45v2 turbo on 21u rear housing

Hey guys just looking over my engine bay and remember reading a thread about all the 45v turbos and what the numbers mean.

i got given a spare turbo with the car when i bought it and was told it had a gtr turbo on it, (i knew next to nothing about turbos as this is my first turbo car), but i still didnt beleive him straight away as he had less teeth in his head than a toddler. 

but looking at the two turbos, the one on my car now is 45v2 on a 21u rear housing,

and the spare is a 45v1 on the op6 rear housing.

just wondering if anyone knows why it would have been swapped around (as i can gather). 

and should i change it back so that its running the 45v2 neo turbo on the op6 rear housing?

picking your brains as im not all the smart with this stuff.

cheers in advance

Don't forget GTRs have two turbos so each will not be massive. If all your stuff is stock it will be old and worn. If you can have the car off the road for a bit get Hypertune to do you a rebuilt turbo - either near stock if you want or more power if that's your goal.

Yeah i would like to get my turbo highflowed someday soon, but the question is. When i send it in, should i pull the 45v2 compressor housing off and put it with the op6 rear housing or is it better with the 21U rear house, any advantages or disadvantages with either combination. Or should i just call hypergear and ask them what they would reccomend, as its them that will be doing the work?

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
