Oh dear....

I;ve finally got all my lines sorted and going to clamp back onto the original water line that runs around the back of the engine.

But i gave it a bit of a bend to get into position and heard a crack on the first support screw.

I don't know if just the plastic cracked in the support bracket or if the metal pipe is stuffed.

Anyway, I'd like to see what some other people did for running that shit of a hose aound the back.

Has anyone replaced the whole line with something...and how?

THanks guys.

What a coincidence...i just got my hks 2535 on today too...that line at the back was a pain and was the only line that did not come with my turbo...what the turbo did come with was a barbed nozzle pointing towards the back of the engine...i was desperate to get the car running and with all the shops closed i had to go bush mechanic style on the thing...i got some high temp rubber hose and squeezed it onto the barbed nozzle and secured it with a hose clamp...i then chopped off about 20cm of the hard line and pushed the hose over the hard line and secured it with 2 hose clamps to stop leaks...its dodgey i know but i had to get it running...i'll probably try to get a proper braided line made up sometime soon as that hose is only rated to 150 degrees and probably won't last long...

If you come up with some other solution to that please let me know...cheers...

Hey Limpus,

Have a look at the photos at the bottom of this page.

I had one made up too by Pirtek and trying to wiggle it in.

I think that hose might be ok as i tested bending the piece i chopped off and i doubt it would have made that crack noise.

If you get some heat wrap for your rubber hose you might be ok.

They all seem to have rubber hose on em anyway in kit form.

Mine had old rubber hose sliced off for an easy removal

Was that rubber hose for the coolant feed or for some other feed/drain line...my issue is that my hose sits very near to the dump pipe which we all know gets REALLY hot...

i installed my gt2535 not long ago, and all i done was use the standard oil and water lines, chopped them shorter, and whichever ones were easy to take off the engine block i did....

then took it to pirtek along with the turbo (had the rubber hoses comming off it for water and braided line for oil IN) and got the dood to work out the best way of making a connection from a solid line to a hose...

he used an olive and coupling join and it worked awesome, no leaks or nothing, and cost me $28 for the 1 fitting for oil, and 2 for water.. (oil OUT i used the stock pipe and hose...

good luck with it all, if u need a pic on how my joins were done let me know

I have had to get all my lines remade...for some reason when installing my HKS 2520 none of the lines or banjo bolts fitted :( I knew laurels ran a slightly different turbo but everthing was way off...

So i got braided lines made up... Used this fitting for the water line at the back of the block (first picture)...

dont forgot to post up your results once shes installed pls :)

ive got a 2535 also and im curious to compare cause my setup seems abit laggier than i was expecting

It's all in and running, my original post was a false alarm as there are NO leaks anywhere :)

Took it for a spin, and like you said it's definatley laggier by a long shot.

BUT....someone else said (in another thread somewhere) once you're tuned up and been driving around for a week, you forget about the laginess.

Can't wait to tune and boost up....feels nice now but the potential is there and will be great :)

Also, knock levels have dropped significantly which is fantastic

Maybe just cause everything has been re-fitted nice and snug.

And the original exhaust/turbo gasket was perished and dropped into 4 bits on removal which would have accounted for ALOT of engine noise which i could hear from the cabin.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      By RP1421 · Posted

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
