Hi All,

I really need help/advise to confirm what my current turbos are on my stagea.

I really don't think they are standard but whats the easier and best way to confirm?

I think they were changed on compliance.

I've got a little camera that i can more around or look at pulling parts off.

Can anyone tell if i was to get the numbers off them?

I've been running 14psi through them for like the last year and have another boost setting which seems to have gone to 17.9

I don't want to run that unless I can confirm that i don't have ceramic exhaust wheels

Any held would be greatly appreciated.

They won't have been changed "on compliance" unless they were special in some way and therefore "stolen" by the compliance shop. If they were changed under those circumstances then it is more likely that the only turbos anyone would put on would be the cheapest and easiest to get hold of - ie, std GTR turbos.

Checking the numbers on the cores won't help you at all unless it proves that they really are something special. Even std turbos can fairly easily have the ceramic wheels changed out for metal ones without the numbers on the outside changing. The numbers won't tell you anything in that case except that they may still have ceramic wheels.

If you have ceramic wheels, don't even think about running it at 14 psi all the time unless you like the idea of rebuilding the engine. 17+ psi would obviously be stupid. This is not to say that ceramic turbos won't do it - I ran my RB20 turbo at 17 psi for a few days once (before realising why it was going so fast!) and it didn't self destruct. But keep doing it and it's like playing Russian Roulette with 5 bullets in the gun, not 1.

Try to see the I.d. plates then Google them.

Otherwise, remove a dump and l ook at wheel (you would have to be very keen to do it)

Edit. GTSBoy beat me with more info.....

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
