hey all

just need to no if the second coolant line off the turbo can go in the block coolant bleed bolt hole below the first coolant line as the stock line go's in to back of stock intake and i cant see that u can do this on a greedy 1 some info would be great thanks

Edited by mattsr31

sorry i will try again

right stock coolant lines for turbo u have 1 into the block and 1 into the rear of the intake right

the line that go's into the block there is a coolant bleed bolt to drain coolant out of block right

is this were u put second line off ur turbo?

as im have a greedy intake on my car and i dont see how u ran coolant off it or can u

is that any better LOL

okay, Search for the greddy Style intake manifold intsall thread. because i'm not close to my car to take pics. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/to...+intake+install

scroll down and in one of the pictures he joins 2 coolant lines together with a piece of fuel pipe off-cut. now rather than join the coolant line the goes behind the block, just connect it from the turbo to where he joins it up in the photo.

i hope you understand... say if you dont!

hope this helps

Think i know wat your saying, on the side of the block is a coolant supply for the turbo, theres also an oil supply for the turbo, i dont know of a third coolant supply or "bleed" bolt being on there too, and if you use the Greddy plenum, though i dont have one or have much of an idea how they work i beleive the coolant supply still comes off the intake plenum somewhere, though alot of 26's use a coolant line off the top radiator hose to supply the turbo. I think this is rite...anyone know if im talking crap or not?

No u cant use that bleed bolt as return line (even though its close and would be much easier), your coolant for the turbo wont circulate thru the system and you will eventually cook the turbo

my mate learnt this the hard way after killing 2 GT35r turbos, you need to run it from around the other side of the block necause that line picks up coolant thats already been circulated thru the block/radiator etc

hope it makes sense lol just dont do it ok.

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
