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

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
