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

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
