agreed, definently gotta buy him a beer at an SAU event

[Randon_I_Am]

Naww sheesh guys! You gonna make me blush!!!. That beer does sound good but

[Mitcho_7]

The oil feeding line supplied with the turbo looks like its gonna be a bit long, will this matter or should it be trimmed up? If so, how do i got about trimming it, because the fittings on each end dont look like they come off easily...

And just to confirm its a 24mm socket/spanner need for the water line banjo bolts isn't it?

[Manuel Kasko]

Yeah mitch it is a 24mm

You can borrow mine if you like rather then going out and buying one?

[Mitcho_7]

Might take you up on that.

Did you have to shorten up your braided oil line or did you use the stock one?

[Manuel Kasko]

My turbo was a little larger so the lines were fine.

But I doubt it is a problem having them a little longer.

As long as they dont rub against cables etc

[Mitcho_7]

Well after a really long day, turbo is in along with metal intake. At the moment the bov return and bov are bloked off, because I could not get the hose to go on the bung of the intake and the metal bov return pipe without kinking or touching the exhaust manifold. So a trip to enzed on Monday for some rubber hose in the right diameter an hopefully there wont be anything else major crop up.

[Manuel Kasko]

Hey Mitch I ended up getting some really nice hose that still touches the manifold but is holding up perfectly

Got it from A place on kembla st in fyshwick they are on the right I forget the name of them

The guys at enzed didn't have anything that could handle the heat

[Mitcho_7]

Ok, will check it out.

Anyone know why I can now hear a bubbling sound while im driving thats sounds like its coming from in the dash/ under hood?

A shit tonne of coolant came out of the water lines of the turbo, so once they were bolted back up, I poured coolant and water into the top of the radiator. I'm thinking the bubbling has something to do with the way I have done that...

[Manuel Kasko]

Message sent regarding bubbling

[Trozzle]

Run the engine with the radiator cap off, give it a couple of revs, let it warm up. All the air should come out of the system. Top up accordingly.

[D.I.Y. Mik]

Bleed hole on inlet plenum, 10mm spanner.

Have the car facing uphill and open (release pressure first!)

Bubbles of air trapped in the head come out,

top up from the radiator and see the coolant come out of the hole,

plug it back up,

run the motor for a minute or two,

Repeat untill all air is gone.

Ps. buy good tools, they are good as gold and will last decades, i have some of my grandfathers tools, spanners in the 50'S were made of good steel.

Dont buy shit tools, they will strip bolts and bust your knuckles and you will wish you had just borrowed dads sidchrome set.

[azathoth]

also make sure your heater is on when you are bleeding the system as there could be some air in there too. Good tools are worth their weight in gold. I still have all my tools from my apprenticeship except ones that have been 'borrowed' or ones i misused.

[Mitcho_7]

Can I assume that if the coolant level in the radiator hasn't dropped between now and when I did this thismorning that most air bubbles are out?

When I first checked it this morning there was a lot less in there than what was put in originally after the turbo install. Im assuming this is because it's a closed system with the bolt ad radiator cap on and all the air that was trapped in the head etc making it seem like the coolant was full but overnight the air has just traveled to the top of the radiator?

[azathoth]

sounds about right. Coolant level in the over flow bottle should have dropped if that's the case.

[Mitcho_7]

Yep, overflow was on max line then dropped a couple of cms.

[Mitcho_7]

got my nistune ecu back today from Matt and exhaust temp light and FICD issues have been sorted!

Also managed to ghetto up a temporary bov return line until the 1 1/8 inch silicone hose turns up then ill use it and wrap the area that touches the exhaust manifold in some heat wrap.
