hey guys,

i have had a search. where does the water return line go to from the turbo, i know it runs behind the block but where does it actually go into the block. im putting a gt3040 on and need to know as i need to make up some new water lines. and how much pressure runs through there.

the water return is the lower fitting on the right hand side of the pic , at the end of the chain and has white dots on it...

the one above it is the feed.

oh ok, RB25 water feed comes out of the back of the plenum into a rubber hose for about 100mm, then into the steel line you see in the pic from my last post.

as it is done there, just use a rubber or braided line onto that and to what ever fitting is on the turbo...

putting a hose on there with a hose clamp is fine for water, i did that for a gt28rs on a sr20 and it worked fine.. even double hose clamp it if makes u sleep better at nite

enzed told me that u cant do it with oil but cos the pressure will come up under the hose clamp and make the hose slip off..

i had the 100mm hose break on me, so you might wanna look into replacing it anyway.. only took me 20-30 mins to do, but yeah, lose some skin off the old knuckles. :)

you could undo the 10mm bolt that holds the metal pipe onto the head if you want, then have that steel line stretched at the end to create a bead for the hose if you want...

The feed actually comes straight from the back of the waterpump, and runs through the plenum and around the block and to the turbo. If you ever get an aftermarket plenum like a greddy item, you need to plumb the waterfeed straight from back of pump and run it to the turbo.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
