Oh yeah get a braided oil feed line :rofl:

Honestly it just looks like your typical.slap.job someone has put together in their backyard and then realized they need to spend 3k on a ecu,injectors and a tune...so they gave up

which oil line? the turbo gravity feed? or engine oil? i want to replace the majority of the pipes, i just need to know the important ones to change over >_<

This injectors tune ecu boost controller and pipes shouldn't be more then 2 grand get it done and you will have a very capable street car some bolt on spacers to fix wheels rubbing shouldnt be more then 50 bucks

I don't have 2 grand, my budget died after buying the stock parts, i'm in this build now. I'm hoping to learn how to build this car properly so i know it inside and out as the rb25 was freshly rebuilt, if i can build back to stock, oposed to upgrade the car will last a lot longer spending alot less money.

Note: i'm not in it for the horsepower, just a safe running car that has very clean new stock parts.

I want it stock because right now it's running a massive turbo on a stock ecu (dangerous), 60% of all pipes are held with basic radiator clamps and old joiners with plastic pipes(dangerous), the blue pipes you see in the photo comingout the top of

my engine (not sure what they have inside of

them) are bad qaulity and crimping whilst not

being clamped, i have no boost control/wastegate

on this turbo (if you look at the stock turbo i have

the waste gate to remove pressure). Right now i

can't rev past 4k rpm because my turbo spools

uncontrollibly and the pipes wont hold, so i have

to pull over and attach the intercooler hoses back

on, but all the tuning shops i went too said i

should stay off boost completely until i get boost

control sorted. And if i tear everything that has

been done and go back to stock i'll have a rb25det

that can be red lined without worrying of fuel cut

or overboost, or my enginge blowing up. and i'll

know there wern't any shortcuts taken so things

wont break.

Ah understand. .you dont have to return it to stock to get it running right. No offense but sounds like you are randomly buying parts and hoping for the best outcome, as others have said, ask a fellow sau member to take a look at what bits you have /actually NEED before you waste anymore money

Also keep in mind that spacers for your wheels are illegal and defectable

Not sure why others on here are even suggesting you use them when other options are out there

pretty much dude, i bought a dump pipe that i'm not sure will bolt on to the exhaust, as it's 3" all the way through right now :( But i've seen stock exhausts on gumtree for 100 bucks so it's drivable

lol....just about any mod is defectable ...^^^ sorry Steven but this is probably the stupidest statement ever made on sau because half the cars on here are running spacers and I dont see wheels flying off everywhere do you????????????? :rofl:

that rubber hose going into the turbo mate...look all you really need to do is replace that and get a decent tunable ecu...and stop your intercooler pipes falling off...it should run fine...sell all that crap u just bought...sell those wheels that dont fit properly...put money towards ecu and a tune and you have a powerful car...easy ;)

Whats with the personal attack there artz? Do you have little weiner syndrome or maybe small man syndrome?

I merely pointed out the legalities of spacers NOT the safety side of things and unlike most mods the spacers can be seen from outside of the car

A very small amount of metal machined off the back of the wheels will fix clearence issues

Remember to add lots more question marks as it really helps get your point across

no personal attack meant mate, I just found it amusing that you point out the legalities of a small wheel spacer to someone running wheels that are too wide regardlessm and a top mount turbo with external gate etc etc...i think a 5 mm wheel spacer is the least of his problems dont you ;).. and all legalities aside what is more unsafe, a wheel spacer, or a wheel that rubs on the brake caliper....?

Of course he can / will get away with the spacers but my point is they can be seen from the outside of the car -cops look for these things- unlike his top mount / ext gate which is outta sight and out of mind and wont be heard unless he drives like a tool

have a permit for BOV, front mount and pod filter, althought right now i have a 3" straight pipe. Believe me man, if i could bolt that split dump i have to the straight pipe and be done i would, but i'm not sure if they'll fit as the dump looks 2"-2.5"

Exactly fix what you've got rather that buying more parts you don't need please we are trying to help you

right now i'm sure 50% of the pipes cause a vacum leak as they're barley held together with radiator clamps, which is why i have the new intercooler+ kit for the piping + silicon joiners and proper clamps, i'm pretty sure i could install the new intercooler and half the piping right now. It's just i want to make sure i have the parts for the stock turbo before i take it all apart and need to know where things were supposed to be so i can figure out everything that's been modified on my bay for the install.

Just mock fitting a few parts so i can get the general idea and i've noticed i don't have bolts from the dump pipe to the turbo or the turbo to the90 degree manifold, does anyone know where i can get them?

IMG_0423_zps8ea3bbd2.jpg

i found a blow off valve hiding under the exhaust manifold is it worth using? IMG_0428_zpse38b8476.jpg

also need to know what part that belongs betwen the throttle body and the intercooler piping, or can i cheat and use a silicon 90 degree bend? 24a71ac7-1e1d-458a-9234-daa2d9acb411_zps

my piping is held together with radiator clamps and has held over 40psi....your point is invalid...

if there is no bead around the end of your cooler piping that would be your problem not the clamps....

My pipingis old and rusty, the joiners are stretched and the hose clamps arn't on straight. Don't underestimate on how shit a job can be completed!

Any metric bolt store should be able to help you

There is a good one in the industrial area close to the intersections of collier road/guildford road bassendean

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
