Hi just wondering if someone who has a good knowledge of the RB25Det can list the locations of all the coolant hoses. The reason I ask is that I have a possible coolant leak and I am trying to locate the leak. The hoses Im aware of are -

Top & bottom radiator hose

4 x heater hoses

Small elbow coolant hose located at rear of engine (turbo coolant feed??)

Any help would be much appreciated!

Here are the diagrams for all coolant hoses EXCEPT 2 more which are also under the manifold and attached to some kind of weird device near the oil filter.

I have had these diagrams for while - but have only now taken all the by-pass hoses off from under the manifold. It's a pain of a job, took out the starter motor to get some access from underneath.

Just a quick note that the 4 heater hoses are probably best to get genuine form Nissan due to the very tight space and bends required. In a temp job you could by-pass the core if required.

The rest can be generic hoses - you will need one 120degree or at least 90 degree formed 19mm hose which is short (for part 14056N - above diagram). The rest are 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4inch generic hose like Gates.

thanks simpletool, did mine today after finding a massive split in 14056NB piece [source of all my water loss] . Such a pos job pulling the intake manifold off though. I think you also need a piece with a 90deg. of 1/2" for the top outlet oil cooler (weird device ontop of the oil filter) to the T piece above the starter. I got away with a normal piece of 1/2" adding one of those spring clips to the bend to stop it collapsing.

Also grab yourself some PBR Rubbber grease, it really helps when trying to get a stubborn pipe on and also that small section behind the head for the turbo water feed. While your at it I would also replace all the clips with worm clamps and use a socket to do them up(alot easier than struggling with a screw driver).

Old thread but has anyone been able to replace the little 90 deg rubber hose at the back of the engine leading to the turbo carrying coolant?

What is the easiest/quickest way without pulling off the intake manifold.

Do you need special tools or just miniature hands hahah.

Bump, any suggestions as the best way to tackle this hose ?

I'd say take off the top half of the manifold and then you should get it. I managed to get it with a Greddy copy manifold, I'm not saying it was nice, but it was do-able. So all you would need is the gasket that goes between the two halves of the manifold, and to just take a bit more time to do it

I've never done it like this, its just a suggestion

Mind pm me that picture! Can't see it properly :(

Yeah I can still see them clearly by clicking.  Those pics would have been on my old computer which was thrown out years ago.  Sorry :(

FWIW the only thing I had to remove was the starter motor and I replaced all the hoses under the plenum, the one to the turbo behind the plenum, the hoses to the heater hose valve, the valve body on the firewall, the hoses from the valve body to the heater core.  so yeah every hose.  

For most hoses I used universal hoses with 90deg and 135deg bends from Repco/supercheap.   Used genuine hoses from block to heater (4 hoses) and I think one of the 135deg bends up near the front of the plenum near the fuel pressure reg.

Hey mate, old thread, but I'm attempting this job soon. Just for absolute clarity, are you saying you replaced this hose in the video below by attacking from beneath the car? You only had to remove the starter? Appreciate further clarity and/or advice if you have it! :)

 

Cheers

    • 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.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • 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?
