I have a slight problem out of all things ive got air trapped somewhere in the radiator lines and as far as i know i need to find the air release valve, but havent got the foggiest of where it is, ive looked got service manuals and still cant find the bloody thing,

Im assuming the rb25det does have one aswell, but if someone can help me out that would be great on the location via a picture of their own, as i seem to cant find one on mine.

Cheers adam

F@%k is there a possibility i dont have one, coz i can not find one on my car, where its meant to be on the plenum, its missing, well theres nothing attached to the scew hole, most likely removed when the previous owner installed IC piping all i know is there is a brass T-Piece assuming that this might be it that has replaced the ARV hmmm now how the bleep am i going to bleed the air from that?

Any Suggestions

remove the small water hose which runs into the throttle body (just pull it off slightly) and, withthe radiator full AND WITH THE CAP ON, squeeze the lower radiator hose. While holding the hose in the squeezed position...replace the throttle body hose, remove the radiator cap then let go of the lower hose.

Repeat if necessary.

Thanks Dan will try tommorow when i can see

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
