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...

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
