Where are you guys sourcing turbo fittings from, the local Enzed what rediculous dollars for what seem to be basic fittings.

I need a 4AN to 14mm banjo and a 4AN to 14mm straight through.

Are there any cheap places online besides eBay?

I should clarify, i don't mean Clints Crazy Bargains fittings, i just mean an alternate source to Pirtek/Enzed locally who seem to want to charge a bunch.

All I'm doing is a fitting a bigger turbo a track based S13 with a CA in it, it's budget racing :D

I bought my teflon lines and fittings from TORQUES an ebay seller in the UK, very good prices and better quality than the Proflow gear I bought locally. No issues with them so far after 6 odd months running eflex.

go to any decent industrial hydraulics supplier. (yellow pages is your friend) forget calling them AN as they will look at you with a blank look. tell them you want JIC fittings like every 1 else does except car part suppliers.

I use all Eaton (which is the industrial brand of Aeroquip) fittings on my car there cheaper & heavier duty, but they don't come in pretty colours.

If using a Garrett small frame BB turbo re use the banjos from the std T25 based turbo . Most of the hydraulics suppliers sell -4 AN weld on fittings , you drill them to suit the std shortened steel banjo tube and braze them on . Simple and looks factory because the banjos are . You'll find they are the most compact too and compact is good with turbo fittings .

I just came across SpeedflowDirect. They have by far the best prices I've come across for Speedflow gear (unfortunately I recently purchased my items :rant: ). I just received an email from Andy there they are located in Adelaide but freight won't be much for fittings and a bit of hose. They guys name is Andy.

If anyone is in Melbourne, MSCN have 'opened' up a store which is now part of Meridian Motorsport in the same location in Moorabbin/Cheltenham.

I missed out on the good pricing but hopefully this might help someone else :)

As urtwhistle mentioned, for simple Metric to AN adaptors, ie for RB block water fittings, you could try hydraulic distributors, ie Hardy Spicer, Hydraulink, Soutcott, Enzed & Pirtek etc. They will refer to them as Metric to JIC fittings. AN is only really used in the Auto industry as far as I can tell.

While I'm at it I figured I'd add the items I was getting for my GT-RS (GT2871R) turbo water lines..

WATER HOSE

-6 HOSE (200 Series, TEFLON) [200-06]

For 1 Turbo end..

14.5mm BANJO to -6AN [720-06]

BANJO BOLT (M14 x 1.5) [725-06]

-6 HOSE to -6AN 45 DEG (200 Series) [202-06-D]

For other Turbo end..

14.5mm BANJO to -6AN [720-06]

BANJO BOLT (M14 x 1.5) [725-06]

-6 HOSE to -6AN Straight (200 Series) [201-06-D]

For Block water outlet.

M14 x 1.5 to -6AN metric adaptor [732-06]

-6 HOSE to -6AN 90 DEG (200 Series) [203-06-D] - For Block end

I didn't get the Oil fittings (came with turbo) but below looks to be what is required.

OIL HOSE

-4 HOSE (200 Series, TEFLON) [200-04]

Block end - Oil outlet.

M12 x 1.25 to -4AN [358-04], possibly [730-04]

-4 HOSE to -4AN Straight (200 Series) [201-04-D or 201-04]

Turbo End

7/16" Eye Banjo to -4AN [311-04]

7/16" Banjo Bolt [300-04]

-4 HOSE to -4AN 90 deg (200 Series) [203-04-D or 203-04]

You may want to use slightly different combos depending on what your setup is so that is definitely not a one size fits all but should give a bit of an idea as to what sizes are required. I found it hard to find all this info in one place. I am going to use the exisitng oil drain parts but you could use a Turbocharger adaptor with some -10AN hose and fittings.

You can also do this cheaper with the SS hose with rubber lining but I went the teflon lined hose for added protection. I'm going even further and getting some black Insultherm sleeving from Thermo-Tec to further protect things.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
