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...

    • 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.
