Hey guys, I recently received my highflow turbo back from GCG and have been advised to get a new Oil Feed Line.

In Brief:

1. Where is a good place to get a new Oil Feed Line made?

2. How do I take off my oem Line?

3. What features will I need on the new line, e.g. new banjo etc?

Thanks in advance.

just take the gcg turbo and the old oil line down to pirtek / Enzed etc,

they will be able to make one up for you.

as for taking the old one off, you will need to undo the banjo from the turbo and the block (sits about 6" above the oil drain hose) I think from memory they are a 16mm bolt, and its probably best to undo the one on the block from under the car.

They usually need a good tap with a mallet to break the seal on them, after that its easy ;)

Edit: If you dont havea spare car to get down to pirtek etc, the block fitting is 12mmx1.5, and use either a -4 or -3 stainless braided hose, or you can use "bundy tube" like factory

Did GCG say anything about a restrictor needed for the turbo?

We can supply you one for $80 is required.

Its a half meter long dash 3 SS braided hose with one straight hose tail and a 90 degrees hose tail.

2x speed flow fittings. One in M12x1.25 to engine and the other one depends on the thread that is in the turbo. Factory turbo thread is also in M12x1.25

Factory oil line is held by a hollow screw, Once you remove the screw it comes off. If the high flowed turbo is using sleeve bearings, You will need to get aftermarket oil line or drill out your stock oil line's restriction valve.

Its 12x1.5

and you definatly wont need 50cm.

I have a high mount tubo and line feed line would be lucky to be 30cm long

Ive got another car. So all good.

No the guy at GCG didnt say anything about the highflow needing a restrictor, just to get a new oil feed line made.

Cool, just take the off the oil feed on the car, check to make sure the bolt for the banjo fits in the new turbo, then take the old line and the bolts, down to the shop and they'll make you one up.

Just make sure you get new washers aswell, as the old ones tend to leak.

the stock thread is definitly M12x1.25. Not M12x1.5. Don't get the wrong one.

We currently supply quite a few on weekly bases to high flow customers. The speedflow fitting is better to use compare to benjo bolts, The 50mm line runs between the turbo and chassis.

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
