Hi everyone...not sure if this has been posted, but i am interested in finding out what fittings i need to install braided lines on my a stock r33 rb25det turbo. Replacing the turbo with another stock one and dont want to run the old copper pipes. Im getting the lines from a mate who had them on his silvia for an aftermarket turb's and just need to know what fitting size/type (part no.s etc will suffice) ill need to put on the lines for my engine-turbo setup. Any photo's of a setup with the lines on from anyone would also be much apreciated (as this will make my removal/install much easier).

Thanks

Brendan

I'd love to help man, but I don't have much experience with the stock RB turbos...

They are weird sizes tho, not like Garrett where everything is -3 or 14 x M1.5

Try taking the existing lines into a fittings place (some sorta specialised hardware store) and find flare fittings that match the ends of the stock lines.

correct... oil feed is M12x1.5 IIRC :P

and its generally a fine thread feeding from the block, rb25 out of the block is 12x1.25 for oil feed and 14x1.5 for water feed.. well it is on the one i'm doin at the moment!

into the turbo might be 1.5 i'm not sure.. never bothered to check that one lol

Why bother with the cost or complexity??? Especially with a stock turbo.

BTW, braided lines are more fragile, will need repair/replacment much sooner, create more oppertunities to leak, less effective and much more prone to failure than the stock steel lines...

Save your $400 and buy somthing usefull.

^ Agreed

The factory lines will be far more reliable than braided. I had steel lines made for my highmount rather than go braided

Cheers everyone for the help...the braided lines were more of a back up, incase i kinked the factroy steel lines when removing or installing the turbo. And lazy_bastard how much were the steel lines you had made up?

Thanks guys

Brendan

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
