Hello guys

I am more after pictures here, I bought a Mamba GTX3076 turbo kit, which came with a universal Oil and Water line kit, I can see that I will need to replace the oil feed fitting in the block to adapt to AN fitting (-4 I think) but I didn't get it in the kit, anyone know where I can get one from in Adelaide?

Also, anyone show what they have done with their water lines, I got solid ones which are about 20cm long, with barbed engine fitting, I cannot see how they can join into any where.

I would be after peoples pics with Kinugawa kits if possible, as they are similar.

Cheers

Um, just about any hydraulic bits supplier. Enzed and Pirtek, Shipways, probably a bajillion others. Outlaw speed shop, OG speed shop etc etc (depending on who's still n business - I haven't looked lately!). Just about any of the turbo workshops (Turbo Tune, MTQ, etc). This is just off the top of my head.

All you need to know is the thread you want on the other end.

If you follow the water line, it mates to a rubber hose behind the head.. it's a slart to get to, but you'll manage... if your hands are too big, you can loosen the gearbox mount & tailshaft bracket and jack up the gearbox - this gives you another 1cm of clearance (that's what I did to get to it)... I think on the R34 NEO motors however it's a metal line all round. On the R33 RB25 and R32 RB20DET it's a stupid rubber hoses with a spring clip.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
