Good luck Kasko, lol.

Actually one thing to be prepared for is having to physically bend the hard lines for the water feed. This is going to take time as you have to be careful not to crush them, and it's also very frustrating getting them to line up properly.

Not sure if it will be necessary with your turbo though

Kasko, I'm very confident that you will have to do some serious (but very cautious) bending of the hard water lines.

This can be a complete pain in the ass, we got it there on Troy's, but i went and got a soft line made up for mine from enzed.

Mitcho, The 34 highflow will just bolt straight back on and everything will line up perfectly.

- There's 6 dump pipe bolts (if you have had a new dump pipe some time in the cars life these won't be too bad) If it's a stock dump you might be able to detatch the dump from the rest of the exhaust by 3 bolts (i think), then take it out and get the dump removed on the bench.

- 4 Turbo to Manifold bolts/nuts (Theses are the ones that will break if anything's going to go wrong. Get new studs if you can get the old ones out! search Hypergear's thread for the size of stud, any exhaust shop will have them)

- 2 oil lines (easy)

- 2 water lines (will be easy with the same turbo going on)

- and the obvious piping (easy)

Cheers

It seems so easy when its typed out like that, but it never works out to be as simple. I have had the dump/front pipe on and off a few times, so im ok with getting it off. Im just not confident with acually removing the turbo/water/oil lines. I also really hope i dont snap any of the turbo to manifold studs. Is spraying them with heaps of wd40 a good idea or does it tend to not help much?

Yeah spray it with WD40, can't hurt!

I THINK the water lines are a 24mm banjo bolt, I may be off with the size but its a pretty big socket you need. They are on either side of the turbo (the oil feed is on the top and the oil drain is on the bottom).

the outside banjo bolt is easy to access, the one in between the turbo and block is kinda hard to get to. It can be easier to remove the dump and manifold nuts to you can slide the turbo out then get room to get the socket in there behind it.

As soon as you crack the either of the banjo bolts the head will drain all it's coolant out onto your feet, through said banjo bolt, so don't panic. So get a tray or something under there :)

The oil feed really is as simple as undoing an easy to get to bolt. the oil drain you can get off by just undoing a hose clamp under the turbo (stick your head under there and you can't miss it).

Okay so guys I pulled off everything yesterday except for the 2 water lines and the bottom oil line.

Didnt have the 24mm socket haha so I will be getting that today.

Either the product I purchased (instant freeze stuff) is amazingly good at what it does.

OR!

The why who bolted up my turbo and dump pipe is very stupid! because we managed to unscrew my bolts to the turbo and to the manifold by hand! They didnt need to be cracked or anything haha

How's the SS1PU looking?

Rusty haha the rear housing has already got surface rust.

Anyone know if there is paint capable or handling the heat on it if I sprayed it black?

It looks that it may not be a huge problem to fit but I should know by tonight.

Well I got a little side tracked and wired up my Z32 yesterday.

Shane pulled the last bit of the turbo off because we had to borrow a 24mm socket.

My stockie is out and today is gasket day/silicone joiner day.

Just need one gasket for the bottom of the turbo where the oil out line goes.

Then in it goes and im done!

Also have to put the whole front of the car back on haha because I decided to pull the front bar off and spray it

Plus clean the intercooler

I was talking to my mate yesterday and he thinks i should try and do as much as possible over the Easter break so I have a few free days in a row that I can dedicate to working on it.

I am thinking of doing the nismo fuel pump, trying the ecu to see if the car will run and maybe doing the profec b ebc on the Friday.

Pulling out the turbo/stock intake on Saturday and getting the hi flow and metal intake install started. Have a break on Sunday.

Then on Monday finish off the turbo install and wire up a quick swap over plug sorta thing for the z32.

Then I guess see if the car will still drive with all that and if not whack in the injectors and get it towed to the tuners during the week.

Is anyone going to be available to possibly help out over Easter (specifically with the turbo/ ebc/ afm soldering) ?

If I have any time mate I'll give you a call

The wiring for the AFM quick swap plug was straight forward in mine.

I went to jaycar and got 2 plugs with 4 holes and wires.

EBC I have a greddy profec b spec and could help with that one to.

Just depends on if I have to work a lot

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
