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.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
