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

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
