Need to get oil and water lines for my highmount gt3082 on rb2530. As topic states, where is the best place to buy. Obviously there is a difference in quality out there in the kits I have come accross, ranging from about $80 up to nearly $400.

What have you guys used? tried searching cannot find answers.

Thanks

I'd go and buy good second hand steel turbo water lines and banjo bolts from an SR20DET . They use either a Garrett bush or ball bearing center section which is externally same dimensions as your turbo . You buy new copper crush washers and bend/cut the steel lines so that they get far enough away from the turbos heat to enable the use of rubber hose to plumb to the engines water inlet and outlet . I've used EFI fuel hose in the past because its hardy re inforced so more durable than carby low pressure stuff .

Unless you get them pre made and cost effectively I think braided lines for water to 110C and 14-16 pounds pressure is over kill and more expensive than it needs to be .

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
