What I would like to do with my next car is have the wastegate pipe exit off to the side of the car, just like Top Secret's Supra. Then you would be able to see flames :) Most of the wastegate pipes just dump to the ground, and are underneath the car so you can't see the flames, just hear the bark. I guess the wastegate pipe is just like an exhaust without a muffler. The sound probably depends upon the specs of the turbo? I don't think it's affected by the wastegate, because after all it just acts like a valve.

Good choice on the manifold GTS-t VSPEC, hope everything goes well. Should be interesting to see the results. Just a question, when peope custom make manifolds, how do they decide the shape? Do they equal tune/length the pipes of the manifold? Or do they just make it up? I thought equal tuning would be important - to have a constant pressure througout?

I have a trust type R, which is plumbed back and is reasonably quiet. In fact just about everything is pretty quiet (except the screamer), the exhaust definately is louder with new turbs/manifold but has a really nice note to it, much angrier sounding, but the pod noise is completely gone with the new box.

Evan made my RB25 tuned length ceramic coated mild steel manifold for 1200, ceramic coat of manifold and dump was around $200.

Sounds good Steve. Is the "quiet car" so as not to attract unwanted attention? Eg red and blue lights. That's probably a wise thing. I find it very discouraging if cops are out there and defecting a lot of people. All your hard work has to be ripped off. What a pain! Hope it doesn't happen to anyone, but I'm sure many people here have already had the unpleasant experience.

right, wasnt sure as i'm looking into picking up a turbosmart ultragate or something similar,

heres my problem, not making any difference from 14 psi and over,workshop thinks its cause of the wastegate (T04) it had 2 "bedsprings" hanging off with one attached to the turbo and one not, due to the seller of the car taking it off so i wasnt learning how to drive it with it pushing out close to 1.5bar

thought it was a restrictive cat but later found out that it was gutted anyway, so replaced that with a 3 inch and still the problem remains.

any suggestions?

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.

      The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
