Rb25 Turbo

[BillyMako]

Is this an RB25 turbo, it says 45v2 on the cover and has three bolt outlet.

And does the back of the turbo look like the turbo has a blown oil seal???

nope thats a rb20 turbo

[BillyMako]

Doesn't 45v2 mean rb26 series 2 turbo????

Its a late model vg30det by the looks of the comp wheel and the position of the nipple on the comp cover.

On the turbine housing there should also be an OP6 stamped some where.

On the RB25's good for a fairly easy 200rwkw at 12psi.

The turbo doesn't suit the rb20det's too well due to its larger turbine housing yet smaller comp wheel than a r33 rb25 turbo.

The 45V1/2/3/4 comp covers are all the same. They are placed on the R33/R32/VG30DET turbo's. The numbers are not really related to what turbo it is, to determine where the turbo is from you have to look at the comp wheel size/design and turbine housing size.

Do the vg30 turbos have ceramic rear wheels? Because that looks awfully similar to my turbo, which i have always suspected was an rb25 turbo...
