from my knowledge 45V something written on the compressor housing indicates it's an r33 or stagea turbo (same), as 16V something indicates it's an r32 turbo. as for the other number i dont think they're all that consistent...but i could be wrong

main way to tell is if you have a metal compressor wheel (makes a 'ting' when tapped) then its a series one r33, if its nylin then its a series 2.

As for r34's i think they're also nylon....not sure.

but its got twin blade fins on the wheel..

i believe its a series2 turbo

hence it saying 45V4..

series 1 are usually 45V1 and 45V2

the only thing im unsure about is that..

i was lead to believe that the 45V4 had.. "twin blade/fin NYLON wheel"

but im unsure on that,,

ca someone please correct me or say if im rit???

hmm nah i think u'l find it's a nylon one dude. I'll put a pic of my blown series 2 turbo with single blades if you like. I bet you'll find it's the same.. If it's definitely been there forever then it's not going to be a steel one:) The steel ones are twin blade anyway.

45v3 means jack squat except which casting it came out of nothing to do with type of wheel/model of car.

      Rusty roof repair

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Hot tip, stop picking at shit. Live in bliss instead   From my recent experience in rust repairs, white it may seem to not go much further back, you'll still need to cut back a bit further.  From what I can see there, the outer skin, and the inner is rusted too. From what I can see you've got the inner one which is all structural, and window likely affixes too.   If tag Murray Calavera here, but my phone won't let me tag him, he'd probably be able to give the best advise.   I do know, welding roof panels is a right pain in the bollocks! Very heavy to heat distort the roof and warp it all.

      Some of the filler.   Also if I look under the top flap of metal it starts looking good quite close to the edge. I get the feeling it doesn't go much further.

      Rusty roof repair

      So, I finally started digging at the bit of my roof that was cracking and bulging a bit. Well, it was just thick filler that was covering some pretty bad rust. I didn't find the edges, I was too bummed to keep going.  There are a few holes as you can see. There was just so much filler but looks like no attempt under the filler to prime or use rust converter, just slapped filler on exposed rust.  Anyway, I'm going to take the windshield out and find the edges. I'd love to fix this myself as I'm pretty sure it'll be expensive to get done properly. I was thinking I could just get a cut piece from another E39 and just weld it in place as it would be the right size and shape.  Thoughts?

      This is the territory of the "Stage 1/2/3 Golf GTI/R" or otherwise off the shelf tune with (relative to before) minor mods. It's easier now. Downpipe and Tune and boom, big increases. Stage 1 OEM+ is where it's at. This is where the niche evolved into and it's really easy to see why. It's rare to even NEED to consider changing turbos or going to aftermarket ECU's or building bottom ends for more power. Stage 1-2-3 will get you a LONG WAY. Civic Type R turbo GR Yaris/Corolla Anything with B58 (MKV Supra/x40i) Anything BMW in General Anything Audi in General Any turbo AMG RenaultSport Turbo offerings Korean Elantra N/I30N Ecoboost Mustangs Focus RS? List goes on. I would argue in the future it won't even need to go on... M3P is pretty rapid out of the box...

      There is a way, but it's not with the same cars. You need to find the same vintage of car, that we had. Realistically, that was an affordable car with aftermarket parts around. So what people need to find is a car that had a decent base in its day, and can be modified. They're looking for a car year make of 2010 to 2015 really... Aus could have done it if Holden didn't fold as V8 commodores were cheap, and if Ford didn't get expensive thanks to COVID, then you could cheaply play with FG Barras. Realistically, those are just a bit heavier, four door skylines. I'm sure the US and UK have similar cars they could find.
