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!

i don't know how to build a house... so i don't

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.

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!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.

      And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.

      No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.

      Ahh. Well the block damage is a problem, you really need to run a tap or thread chaser through it to see if the threads can be saved, but any chips are likely to be bottom end bound which is bad. Earls seem to have what you need if you want to stick with mounting direct on the block: https://rceperformance.com.au/parts/earls-straight-adapter-1-8-npt-male-to-1-8-bspt-female.html, but as I said above I'd recommend remote mounting the sender

      I'm not quite understanding or I'm missing steps here, (I appreciate people are trying to inform my brain but I am of the dumb, especially today) - All I want to do is mount the male BSPT of the OEM sender into the system somewhere without it snapping the adapter via vibration. The Nissan sender has a male 1/8 BSPT output. The block has a (very destroyed) 1/8 NPT input. I'm not really sure how a lathe assists with that, and also don't know anybody with a lathe, nor specifically what I would want to buy. I'm not really sure how adding additional adapters creates a better, more leak proof resilient seal here.
