ok so ive purchased myself a twinscroll dual wastegate highmount 6boost mani for my r34

I seem to have come to a slight impass whilst test fitting before taking to the ceramic coaters.

my problem is that it hits on one of the hard lines going to my ac compressor. just want to know if anyone can recommend a shop in Sydney that could make up a custom line for me if its possible

or if someone else has had this issue and found another solution, its the one on the top at the back of it that goes up through the firewall.

ive already disconnected it and it clears everything else, just going to get some heat sleeving and shielding for surrounding cables and lines.

note that I did use the search function but could not find anything of help

thanks

i had the same issue with mine, kyle(6boost) offered to fix it for free, but i ended up just getting an a/c line modded,

just go to your local a/c or radiator place. thats where i got mine done

or send it back to be fixed

I got it off one of his suppliers who told me to just bend it out of the way. I've already dropped it off to be ceramic coated so definitely not sending it back. Might try bend it n if it snaps or kinks I'll just go check out an ac place.

owenliberts what did they do to mod it and how much was it roughly?

This also happened to some one who uses the same mechanic as me, think his name is Jamie and he is a member on here. R34 GTR "HALUCN8" apparently no one has given Kyle at 6boost about it. Jamie apparently spoke to Kyle about it at Jamboree

I told kyle, but was told, ghats the right manifold.

as I said, knock it out of the way, works ok so far.

also have ceramic coating.

and some heat wrap.

Luke GTR what did u use to give it some persuasion, a small pipe bender would be good, don't wanna buy one just for this though

lump of wood and a hammer helped.

also, a pry bar.

look on ebay for heat proof tape/pipe coverings.

can take some punishment.

should help prolong the life of the ac.

ok cool thanks guys. going to give the old hammer and timber trick a go when I get the mani back tomorrow hopefully, failing that a visit to an ac shop.

and yeah ive ordered some of that flame proof shielding stuff to wrap my pipes and cables

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping.

      Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.

      Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.

      Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂

      I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
