Hey,

got a highflow vl turb with t3 or t4 cartridge and some kind of modified rear housing.

i ran into dramas dummy fitting. ill let pictures explain.

as you can see straight up we have an issue with the dump pipe off on an angle due to the vl turbo mounted horizontal instead of vertical.

now im wondering without making a new dump or modifying the dump can i get it to fit properly.

as you can see if i hold it like so all the oil / water lines will line up, but if i modify the dump and bolt it straight up the oil return is horizontal not vertical.

any ideas... its asif i need to make some kind of t3-t3 90deg piece or if a rb30 turbo manifold would fit im not sure on stud pattern.

any suggestions would be kool, otherwise ill whack the stocker back on.

thanks,

dave

sorry i read it wrong...

have u tried rotating the exhaust housing?

No matter how u rotate the exhaust housing the dump will still stay on the same angle. might need to fabricate a new dump to suit mate.

for the oil feed it should be vertical so just rotate the 2 housings so that you get it in that position then get some braided oil and water lines, you then may have to rotate the turbine housing so you can get your pipe on your snail.

The most costly will be getting a dump pipe made to suit your turbo. probably around $400-$600 from your common exhaust shop.

im gona mod the dump myself. but ill try rotating it all. i knew you could rotate it but i was looking at the dump all the time going wtf !!!. but ill see how i go and then hopefully be able to mod the dump.

as i said this came off a R33 so i have no idea how the dump pipe worked out?

it would have had a custom manifold, possibly a high mount :) thats why the dumps like that

custom maybe, highmount no the dump would then be pointing at the bonnet. if a rb30 turbo manifold fits a rb25 thats what it would of been mounted on.

thanks for help, its on now, and im gona mod the dump on the weekend. factory lines fit, just needed the braided oil line. :down: the first time the rear housing didnt spin, but a whack with a rubber mallet fixed that. :)

if u put a peace inbetween the ex housing and the mani, the turbo would most likly hit the engine mounts when u put it in a car. Mod the dump, should b pritty easy, just cut the pipe off the flange, panel beat it to fit the right way and weld her up : D

if a rb30 turbo manifold fits a rb25 thats what it would of been mounted on.

nope. probs something like a hks cast low mount mani that has the flange facing down.

most important thing is to make sure the oil feed is at the top and drain is at the bottom, as close to vertical as possible

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
