Hey,

Ill be installing a GT2530 soon into my r32 but the turbo doesnt come with any water/oil lines or drain pipe.

Is it possible to use the stock lines/drain pipe etc from the standard rb20 turbo?

Is this advised, or should I get some new lines made up by Pirtek/Enzed?

If its better to get new lines, how exactly do i order a set for my car and the turbo?

Would they happen to have any information on the r32, and all i would need to bring is the 2530 for them to measure up the banjo bolts etc?

I have no clue on how to do this, any help would be awesome :O

Thanks

Patrick

The 2530 should go straight onto the stock stuff without a problem

Stock lines are the best thing for the job, strong and last the distance.

^^ eat that patrick!

haha awesome, thanks for clarifying that Ash :O

Next time i should learn to trust you more Abu, but then again you do own a r33 <3

lol i take it this carried over from the wasteland? :yes:

hehe over msn, but i prefer to have it in writing on sau as its easier to point the finger if it doesnt fit :O

Although being admin/mod you can always delete your response ;)

Blame Ash if it doesn't fit, I just agreed with him :O

I can't be liable for MSN conversations!!

but seriously it should all bolt up fine, if your using the stock oil drain from you turbo you won't even need a new return hose but maybe change it anyways as they crack sometimes when removing

Not fail and fail at all.

They are strong, and durable. As long as you dont go bending them (why on earth you'd bend metal piping like that logically is beyond me)

After market ones are a waste of money. Ive had them before but only because i had too. If there was a way to use stock metal lines, i'd have done that no question

Are you people sure that the std R32 oil and water lines are straight fit for a Garrett ball bearing turbo ?

All Garrett GT25 based ball bearing turbos (GT2554R - GT3582R) use GT25 sized unions from memory , I thought the Hitachi's used on RB20 and RB25's were different - larger water fittings like T3 water cooled eg VLT T3 .

The thing is that these GT25 based BB cartridges are more compact in the bearing housing than Hitachi's so as you would expect they tend to use smaller unions .

You may want to search for pics of plumbing bits HKS supplied if you bought their GT2530 turbo as a bolt on "kit" .

A bit of homework here saves frustration later , cheers A .

hmmm well this has turned around quickly.

Good thing the turbo is still on its way from japan :banana:

So if i need new water/oil lines, would a kit like this suit the car+turbo?

I had a rb20 turbo and have now got a hks gt2540 and they are different fittings all round. The oil drain has smaller bolt flange, the water lines are the same size on each side for the inlet and outlet. The oil feed is like a 14mm. They are BSP fittings so getting them from enzed and the like are good but they won't have anything for the oil drain.

A kit like you have shown would be good but if you are using a "GT25,28" turbo then you want that kind of kit. Not the T3 T4 turbo fitting kit. Not sure if they are the same or not but I would probably say no.

Looking at the kit that same group from ebay have for the T25 t28 turbo they dont have a oil drain flange for the turbo so i dont know how they expect you to fit that.

Just remember Garrett turbos have different fittings.

Just look around. I spent prob $150 on all my lines and fittings. I didnt go the whole bling bling factor of the braided line as its not really that good. I got Blue R9 High Temp Hose. A bit cheaper than braided but entirely up to the person.

Good luck

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
