Oh yeah get a braided oil feed line

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.

Agreed. It would be cheaper to just fix the dodgy upgrades than to revert to stock. It would take less time and bleeding knuckles

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

[StevenCJR31]

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?????????????

[ARTZ]

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

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

[vorse]

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

[StevenCJR31]

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....?

[StevenCJR31]

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"

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.

[ARTZ]

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....

[iTwix]

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?

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

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?

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
