Hey guys, I'm half way through fitting a front mount and am wondering g what to do with the washer bottle set up in the front right corner. The piping will foul it. Do I mount it else where or ditch it?

Thats one of the reasons people tend to buy return flow coolers so it uses the stock pipes in the engine bay.

I did it becuase i went high mount and FFP.... Ill have to locate the washer bottle on the passenger side as the oil cooler has taken up the rest of the space where the washer bottle was....

next problem?

where to run the boost line? if thats what it is?

the stock pipe that feeds into the intake had a nipple but nothing on the new one.

where do i fit it?

do i put a barb into the silicone joiner from the cold side where it meets the stock intake pipe?

i know this a noob question but i gota learn some how

cheers

yes i saw ur post. the original nipple was on the cold side near the intake pipe.

thats why i asked.

so would it be better to move it to the hot side near the compressor outlet or just put ib back where the original was?

got it finished... yew!

next time i will spend the dollars on a proper r34 kit, there were endless issues with the piping.

i replaced all the silicone joiners that were supplied as they were all to short or the wrong angle.

car has never driven so nice, its amazing how much more response it has with the FMIC and 3" turbo back exhaust.

cheers boys

Why do all piping kits come in 3 piece only? Does anyone know of an RB25 kit that has the turbo to intercooler pipe included?

89CAL that is a very nice setup you have. Good well done :)

The hot side pipe that comes of the turbo compressor and fits onto the 'cooler, I understand that there is only one hot side pipe that goes half way.

So basically what I am after is a inter cooler piping kit that goes from throttle body to turbo. I am running a GT3037S

    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
