full day? for just a turbs :S

i was doin my sr swaps in around 2-3 hours and thats with alot of drink breaks :whistling:

it is fairly easy job

1. take off cross over pipe that goes to t/b 2.take off intake pipe, 3.take off exhaust (from dump) 4. undo turbo lines (2 coolant 1 oil in 1 oil return) 5. undo temp sensor which is on the dump 6. undo manifold bolts *you may need to take the heat shield off to get to the many bolts not sure on the rb*

and off she comes... hopefully :blush: be gentle with the stock solid lines as they easily bend, hopefully the ax has braided line which will make life ALOT easier when installing, if using original lines make sure not to bend and replace the copper washers

take off old turbs replace with ax and preferably new turbs to mani gasket aswell as mani to head gasket

then reinstall will just be a matter of reversing the above :ermm:

if u have another car to use give it a shot yaself, whats the harm?

Edited by shy_s6

it does really matter as you are taking them all off any way u will see which is which when the oil or coolant comes out :dry:

there should be 4 lines 1 each side of the turbs, the line going into the top is the oil feed the bigger hose on the bottom is just the oil return, the 2 either side are coolant. and the oil line will be smaller then the coolant look on the ax and you will see it.

well im not gonna risk stuffing something up so i guess ill just pay the $600! unless someone wants to make themself $300??

lol

cheers adrian

Where you located? I could prob use the warm up for my turbo install. :merli:

When do you want to do it. Weekends work best for me. Preferrably Saturdays while the auto shops are open, there is always something unforeseen to buy. $300 is too much imo, I'd happily help for half that if it suits when I'm available.

And yes, I've done many projects, so I know what I'm doing. :dry:

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
