on my pipes it looks like the afm may have been in there b4 coz theres a black joiner bout the same size as the afm. its just after where the hot air comes out of the turbo and b4 where the pipe goes truough the guard. cant remember if it goes through the guard but it would b getting pretty hot air as its way b4 the cooler. is this join usually there, its a black joiner. i thought it would be best to put it after the cooler but the wire doesnt look like it would go that far. can i put it close to the turbo or will it break the afm from being too hot. i can put pics up tomorrow and u can tell me if it looks factory where the joiner is.

the point of all that was should it be after the cooler or is it safe where i said. ivew got a front facing plenum so my pipes come back through the drivers side so i dont rekn the afm wires will reach to put it after the cooler

yeh standard 1. ive got a good sounding blow off valve but will probably do this sometime and have a piece of pipe the same size as the afm so i can swap between it and the bov. i love the sound. every1 has blow off valves but this noise is unique. atleast where i live.

it doesnt hurt ur turbo. i had it on my vl running 20 psi with a highflow for ages and the dude b4 me had it running 25psi and theres not a sign of shaft play.

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
