Hi I just wanted to find out whether someone could list all the coolant hoses on a R33? I have a slow coolant leak somewhere and I want to check all the hoses before I take it to a workshop. The hoses I know of so far are -

Top & bottom radiator hoses

4 x heater hoses

small hose at the back of the engine (turbo coolant feed?)

If someone could list all other coolant hoses that would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Coolant will be leaking from the pipe which has white substance on it, this indicated coolant which has dried. search for this, it can be in the form of a metal rail (which I had) or the pipe, if its slow id expect it to be pipe. There are about 5 under the plenum and several behind the engine next to the firewall then you have upper and lower main pipes and thats about it.

Oh yes turbo feed for water cooled turbos :bunny:

I am fairly sure that the water pump is made to leak slightly when it is worn out as a sign to change it. It could be that. Check to see if it is wet underneath the water pump (make sure it's not too hot obviously). How many km's has your car done?

      Airbox for +T

      By BuiltNotBought · Posted

      I get you, we’ll see I’m aiming for 200ish kw now and hopefully 300rwkw down the line after some upgrades maybe like headstuds, E85 flex fuel etc  so trying to make it final for that now, I can get a GTT airbox for $280 so it’s not too bad but not sure if there’s better ways to spend that money. I seen online they say pod filter which isn’t enclosed isn’t good especially for a plus T.      hard to say what to do

      Airbox for +T

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Meh. How much power can you make from a +T anyway? I wouldn't have though it would be enough to challenge the airbox. It's not as if it's tiny compared with the turbo one. As to putting a pod in a stock airbox .... it's not the filter element that would be restrictive. It would be the air inlet to the box that would be the narrow point, which you could open up regardless of what element was inside. On my R32 I opened up the sort of triangular opening in the bottom front corner of the box, deformed (heated, moulded) some 4" stormwater pipe to fit to that opening and punched a 4" hole down through the inner guard to the spot where the stock intercooler used to be. This was purely in the search for a cold intake, but you could do something similar if you need to open up the inlet side of it. The AFM tube size is the same for both NA and turbo, so the outlet from the airbox is same same anyway. If you're going to do the right thing, then an aftermarket ECU won't care about the AFM (ie, you can get rid of it). But even if it was still there, people pull >300rwkW through them all day, and I suspect you won't be going there.

      By BuiltNotBought · Posted

      Doing a +T on my car and I’ve read the precious forums lots of mixed reviews from sometime back.  checking if anyone has any ideas for airbox or enclosed pod filter or solutions?  I was thinking stock GTT box but some say it’s restrictive? I seen some people try fit in a pod in the box anyone done that recently?  not any good enclosed options ? Thanks
