Hey guys new turbo is on and running 20+ psi. On full throttle now one or another of the cooler pipes will blow off as they are not lipped at the ends.

Just wondering if theres is anywhere that definitely does this in melb area and around how much it would cost for the full kit to be lipped (4 peices i think so 8 lips)

Cheers

go to oh performance they have the tooling there to do this should costs much , they il do it on the spot in most cases , 186 mc intre rd sunshine nth 9364 4862

You mean you'll do it.

Andrew - you're better off just going to somewhere or someone that welds.

You just need 4-5 spot 'bumps' welded on so the clamp has something to grip.

Thats how i did mine, had a mate do it and held 25psi no problems. You dont see it either so it can be any old backyard style welding and then just file down any slight dregs so it doesnt tear/wear the piping.

My pipes were done in about 6mins :laugh:

lol trying to get some customers back from that 33 gtr incident?

its not gona happen :laugh:

hey mate, been awhile. hope all is well. what turbo u running at 20psi??

as an alternative, and is really easy...I was having issues of popped pipes as well, I just flared the ends of the pipes out a little with an adjustable spanner,took 4 mins and holding 17psi fine.

gl with it.

Cheers for the help guys.

Adam - its a VG30DET highflow by GCG so hoping for round 270kw. Pipes were poping off with 12 psi with old turbo so its no surprise they are now.

A mate of mine did sugest the flaring, is it still easy to get silicon joiners back on?

I think ill just do that if its gonna cost too much to lip/bead.

nice dude! when u gunna forge? im looking at keeping mine as is for now, and slowly accumulate the parts for forging until im ready...

it is fairly easy.... start flaring, put the kettle on for a cuppa (and incase u need to make the joiners a little softer) do it a little all the way round and if you can still get the joiner on easy then do it a little more, if too much then just deflare :) ... ull be fine dude, othernwise if u come back donvale way ill help ya.

    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
