Hey guys, i just spat my turbo on the 33 and in a mad panic picked up a rebuilt one, the original had 45V3 on the compressor housing and the new one had 45V1, and had the compressor fins in pairs. Does anyone know if there are any other differences between the 2, coz the new one goes heaps harder

Why did they change to the lighter nylon type wheel on the S2 and R34 turbo's then?

Not having a dig at all, just curious?

Two factors have a major impact on the rate of acceleration of an impeller:

radius

mass

Increase either of them, and the ability to build boost quickly is diminished.

Note that Blade numbers, shape, inducer size also impact on compressor performance.

thats the same as mine..

ive got a '96 r33 series2..

i can took a photo of my compressor side..

i got a silver steel wheel..

single blades/fins wheel..

and it says 45V3 :)

so wat the deal?

can someone please explain??

i read that 45V1 & 45V2 is on series 1 R33

and that 45V3 & 45V4 are on series 2 R33

am i rit so far????????????????

then i was lead to believe that...

series 1 have a alloy single blade/fin wheel (is it alloy?or was it steel?????????????) :D

&

series 2 have a nylon twin blade/fin wheel

is this correct?? :D

As far as im aware the "v1" "v2" "v3" means absolutely nothing except the casting number. It has no difference between the numbers. My series 2 had a 45v1 on it and i can guarantee it came like that from factory. I now have a highflowed rb25 turbo and it came with 45v3 on the housing. Means nothing.

Are you sure you're not mistaking it for the black nylon series 2 wheel as it does sorta look like a metal wheel... Unless your turbo has been highflowed otherwise there would be no reason to change that wheel. It's the turbine side that spits anyway there would be no reason for the front to let go before the back.

And the series 2's still have a single blade from memory...

For all intents and purposes R33 S1 and R33 S2 turbos are virtually the same.

While the turbo makeup is actually different there is minimally noticeable difference in performance between them

R34 has a slightly larger rear on it (better for hi-flowing) and does make on average 10rwkw more @ 12psi than R33 items due to this

ah yeah i don't know anything about gtr turbo's but i would daresay they dont have the 45v"x" and would have something completely different as they're smaller turbo's and there's two of them. Sounds to me like he's talking about a gtst. Please advise.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
