Ideas? On Lines For To4z


Recommended Posts

I am in the middle of my upgrade from standard twins to a Garret To4z. (Rb26)

At the moment i am waiting on a few parts like my Exhaust Manifold (6boost) Apexi PFC (greDDy) etc ...

As i live in a bit rural setting, every now and then i get a bit stuck with the certain systems i have never attempted.

My question is How have some of you adapted the oil and water lines to the single turbo application . Any Pic's or links would be fantastic!

I have tried to do a bit of searching about this but keep getting wrong, similar or off track in the threads.

Also i have read that the oil line to turbo needs restricting because it can blow oil past the seals... If so how would i go about getting the right restriction..

All else we think we have covered!!!

thanks ish!

Hi,

It's pretty simple, near as I can tell (I am in the process of doing this right now and it's not finished yet). You

can buy all the relevant fittings from Pirtek (they will either use Speedflow or Motorsport Connections to get

the banjos they don't have).

WATER:

There's a water line going around the back of the motor that tees off to the two stock turbos in a double banjo fitting -

I'm replacing the entire line as the fittings at the back are in the way of my exhaust + gate.

Tee off this to one side of the water feed on the turbo.

There's another two water lines that go to a double banjo on the block - I've replaced this with a single banjo for the other

side of the water feed on the turbo.

I'm not sure which of the water lines are high pressure/low pressure, but I don't think it matters. Put one to one

side and the other to the other.

OIL:

I'm _told_ that the relevant restrictor is already part of the Garrett T04Z. There is certainly no mention in the

documentation of installing further restriction.

There is a single oil double-banjo about halfway up the block that you need to replace with a single banjo fitting.

This banjo is (I believe!) 1.25mm pitch and 10mm - an odd fitting if you want a -3 outlet - I have to use an adaptor.

Use this as your oil feed.

There are 2 oil returns at the bottom of the block; block off the rearmost one with a plate/gasket goo (carefully!)

and use the front one as your oil return. The T04Z comes with a gasket for this but without the fitting - I am

going to make a fitting from a pipe and some plate as I haven't been able to find one.

Make sure you crank the motor without the spark enabled until you get oil coming out the feed line - _then_ bolt

it to the turbo, then crank a few more times before enabling spark.

You will need to get custom lines made up in the diameters and lengths of your choice; I'm using -3 in teflon/braid

high-temp hose for both oil and water. Hopefully this will be sufficient. Or buy a kit with the oil/water lines included -

I don't know whether they include banjos and hollow bolts though.

I'll add some pics to this when I dummy up the bits.

Saliya

i think -3 is way too small for the water lines, i always use -8 or -10. If your prepared to do the work yourself, you can always order all the parts from motorsport connections in sydney, They have an online catalogue, The parts will probably came top around $200-250

Hey,

you might be right; I'm just going on recommendations from my friendly Pirtek guy. Will look closer when we actually

go to make the hoses and post photos (should not be too long) and your advice is appreciated...

-8 for water lines is what i used and was reccomended, definately not -3!!!

oil feed is much smaller at around -4 or 5 i think from memory

oil drain is huge at around 3/4 inch pipe or something stupid >_<

restrictor is needed for hks t04z but im 99% sure all garrett turbos have them built in. (from what ive been told anyway)

Yeah, oil drain is huge. If you look @ the factory setup for the GTS-R like my car was (even with the RB25) it had massive drain for the t04e which bolted onto GT30 actuall, direct swap.

Its what i'd be using similar as Cubes said :D

Garrett turbos, the ones that ive seen (GT30 series)... all carry an internal restrictor on the cartidge itself. 0.8mm if i recall correctly.

I am unsure of a HKS model as i have not seen on in pieces.

As your goin Garrett, just check with the supplier... i havent seen a T04z apart... so i cant say 100% that there is an internal restrictor on the cart itself so it would pay to find that point out, unless someone else knows?

Make sure you use teflon lined hose for oil feed, -4 is ample. -6 line is what we use for water and -12 for oil return. Motorsport connections can supply all fittings. will cost around $300. will be able to see if cartridge is fitted with restricter as oil feed hole is phisically smaller.

    • Go to SP mufflers and get the muffler of size you want and make a nice mid muffler. It's about that simple! I have 2x 3.5 Magnaflow straight through Mufflers and while it's pretty loud with the Varex open, it's quiet enough with the Varex closed. You can also buy off the shelf Magnaflow straight through mufflers as well. You also have a turbo to quiet the car down too. Don't overthink it. Buy my extra Magnaflow muffler sitting on a shelf doing nothing (buy it new, ignore this part)
    • Centre-offset muffler under the floor, same as stock. Just....3.5". The change from straight pipe there to centre-offset will mean that you need to remake some of the pipe (add a bend or two).
    • Hey guys. So my R34 GTT has a custom 3.5” exhaust (done by previous owner) with a high flowing cat, and then just a Varex cannon muffler on the back. The car does drone alot and is really loud even on highway driving just cruising, as you can imagine due to the Varex muffler basically being a straight through with the valve open. As much as i love a loud RB, it can be a bit much with no other muffling in line and just driving casually. I wanted to lower the volume output on the exhaust a bit, as well as remove the drone (probably a way to do both at once), and was going to do it all myself as I am a fabricator and have done exhaust work in the past, so the fab work isnt my issue, im just not sure on the right product or type of product to use to get the job done, and i doubt an exhaust shop would be wanting to help me as they wont be making any money from helping me, unless they supplied the product? Anyway any help or guidance in best way to approach this would be awesome   Thanks in advance
    • Meh, whilst the Honda is a "really" good car and has potential if you want to drop coin on, it was uninspiring for me to look at, but, it did serve its purpose and is now in the boys hands, his happy, his girl is happy, as she wasn't to keen on the noisy old Patrol, and most importantly, the Minister for War and Finances is extremely happy that her "little baby boy" (6'2 nugget who is currently training to be a copper, which will make 3 coppers in the immediate "circle of trust") has a well sorted reliable car that doesn't guzzle diesel Me, I'm more than happy with the NC MX5 that I replaced it with, it's a fun little car that I like looking at, like driving, and yes..... I do like the fact that the maintenance and modifications that I have done/will do are plentiful and relatively cheap, well........ while staying naturally aspirated slow that is, and that's all I really need for a fun little daily, I can rev the 5hit out of it rowing through the gears and never really break the speed limit  In saying that wicked word, "modifications", I've already ordered something for some noise and an additional "3 ish" horse powers, or whatever it gives, in the form of a header, and, a new set of "cheapo" BC coilovers that are already sitting in the shed waiting to get put in, I had the same BC's in my old NB and found they were fine for the street, hwy, and the occasional track days I did in it, they have 6kg front and 4kg rear springs which is about 10% stiffer than the stock springs which I found worked well for their price  I've also already been in touch with MX5 Mania in Dural, so once the header is on it will get a ECUTek RaceROM tune there (I cannot rev match for 5hit, and I loved the RaceROM rev match and FFS in my old 86 "RIP") In other, maintenance news, I put some new sparkler plugs in it, and have a new set of DBA Street series pads to put in over the next day or so, I'm running the DBA street series in the SS and Honda and really like them, they work great and are not dusty at all I've also booked in a few days leave over this weekend to give me 4 days weekend do some paint correction and give the leather seats some conditioning and interior some Bissell and steam cleaning OCD lovin', the carpet and interior looks clean, but from my experience with the Bissell IRT carpet, and the steam cleaner IRT trim, looks can be deceiving I've also found that finding a detachable hard top is proving problematic, the main reason why I didn't like the NC initially was the power retractable hard top that I seen them with gave the roof line a weird look, the detachable roof though looks good, and is a same shape as a NA/NB hard top, similar, but unfortunately not the same as it has different fixture point on the front, so fitting a easy to get NA/NB detachable hard top is no bueno New Old cars are fun, cleaning, hunting and playing around brings much joy How are your beasties going? Do you still have the Skyline with the LS???, or Barra??? that you were playing with
