well guys,

Yesterday i installed my new turbo, (had hi mount set up before), but my cooler piping was set up crap, went behind the cooler etc etc. so i decided to redo all my cooler piping with my new turbo, now here is some shots, its only been tack welded atm getting migged this week and sprayed in 2pac silver, black or red (my mates a spray painter). just for those that wanna do it on the cheap and need ideas....

the other thing is my carbon canister is down my the in the drivers guard, as put there for compliance, now what we did is made the pipe run a bit furthur out and repositioned the carbon canister under the guard and it fits fine.

i will take more pics this weekend when its all complete

doesn't really have any room for engine movement in it by the looks of things.

i would have put more silicon joiners in the system to allow for the strain it will be under when the engine torques.,

other than that, looks the goods..

oh and maybe putting a joiner before that pipe that goes over the oil filler cap, so you can fill it up easy

nice piping install. mine should look rather similar as im using a similar size turbo and the q45 also. the piping over the rocker cover looks to be a great idea

how hard was it to find the reducers for the afm going onto the 4inch pipe? did you have an idling/stalling problems with that side of things (afm)

well....

sir racer...i the reducer from the turbo to the afm is actually one for a 4inch pipe to the standard afm, i already had it, so i just streched it on the new afm. i havent actually started the car yet, waiting for my cooler pipes to be properly welded (had the car off the rd for a while and bought a few goodies i blew my cheap t70 up lol).

munna1 thanks... its a gt3040, just had it polished.

morlock, yeh it will be a bitch but its trial and error if its to much of a pain i will just put a join in there somewhere...

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
