Hey all

Im tiding up my engine bay....

Has anyone smoothed a turbo housing before? as im looking at getting it hydro dipped.

What prep did you do? and what did you use?

Can the turbo housing be unbolted and bolted back up by myself with no hassles?

Compressor housings are easy to pull off.It is as simple as it looks. Undo the bolts on the back and carefully pull it off without hitting blades etc.

I don't really understand why you'd be cleaning up the engine bay and be focusing so much on the comp housing. In my mind the most I'd want to do is give it a hit with some heatproof paint. Silver, black, whatever colour suits

Smooth chrome housings look O.K on the right car, but usually these are engine bays that have many many dollars spent on them

Thanks mate. just wasnt sure if there was anything that could i dunno move, fall out etc....

Give the housing to hi octane coatings and get it ceramic coated, they polish and coat and it looks hot...

Polished chrome like colours or any colour you want, they do alot of the high profile cars...

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
