I purchased some sort of nissan turbo last year for my TX5, and am not entirely sure what it is... It has 45V4 on the comp housing, six single compressor blades, a nut on the compressor side that is about 1.5 cm long (its a big nut compared to my old ihi one).

From what I have gathered on this site it is a series 1 turbo, but im unsure whether it has a ceramic wheel. I plan to run 17psi with this turbo, is it possible? Also I am aiming for 175-185kw atw in a 2.2L sohc engine. I have a fully rebuilt engine, extensive head work, large fmic, microtech, 550cc injectors and a few other goodies. Does this turbo seem up to the task?

Thanks in advance,

Nick.

In regards to the turbine wheel delaminating from the shaft, i thought this was a result of excessive heat, not shaft rpm. I have a 2.5inch o2 housing, meaning less heat/backpressure. also, i was thinking of richening up the mixtures slightly to provide lower egt's. i would have thought 17psi was a safe amount of boost to run. 14psi just seems to low. Oh yeh, the car will be running 7 psi for day to day driving. this higher boost level would be for the drag strip only.

45v4 is DEFFO from a series 2 r33 gtst and is (aparently) the most up to date turbo available on the r33's or so i'm told ..

be careful about running 18 psi - even if it is just for the drag, a number of people have lost their exhaust wheels into the cat just turning it up a little for the one off drag ...

you dont need LOTS of boost of decent power anyway, i'm only running 13psi and get 240rwkw

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
