R34 GTR Vspec II Turbo's, are they steel wheel?

[OZ GTR35]

I have had lots of input but no one can confirm if my R34 Vspec II Std turbo's do or do not have steel wheels. If anyone can confirm this or if you have access to nissan statistics please let me know.

The rb26 is fitted with steel wheeled turbos on all r34 models.

steel wheels are only on the N1, you got ceramic.

[fatz]

1.6 bar should work it out for you

car still running steel wheels if you need new turbos then ceramic

lol

i thought so too.

Will this theory also work for my 32? Is this a tried and true formula or purely speculation?

[ferni]

hahah i can't see ceramic wheels lasting very long at 1.6 bar, not sure how long the steel ones will last for at 1.6bar

[fatz]

two sets of turbos and counting!

Poking yourself in the eye with a stick has got to be less painful and far far cheaper...:wassup:

i think so.

they are ball bearing though while all R33 & 32 are not

No actually all the factory run of the mill gtr turbo's (including R32 & R33) are ball bearing and have ceramic exhaust wheels, the R32 and R33 N1 / group A turbos are however non ball bearing but have the metal exhaust wheels. The R34 N1 turbo's are both ball bearing and have metal exhaust wheels.

Rev,

Thanks for yor input, but I have to challenge the Ball Bearing part. I have had my R33 GTR turbo's re-built by garret and I have a set sitting right in front of me, and they are not ball bearing, they are brush roller bearings (I think thats what they call them).

But thanks for the info on the R34.

yeah, the 32 are plain bush ceramic too.

But all N1 turbs are steel wheeled, the 34 are ball bearing, other n1 turbs are plain bush as well

[rev210]

Do a search for a link to the factory specs on the turbo's. You will find that with exception to the N1's the stockers are all ballbearing.
