hey guys,

Need to borrow a bit of knowledge from some RB experts :) . Over the last few months in my spare time ive been building up a 4WD RB25det for my R32 GTS4. I have installed a greddy type front feed plenum and its made things a little extra confusing for me now that i need to connect all the water lines.

in this picture you can see the turbo water line coming around the back of the head. I am using one from an RB20det, notice it splits into too lines. I'm unsure if i need both the lines now that im using the greddy, so im guessing i might end up blocking the top one off? For now, you can see i have connected the bottom line to the closest connection, just for science. Anyone know where it/they are supposed to go?

PICTURE 1:

in this picture you can see another part that needs connecting... any clues?

PICTURE 2:

in this picture you can see the last 3 water connections i need to complete... the green plastic one and the other 2 metal ones. I have blocked off the small top metal one as instructed by this tutorial from strich9. this leaves me with another 2 lines i need to connect...

2nd pic and last pic big fitting are heater hoses. Green plastic one isnt a water connection, its the knock sensor

thanx, i cant remember where to join the knock sensor then? also im guessing to join the heater hoses its going to be a little different than normal due to the fact its goin in a 32.

And the first pic, needs to go into the back of ur intake.

Mine actually doesnt have a T peice. its just a straight pipe, form the intake around the back to the turbo.

Probably would be better to do it this way, as the heater has flow from either side of the block. With the T peice you are just tapping the heater system into the turbos watercooling system.

yes this is what i suspected. If the rb25's only have one line then im sweet to block of that top one. cheers

connect that large one back to the water/oil cooler.

As Adriano said green one = knock sensor

not sure which large one your talking about?

i cant connect my turbo water line to the intake as the greddy doesnt have anywhere for me to connect it. on this tutorial it isnt very clear but it appears he has tapped the turbo water line into the small nipple on the heater hose connection? i assume this would be ok as the water would be the same temperature all around the block? or is there a cooler source of water i can tap into?

Remember this below? It's the turbo water line that went into the back of the stocker plenum! (yes, we gotta hook it up!)

Use our bit of fuel line, and some ingenuity, and extend the water line to the nipple below. You'll see what I mean. It's hiding.

Hi mate, yea you could probably get away with it. possibly check with someone whos done it, or someone more experienced to be sure.

      Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics

      @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?

      Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
