hey there sau,

On christmas eve recently installed a RB20 turbo onto my 96' Series II R33 (rb25det). I noticed there was a extra line coming off the compressor side of the turbo connected to the aculator hose which my old turbo did not have. I'm just wondering what to do with this line coming off the turbo (breather like hose). The turbocharger is installed and iam waiting on a elbow that connects to my FMIC piping so i can complete my installation. I disconnected the line from the aculator to the breather like nipple on the compressor side of the turbo and connected the aculator hose to the T piece running from my oem boost solenoid. Will upload some pictures if needed

Best regards chris :thanks:

thanks again chris

why would you convert to an rb20 turbo?

The exhaust side of the compressor wheel disintegrated and im selling the car soon, picked the new turbo up really cheap anyways

cheers chris

would have to be a westie :P

>_< stupid uploader wouldnt work for some reason

EDIT: i thought u said would have to be a website... didnt read properly, and yeah im a westie :closedeyes:

Edited by hks33

that nipple is for the wastegate actuator.

hey man thanks for your help. Strange because i didnt remember my 25 turbo being like that when i pulled it off, so what will connect to to the other side of the T piece when i pull the wastegate actuator line off?

Thanks again dude

well you just lost any value the car had left.

you can get 25 turbos for what, 150 odd.

putting a 20 turbo onto a 25, you've just lost over a grand on resale IMO as whoever buys it is getting a car that's worse than factory.

You're assuming everyone knows what they are looking at.

I predict something like this.

Car advertised.

Knowledgeable person checks it out.

Knowledgeable person LOLS and then leaves.

Nub checks it out.

Nub takes it for test drive and drops a load in his jocks case he has previously only driven a Camry.

Nub happily hands over the readies not having a clue that it's got a smaller turbo.

Nub crashes the car 4 weeks later so is never the wiser.

Nub advertises the parted out wreck on SAU.

Nub sells "RB25" turbo only to have the buyer spaz out when they find out it's an RB20 turbo.

The circle of life is complete.

Nub claims insurance

Nub is told the car is modified and insurance is no longer valid.

Nub is innocently f**ked over.

The circle of life is complete.

Fixed.

Thats because on the rb25 instead of having the nipple on the turbo its on your intercooler piping so just block one of the nipples off and use either the one on your piping or the turbo to connect to the actuator.

hey there man,

so after i have connected the actuator to the nipple coming off the turbo your saying block one side of the T piece off that isnt going to be used, hence the bottom one that i currently have connected to the actuator?

leave the standard actuator setup and run that to the actuator like you did originally and block the hose on the comp housing

Hey there jonno,

thanks heaps man appreciate your help

Fixed.

Insurers can only void the claim if it contributed to the accident. Eg you put a 1000hp supercharged v8 in your skyline and you tbone someone at a traffic light because you are a tard, unless the engine caused the accident (it didnt) they can't void your claim.

    • Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask
    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
