroad. That's why RBs aren't as common as SRs. And if a part breaks or I need to replace it when doing maintenance, it's harder to find parts for RBs.
