Dont the R34 turbos have nylon turbine wheels hence can only run 10psi max?

Thanks

It's not about the compressor wheel. The exhaust wheel goes.

Also my cat was not damaged at all and although I did drive home it was blowing a truckload of smoke so I guess some seals got broken when the wheel let go.

The R33 turbos have the same ceramic exhaust wheel as the R34 ones.

From what I read the R34 turbine housing is slightly larger than the R33 one. Do you think this helps the R34 turbo to shit itself easier due to more hot exhaust gases. Or do you think the bigger exhaust housing is irrelevant.

Would fitting a VG30DET exhaust housing to an R33 turbo be a good little upgrade? I believe this housing is the same as the 34 housing?

I guess its not really a good upgrade if you have to pull your turbo off to do it.

Whatwould you expect - 10-15kw gain from the bigger housing?

Yes, you can fit the R34/VG30DET turbine housing to the R33 Turbo, but you wont really pick up that much.

You have run out of compressor flow well before changing the exhaust housing will have any effect.

However, should you change to the R34/VG30DET housing AND get it all high flowed, then you can pick up some serious gains.

Do a search on "Hybrid Turbo" and you'll find that a guy fitted the VG30DET housing to his R33 turbo which has been high flowed and he picked up masses of power. 25 kw top end and about 50k through the guts.

BASS OUT

Mine came over like this

i throught it was stock but it pushes way to much kws

iv heard 800 up to get them hi flowed

wen they go in japan some times they will do this and this only

save any more problems in the future but does not make a massive difference in power i can just run high boost

Miller..so yoiu think yours has just got standard ize wheels but just in steel?

If that was able to dish out about 210rwkw reliably I reckon that would be the go for me.

Have to call GCG to see how much it is. 10 psi seems to be the max for the standard turbo and 8psi on the track. Even then it could shit itself it sounds like.

With steel wheels you could probably run 12-13 psi. ANymore than that I guess you would get hot air.

I have turbo back exhaust + hi flow cat

front mount with plumb bac and pod

e boost 2

i run mine on 9.7 to 10 psi max

i have an auto and on 8 i pushed 245rwhp easy

when i get fuel system, shift kit and greddy e manage with ignision harnes i recon i will get at least that

before i got a boost gauge (eboost) i would run mine soo high i would get computer cut out but i never had any turbo problems so

no 1 has looked at it out of the car yet

if it would not cost me i would let people see it

spools soo quik i mean i can do a power burn out with no brakes some times

    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
