Here is the link to ebay for a internal rebuild kit for your stock rb26dett turbo to n1 turbos. http://cgi.ebay.com/Turbo-N1-U...94f98

I was thinking of getting them but I wanted to see if anyone knows anything about them or has heard anything? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for looking

All you are doing here is rebuilding the turbos with steel wheels. You are not converting your turbos to N1s because true N1s have larger compressor and turbine housings. I purchased a true set of N1s back in the day and the numbered markings on the compressor and turbine housings were larger than the factory normal RB26 turbos......

Thats all I really wanted for now any ways, really all I want is to get rid of the ceramic wheels for the steel ball bearing. I'm just curious on how this kit or others like it perform, I just dont wanna find out that there is a wrong measurement that is going to demolish my turbos.

The rebuild is a journal 360 bearing not ball bearing.

I would stay off ebay for any special turbo rebuild kits myself.....stock rebuild fine but complete kit with wheels I would not.

Yeah I think I'm just going to wait and get the actual N1 turbos, If anyone has a set for a good price let me know.

The "lemans" R34 N1's are rated at like 650 for a pair IIRC.
