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!

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
