So, we have all had a talk about this but here goes again. I have in front of me two turbine housings. As the title says an R33 series 1, and an R34 neo. The R33 has been taken from Qikstagea's (Rob) - a 96' S1. And the R34 is mine - 2000 S2 Neo.

Will post pics later.

Hopefully one day I will CC the pair!

Anyway here are the numbers off them:

2IU is the R33, written in two places. Beside the flange that bolts the turbine to the exhaust manifold (on the inside), and the other is on the outer side facing where the dump pipe bolts on.

O96 is the R34. all stamped in the same place.

They are markedly different to look at! the R34 is about 5mm WIDER across its back and most of the scroll follows this larger profile. THIS MAKES IT SOMEWHAT LARGER THAN THE R33! I have not CC'ed the housings yet, but any backyard rocket scientist could tell you they will perform differently!

The R33 SHOULD encourage boost earlier in the rev range, where the R34 SHOULD build slightly larger power figures...

So, anybody done a back to back test of this?? I have pics on the camera and will post later..

Any thoughts?

the stagea is bit of a heavy old girl. Nissan knew this and built the engine slightly different to the skyline. Things like smaller intake plenum runners to enduce torque at lower engine revs & different tuneing and so on.

So with that in mind, the smaller turbine would really be helpful.I would think it should help try and maximise the torque curve. well that is if it is a family taxi!!

If it isn't a baby hauler, the larger turbine would help if you are building a maximium effert engine were every factory component is pushed to its end. like injectors, plenums, turbo and the like. (the dear stuff)

I would like to note that the numbers on the series 1 Skyline turbine arethe same as the stageaseries 1. Go figure! I would like to point out that the Neo engine gained hp over its older brother. Bigger HP was supported by a slightly larger intercooler and the turbine seems to to be the same. I wonder wot other small things they changed?? thats a whole new thread i think..

Anybody noticed that when nissan changed from series 1 skyline to the series 2, the compressor changed from alloy to plastic compiste. they have the same OD, but the alloy compressor is higher than that of the plastic unit. The Neo also has the plastic compressor. From wot i can see, the compressor housings have not changed from the series 1 skyline to the Neo in the Skyline or stagea.. hmm. Anyone got somethin different?

15kw. hmm. did the torque curve move around with the different housing? i'm guessing the smaller turbine run out of puff in the top end.. but if the torque curve was up early, then it would not be a bad thing. after all, how often do you drive your car at peak revs?

According to my experience, the s1 R33 Skyline turbo and s1 Stagea turbos are different, as are the numbers on the compressor housing. Also, in the shots I took, the wastegate looks bigger on the Stagea turbo, but this may not be the case, and I didn't think to measure it at the time either. The s1 R33 turbo was marked with 45V3, but my blown Stagea one was marked 45V4. The numbers on the turbine side were the same as what you mentioned (2IU).

(The s1 R33 turbo is on the left in both shots...)

Going by the information we've all shared here in the forum, the s1 Stagea uses an s2 R33 Skyline engine, which makes sense since the Stagea was released during the time the s2 R33 was being built. It also means it also gets the s2 R33's plastic compressor wheel. I blew a turbo just over a year ago, and replaced it with a second-hand standard s1 R33 turbo with steel compressor wheel. The compressor was in millions of bits, it completely sheared the shaft in two, and the turbine wheel was chipped on three blades. (Budget and time didn't give me much choice back then, unfortunately, so I took what was available and it's been fine so far...)

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
