i tried searching but cant find what im looking for

im buying the apexi ax5370-p25 turbo kit that is advertised on here. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ap...-S-t226760.html

it comes with all the lines etc i believe.

its going to replace a rb25 turbo on my r32 rb20.

if i decide to do the install myself its all got to go smoothly & be a 1 weekend job, so im looking to get some info on the oil & water lines before i start.

where does the oil feed line from the top of the turbo go to on the block? is it easy to get to?

i think i can see 1 water line go from the turbo to around the back of the head, looks to be a bit tight in there for room..

where does the other water line connect to from the turbo? is that one easy to get to?

thanks

did mine in 5 hours! same turbo same car..

back of the block water line is a mungrel to get too...

u need a spacer for the manifold! to puch the lager compresser out abit. prob 5mm..

need a custom heat shield!

other than that was a fair easy job!

thanks for your reply, yeah i saw yur thread looking for similar help.

a spacer, yeah i just noticed my rb35 turb is just touching the stock mani heat sheild, so i was wondering about that..

did yours come with the apxi lines? if so does it connect to that water line at the back of the head?

what about the other lines are they easy?

hey yeh i didnt get to the back one.. just connected to the existing one that goes there then heat wraped it.. yeh i got the full kit..

the others are easy just abit fiddly! but iff u pull everything off and drop the dump u should be fine!

nope i had to chase one down!!

and i got an 8mm first and studs were too short found 5mm was better! had to grind a very small amount of the comp cover were the apexi logo is to fit it! im talkn likr 3-4 mm! so not alot! u will c when u line it up!

thanks, like i say i want to do this job first time in one weekend, so thats great info.

im getting everything the seller used to install in his 32 so it should come with a spacer etc, but i will check now.

cheers

hi Adrian

hi just found this pic of yur turbo, i can see where you have ground down the comp cover a bit for clearance, but i cant really see the spacer?

is it in that pic? cause the studs look like they are poking thru the flange/nuts, as much as my rb25 turbo?

cheers

haha yeh there is a 5mm spacer.. had to c! but was just enough to push it out so i didnt have to grind too much away!

its more the fact of clearing the comp cover than were the manifold joins!

yeah i understand what the spacer is for, but in that pic i can see the turbine t3 flange, gasket & what looks like the exhaust manifold flange - or is the 2nd gasket & 5mm spacer there?

also the studs have about the same amount of thread showing as my stock setup (suggesting no 5mm spacer?)

cheers

4k sounds about right from me guestimating from other charts ive seen that read road speed not revs (around 100kmp/h in 4th gear)

tbh 280hp atw at 17psi sounds a bit low to me, but could be the dyno or other factors?

im making 250 now & im hoping for 50+hp more not just 30?

are you running a cat & what dump is it?

cheers

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
