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.

    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
    • thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...
    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
