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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
