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

    • Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.
    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
