hey guys im looking at different options for my vl with a rb25. i was thinking of getting custom made intercooler piping

however if i was to get a rb25 kit and modify pieces of it what would you guys think i would have to mod or would i be better with a vl turbo kit

I bought a RB25 intercooler kit and fitted it upto my HR31 with a RB25. A few extra silicon hoses and it fits, i turned my cooler upside down so the tanks were at the top and it works fine. I didn't cut any holes or do anything to the body of the car, my pipes went between the headlights. Might be different for a VL though.

we just about Build your CAR JOEL,

do you need NEW post every time.

haha you almost have haha i jsut keep running into problems as i go along but much appreciated of everyones help i have got so much more done in the last 2 months than i did in 2 years of it being off the road

and ads i will try that its mainly the comp housing thats the diff between vl turbo and rb25 and i think the rb25 will work the best just may need extendin in some areas to accomodate for the larger engine bay.

My intercooler piping is off a vl so I'd say it will work

vl turbo kit or rb25 kit?

and ads thanks again considering i have a little bit more room in my engine bay it should be a little bit easier haha

The piping kit should work on different coolers as long as the inlet/outlet on the intercooler is in the same spot on both. My GK Tech cooler has 3" inlet and outlet at the bottom on each side FYI

yeah but the gktech cooler is smaller so the piping is suited to that however i found a piping kit with the same set up on the for a larger cooler

Looking at a stock engine bay on a VL turbo, I would personally tackle the job by means of an off the shelf VL cooler kit along with the addition of some cleverly positioned silicon joiners.

It appears just about everything is in the right spot, just needing to extend or reposition a couple of sections to suit the difference in motor/intake design and the same for the turbo (comp housing as stated and position).

Was a decent question IMO, simple resolve too. Best of luck.

hey guyys got a vl turbo intercooler piping kit yesterday most of it fits up well oulet from cooler to throttle body connects up fine with one cut to make it fit the standard crossover pipe however to compressor housing is a diffrent story. i have 2 ways of doing cutting a hole just above the chassis rail sideways or cutting a hole where the airbox used to be and buy a 90 degree joiner and a straight piece of piping. only prob is cutting hole sideways above chassis rail if i was to do that the power sterring lines get in the way so i may go with the hole where airbox was. ill keep posting how im going.

going to be a few days however due to christmas and damn missus wants to go out

hey guys ran into another problem the vac line from actuator needs somehre to go i have read you can t piece it off BOV however i removed my carbon canister and put a screw in the line on the manifold next to the throttle body (not the one on throttle body) would this be a good place to put it or would it onl be a vac line not boost also?

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
