Installing Hks Gt-rs Questions: Banjo Bolt Position, Copper Washers, Oil Drain Gasket..


Recommended Posts

I just took the car for a quick run, its sounding good, drives fine. Damn the induction is LOUD, I like it. :)

There was abit of smoke/steam still coming out of the engine bay and upon closer inspection its directly where the dump bolts up to the turbo. I think it may be the Ultrablue 77B thats burning up, I put it on the dumpside gasket cos thats what the guy at the exhaust shop told me to do. Said it was sensor safe and should be fine. :paranoid:

Man thermal wrapping is expensive, I just unpluged the line and relocated. Much to my surprise it wasn't much coolant pissing out at all so its not bad. Its just sitting on the same metal lines the oil feed is. I just realised I didn't attach the picture in the last post, Manwhore can you have a look at this and tell me if its okay for the lines to sitting on this pipe?

Hey Manwhore I would like to do it but I can't atm as the car doesn't have wheels with proper tyres on it. I'll shall be getting new wheels next week and I'll let you know then.

That line hitting the aircon pipe looks fine to me, just put a bit of plastic or rubber insulation around it just to be safe, by the way are you using the lines that came with the brand new gt-rs kit? or did you buy the gt-rs second hand and got lines custom made up?

awesome, let us knwo then.

If not much coolant came out, then that means you MIGHT have air in the system. If it was me, i'd bleed it. Even after I drained the radiator, when I undid the bajo, about 4-4.5 L came out.

nizmo, the lines are from the GT-RS kit, it was second hand but its what came with the kit originally.

Manwhore, its just resting against it. :) Like theres a natural bend in the line and that pipe stops it from doing its full bend, the coolant feed is sitting on that line as well though you can't see it in the picture.

I'll bleed the system, the amount of coolant that came out was probably wasn't much because as long as I was holding the braided line up it no more would come out until I bent the line lower allowing coolant to spill out.

The whole time the engine is running and rocking from side to side, the S/S line will rub thru the alloy a/c line

I will give it 1 week maybe 2 before your A/C stops working. Best to space it away or put a rubber sleeve on it

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
