Hi All,
Bought an r32 gtr 2 weeks ago. Its apart from paint and a few other things, so putting everything back together. I have a mint set of stocker turbos, but car came with r34 n1's. One is fine, the other needs work.
Since its ball bearing it will probably need a new CHRA. I'm ok with that. I would plan on doing both anyway if I had to for peace of mind in a match.
However, can't find much info, and everything I dig through says getting a new CHRA for it is not possible. I've been looking at the handy turbo chart, and it seems the housing is almost identical to the 2860-5's, and that the N1 is essentially a 2860-7 but with a 2860-5 housing (.60ar instead of .42).
So, my next idea was, what CHRA / wheels would fit in these. Its a lot easier to get the 2860-5 internals, or even an "upgraded" / newer technology wheels like the 2860rs' or the GTX2860 wheels.
Has anyone tried stuffing a newer CHRA design based on the same housing? DId they fit? For me the N1 / being a -7 with larger housing is an almost idea setup for a mix of the -7 / -5. I do LOTS of tracking, and plan on doing several days with this car.
Any input? Ideas? Luck?
P.s. Doing the CHRA balanced from Garrett for a pair still saves over $500 USD over just getting new turbos.
