bubba Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 It's a bit of a mission to rip all the lines and the solenoid out, I put a lockbar in and then waited until I next had the engine out to remove the rest of the crap. I got my lockbar off a trader over east (NYTSKY). Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/358567-r32-collection/page/21/#findComment-5878931 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grifforelli Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I got my lockbar off a trader over east (NYTSKY). How much did you pay for your lockbar bubba?

I got my lockbar off a trader over east (NYTSKY). pfftt, did mine with the motor in dont be weak. I know i did it when the rear cradle came out so cant remember how hard it will be with it in.

bubba Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Rear cradle in or out make no difference to complexity. It's the solenoid under the plenum and the lines across the front crossmember and the cooler line that runs across the radiator support that present the problem. I must say, it's a lot easier to change oil filters with the solenoid gone Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/358567-r32-collection/page/21/#findComment-5879618 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss-zilla Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 i dont recall it being that bad but i did do mine a long time ago. I also replaced the 'cooler line' with a auto cooler from a r33 (free) and ran the second stage into it so the lines on the crossmember stayed.

turboedsloth Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I also ran an oil cooler in line with mine after i pulled the hicas out, there was another trader selling lockbars to but i havent seen him around for ages. Once you pull the hicas out use the steel lines as "upgraded" fuel lines, they are 1/2in i'm pretty sure Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/358567-r32-collection/page/21/#findComment-5879766 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Mine is just looped back into the resevoir for now, have a cooler to go on using the second circuit when I can be bothered but there's not a lot of room behind the bar Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/358567-r32-collection/page/21/#findComment-5880344 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss-zilla Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 i fit mine next to the drivers side head light, but then again i had no air con core either. I miss that POS.

doyl Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Yeah i'm definitely not going to the amount of effort as taking all the tubing out. Bare minimum is what I'm prepared to put in, the lines can stay, they won't be harming anyone. Need to replace the front drivers side tie-rod end at the same time though, what is doing one of them like? No experience in suspension unfortunately. Haven't had much of a chance to drive her around in the dry yet, but the other night I did and boy is the back end slippery on boost. 270hp really creeps up on you good when you are used to an auto ford BA Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/358567-r32-collection/page/21/#findComment-5880633 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 i fit mine next to the drivers side head light, but then again i had no air con core either. I miss that POS. Worst comes to worst I'll mount the p/s and oil cooler at the top in front of the radiator but was trying to keep that path clear. With the GTR cooler setup behind a stock type-m front bar, doesn't leave a lot of room for anything! But really I'm not phased at the moment, it's only going to be a daily until I get a gearbox for the wagon.

Boss-zilla Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 another trick i have seen (as it is not a super critical thing) is the cooler mounted at the base of the rad with a small scoop picking up air from underneath. If you were looking between the rad and motor you would see it sitting horizontaly below, bit hard to explain.

If you were looking between the rad and motor you would see it sitting horizontaly below, bit hard to explain. That is one of the potential locations another is in between radiator and cooler (directly above bov return pipe), right down the bottom with a long narrow core, something like this should more than suffice.. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/DER-13210/?rtype=10 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/358567-r32-collection/page/21/#findComment-5880890 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubba Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Well the engine is pretty much ready to go (except for a bit of welding on the water outlet of the plenum), should hopefully be going in the car on Wednesday!

bubba Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 What turbo is it? Looks like a highflow?!? It's the highflow off the wagon but freshly rebuilt by Grant at Per4manz (he built it originally), reckons it's good for 24psi and 400rwhp but I'll probably only wind 15psi into it until I get a new gearbox for the wagon.
