Rb25 turbo coolant line

[Eager]

Hi

im new here and this is my first query. I have a r34 gtt and it's had a hks 2530 turbo fitted. But the coolant line, I believe to be the return line from turbo to the rear of the engine has been fitted a bit rough and ready

it currently has a piece of braided hose coming from the turbo joining the standard rigid pipe by form of a jubilee clip, just beside the exhaust downpipe. It's leaking slightly at this crude join. I have ordered a single braided return line but I'm curious about fitting. What way does the new braided hose fit to the block ? Or what way do I delete the factory rigid line and fit my braided one instead

 

thanks guys

If it's the same braided line as for an R33 RB25DET, the new line has a barbed fitting at the engine end. This barbed fitting goes into the factory rubber hose behind the head, where the stock hard line connects. You'll have fun getting it connected with the engine in the car.

Have a look at the left-hand line in this kit - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Turbo-Oil-Water-Line-Kit-Nissan-RB20DET-RB25DET-w-Garrett-T3-16mm-Water-bolt/292146127991?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908110712%26meid%3D38d957ab31cb40328fd6b7f2e22bf0bc%26pid%3D100677%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D19%26sd%3D263026535321&_trksid=p2385738.c100677.m4598

Cool Ye that's the end the hose company said I need

it looks a complete ball ache. But surely possible, plenty buy braided hoses for these things ?

Jubilee clip job or one of those spring clips holding the standard one in?

[GeeDog]

Normal hose clamp I think - probably what you call a jubilee clip. It's been a long time since I changed mine.

Going to lend a bore scope camera from work to get a look, there is next to no visibility as is from the top anyway

i can now see why it's been bodged rather than done right
