Need turbo help!

I'm putting a 1994 R32 Rb26dett 4wd set up in my 1970 240z and and I have found another R33 engine Vspec engine that I can buy for $2600 US plus it comes with an extra set of R34 stock ball bearing turbos. I plan to keep the R33 engine as a back up and put the r34 turbos on the r33 engine. Is there any difference between a Vspec R33 engine and a Non Vspec R32 engine? Is there must to be gained using the R34 turbos over the R32 or R33 turbos? Also, what would a used set of R34 turbos sell for?
Thanks for the help on this?

There aren't any major differences on the engine but the R34 turbos are much better than R32/R33.

A good place to find more info would be www.skylinesdownunder.com

From what I was told, they spool a little faster. I do know for a fact that you can get more boost out of them. R33 only .9-1bar while the R34 1.1-1.2bar. You can always go more, but with them being ceramic I would not dare push them to their limits.

R32/R33's you can get 1.1bar out of them safely. R34's are steel turbos so you can boost them much higher than the 1.1bar but how efficient will they be after that is the question.

R34 turbos are not steel, they are ceramic and plastic:)

I thought the JDM ones were steel wheeled, and export had the ceramic/plastic.

The 33 engine has slightly more torque than the 32 engine, but otherwise the same.
