R32 Gtr Long Term Love, Now Project

Welded an elbow onto the compressor housing and then built the intercooler pipe from the engine bay to the original hks one that was in there

[r32-25t]

The intake pipe was made up and the blow off valve pipe modified so they will recirculate.

also took the blow of valves out of the car and swapped over to a set of bolt on gfb ones and then put all the bracket and etc back on so they’re ready to fit back in the car 

[r32-25t]

Blow of valves are back on

Could have saved money and not run any BOVs, more money for bags and bitches lol.

Also dose is better than whoosh noises, and you're not running a BW, it's  it going to explode with the wrong shaft RPM or a bit of pressure against the compressor when the throttle is shut ?

Also Dose Pipe Sutututu: (note, this is not a BW)

yyyeaahhh mmaateee kakafuarkingdu.. 

Not sure why I'm not making any boost?

Overspeeding and compressor surge at high wheel speeds are both things known to break turbos since god knows when - they are why blow off valves exist, and why compressor maps are done with a cut off point which is earlier than where the flow completely chokes.   These phenomenon have been recommended to avoid since they have been breaking turbos since WAY before EFRs existed, and have broken pleeeenty of non-EFRs since well after they were released.   

Telling people that it is only an issue for EFRs is pretty bullshit advice for people you are giving it to, and also a pretty major exaggeration of the fragility of EFRs.

Calm down @Lithium you clearly don't get a joke, also that turbine snapped because my motor exploded and put chunks of metal through the motor, not because it was oversped.

It was a joke, same way you and your buddies tell the world Precision turbos are junk and you need 15 oil filters.

There wasn't anything put in there to make it seem like a joke otherwise I would had just lolled.   No worries about my level of calm, I just don't like seeing bad advice being left unquestioned... if it wasn't clear to me as a joke then it may not be to others so had to make it clear that it's very wrong - joke or otherwise.  

I have no idea what that last line is about, but you appear to be confusing me with someone else.  I have opinions and friends have opinions, they sometimes overlap and sometimes they don't - whatever you are talking about there is nothing to do with me.

We tried multiple things for a power steering reservoir and I wasn’t happy with any of it so I fix it permanently 

cant look ugly now can it lol

Nah I don’t really want dose, always like the way the gtr valves sounded 

[r32-25t]

Picked this up it the electric power steering pump out of an astra

and after modifying the bracket to it’ll sit flat I worked out I’m going to sit it about here haven’t mounted it yet just sat it there and went to the fitting shop 

[sneakey pete]

Make sure its wired with big enough wiring to suit, we recorded up to 60A draw from it at high loads.

[r32-25t]

It’s not even a foot from the battery so if I keep the same gauge wiring that’s already attached then I believe it will be fine 

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Does that one have a vehicle speed input? At least you won't throw PS belts anymore (if you ever did).

I kept spitting PS belts when the motor was spun close to 8.5k on the limiter at a skidpan. Had to pop it back on twice then ended up lowering thr rev limiter (no fun in that).

[r32-25t]

No it’s just stays on and I’ll use the factory solenoid on the rack to change the power assistance.

i never had belt throwing issues, it’s just for room and trying to tidy up the bay a little 

[r32-25t]

Took everything off and sent it away for coating, it’s all come back now and I only got a photo of the manifold while it was off the car 

[WantGTR]

Fuark. When I was doing mine I was wondering if I should do it like this or black. I bitched out and went black.

Hurry up and get this fitted so I can hate you even more haha

[r32-25t]

I was going to do black and then I thought everybody does black now and I’m going to do something different 

[r32-25t]

Got it all back together, now plumbing steering and boost control 

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Going to need new coils to support that big huffa

Please throw that igniter pack into the bin!

[r32-25t]

Those coils are f**ked, they cant handle idle for more then 2mins before miss fires start appearing
