hey i started installing my hks turbo 2day. i have pulled the stock turbo out compleatly.

now just by looking at the 2 turbos side my side i can see that there very similer. just a question on the oil drain? how did u go about doing it? i have a new drain piece but its only about, 2 1/2 - 3 inches long. can i just add another hose there and clamp it? also at the bottem of the new turbo the water out is smaller. could i just link up a braided line? where can i get these from?

any 1 who has done this installation please klet me know how u went about these last steps? thanks!

What a crock of shit. At least he's having a go, how the hell else are you supposed to learn. Believe it or not, people aren't just born with a spanner in their hand. Why even go to the effort of posting. What help does it offer apart from helping him to realise that you're a wanker. There a clearly a few people on these forums who might be able to give the bloke some direction without from telling him to go to a mechanic.

Not everyone has the money to pay someone else to do it.

Driftsquad: Sorry I can't be of any help mate, I'm sure someone will be able to provide some helpful advice. Good onya fo havin a go though.

Gday

Oil Drain - Yes just get some decent rubber hose that is exactly the right size and use that to connect the oil drain off the turbo and to the sump.

For the water line there is no need for braided line, its only low pressure water. Just get a banjo fitting that will suit the size of the turbo and the water inlet to the banjo to be about the same size as the line.

I just put a HKS GT2835 on my RB20 and It couldnt have been easier :)

Hey drift squad i also just put a HKS 2535 on my r33 gts-t for the oil return line i went down to pirtek and got a hose to connect it all togethor. The problem was the hose i got was to heavy duty and would just kink so i had to cut this hose in half then get an adapter to connect the 2 hoses togethor, this gave it just the rite angle to finish conecting up the oil return line. Hope this helps and goodluck with the install let us all know the results :D

hey guys thanks for the help! for my oil drain i used a silicon style hose rated a 300 PSI and very think... i though it would do the job?

i just used the standard rubber hose thats on the bottem of the block, cuz its got nerly a 90 deg bend. then used a steal bit of house in the middle and clamped it to the oil drain on the turbo! useing that new hose i brought! that was eazy!

Trouble iv had? water leaking from the banjo bolts! (note for any 1 attempting this! buy new washers)

after putting everything back together i turn it on... oil leaking from the feed line! on the banjo bolt!! so i tighten it up? leaks slower... tighten it again? leaks more! so the cars still at my mates work shop wating for me to buy some washers!

should have it finished buy tomorrow! then on to the dyno!

and for all the wankers befor! i dont want to take my car to a mechanic. i prefer to do all my own work! my car was compleatsly stock when i brought it, all work have been dun buy me! thanks!

    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat
