Whats This Turbo Off?

[K-LESS]

Hey All

I bought another spare turbo for my R33 Gts25t but have discovered some differences. Can anyone help me in telling me what it is off? Main differences:

Spare one I bought is only oil cooled and does not have water feeds.

On Turbine side there seems to be more blades and the turbine hole is bigger

Compressor blade looks very different to.

Pictures are below.

Standard / Current Turbo Side On

Standard / Current Turbo Rear

Standard / Current Turbo Front

New Turbo Side On

New Turbo Rear

New Turbo Front

I look forward to hearing from you guys and your help.

Cheers

it is water cooled

looks like an r33 turbo to me. and this looks like the coolant feed.

both the compressor and the exhaust housings point towards an r33 turbo

if the compressor turbine is made of steel then it's from series 1 R33, if it's nylon then its S2 R33

Thats his current turbo

Check the numbers on the tag it looks like a old t3 VL ish

[Moodles2]

Noticed 45V1 on the housing, I think they're the VG30 turbo

[chiksluvit]

Thats his current turbo

you're right.. didn't read properly

that said, see if the new turbo has OP6 on the exhaust housing, if it does then its probably a VG30 turbo..

i thought the VL turbos have the wastegate flap on the dump pipe?

Looks like a old slide high flowed turbo.

yeah it looks like a highflow.. the exhaust wheel is noticable bigger.. and the comp wheel is also quite different. Housings looks mostly the same.

Thanks for the help. Will look for the numbers on the housings and post back. Does this mean the the turbine wheel is more likely to be steel than ceramic? Is there any way of finding out?

[HEKT1K]

run 18psi and see what happens? lol

if it is a highflow then yes it will be steel. Not sure how to check though sorry

[chiksluvit]

magnet?

[K-LESS]

Will have a look in the morning for the numbers and try the magnet thing. Lol nah im only looking at running like 15 psi max. still a stock block with just basic mods and only got a safc 2. Hopefully it aint to laggy or anything like that.Being that its only oil cooled whats the best way to ditch the water lines? Join them together or just remove and block off?

weld the holes on the bolts and screw them into the block without the pipes, problem solved =]

to me, it looks like a highflowed nissan turbo cause those wheels definately aint standard, especially the exhaust wheel..its HUGE

Without injectors & AFM that turbo is largely a fruitless upgrade.

In fact pretty much every turbo is, you need supporting mods for anything other than the factory turbo

Thanks. Yup I am looking into afm and injector upgrades. I have seen on these forums from the dyno results page of people running highflow turbos on safc's etc so would be interesting to hear from them. But am definatly aware and looking into investing in some injectors, afm and most probably a nistune in the near future.

Will post up numbers on the covers tonight when I get home. For those who want to know current engine mods are:

Full 3 inch Exhaust from turbo.

Apexi Pod Filter

Front Mount Intercooler

SplitFire Coil Packs

Nismo In Tank Fuel Pump

Safc 2

RSM

Aftermarket Light Flywheel

Excedy 5 puk clutch

12 Psi of boost

Stock Turbo

38mm External Wastegate

Am Looking at making around 230kw at the wheels or so.

I have read and been told i should be fine with stock injectors and might just get away with the stock afm. Am still looking into gettins a full aftermarket ecu to gain full benifts even though some have shown that they have run highflow turbos on safc 2.

Compressor Housing has 45v2 on it and I can not read the turbine housing. I think it might be OP6. Tried to look for a badge of some sort to see what internals were used but could not see anything either.
