Hello,

I got a pair of T517z 8cm turbos for the R32 but I don't know what to do.

It only oil cooled so what do I need to do with the water on the block when I take off my standard turbos off. :D

Anyone can help me?

Thanks in advance.

I think u need oil otherwise your turbos will seize!

You probably have to block your water lines, cause i know a few if not most trust turbos are not water cooled.

Anyway just take the bolt from the water line that goes into the block to a place like pirtek and they will give u a bolt with the same type of thread that u can use to put into the block and that will do the job. Then u have to worry about blocking off the other water line too.....

Not sure wat u mean about the turbos sitting opposite?

Good luck!

1. Drain coolant

2. Remove air filters/afm's, piping etc.

3. unbolt front pipe.

4. Remove your stock turbos, and lines. (some are underneath the car)

then.

You buy a bolt/plug for the water return on the block around (19mm) in size.

Then u need an additional 2 plugs/bolts for the water lines that run behind the engine that merge next to the abs unit (12mm, 17mm?).

And then u also need to block off the rubber water line/hose that runs at the front of the engine with a bolt and a clamp.

Then install turbo as normal.

I'll try and dig up that guide as i promised you.

Tai

it come swith standard dumpe and lines. no braided or nothing. It is a used kit :ermm:

Please take some photos for me that would be appreciated :D

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
