Ok so I've come to the conclusion that there's no way I can get to this hose. I've decided I'll run another hose to bypass this one, should be much easier than trying to replace this one! >.<

Hi bro.... gee ya gunna hate it as i know its a prick... its a steel pipe section that runs behind the head yeah? It comes in a whole section with 2 pipes.. there is a nut in the center!!

That hose is a prick to replace [emoji21] i just replaced mine while i had the head off so it was super easy [emoji5] i actually replaced that entire metal coolant line and the rubber hose section with a braided line which can be purchased from most autobarn stores [emoji106]

Ok so I couldn’t find anywhere on a public holiday to get braided hose. Instead, I did find the perfect shaped heater hose for my application! Funnily enough, the hose I used was for the intake manifold of a 1992-1996 Magna. Go figure. 

So, as mentioned in my second post, I’ve opted to completely bypass the original route for this hose. I’ve now run a length of hose from the original source at the back of the intake manifold, down the back of the head neatly tucked away, and I then used rotary tool to cut the hard coolant line to the turbo, slip on the new hose and clamped her up. 

Pictures speak a thousand words. Might not be the ideal solution but it’ll work for me ?

After posting, I realised one of the pictures I uploaded was of those hose way in the air when I was fiddling around with placement - it didn’t stay at the top of the bay! :P I was able to route it down behind the head :)

Did you flare the hard line where you cut it? If not solid chance it will leak

No sir, although I definitely should have! As this is a temporary solution I’ve opted to put a few layers of stretched silicon tape on the end, on which I slid the hose on and it was super tight and only went on with a little bit of rubber grease. I then clamped  her down good. I totally acknowledge this isn’t great long term and I’ll aim to sort out something more permanent when I next have a decent play under the bonnet.

Good thinking, might be a good idea to wrap the end near the dump pipe with some sort of heat proof material or make a heat shield emoji106.png

Cheers - yeah that’s smart I might see what I can dig up  

 

 

fuuarkk.. fun times :(

I've had that split on my current car (old motor) ended up replacing it with EFI hose and ran a braided china-spec ling long dim line to the turbo.

New motor has proper 4-ply eBay silicon hose to the braided water line lololol...

Someone come swap me their BMW 335i for my entire car/motor

Same here I used a piece of good quality EFI hose .

For the record I would have used a couple of OE quality EFI hose clamps as well .

You can get at the mongrel on an R33 by removing the three bolt IAC housing and some of the wiring loom brackets in that area .

A bit late, but I replaced that hose on the Stagea (RB25DET NEO) the other week. Prick a job to get out, I used really long nose pliers and long nose bent pliers. To get to the clamp behind the engine I went horizontally from the intake side. I replaced the hose with Gates 8mm universal Z bend from Repco and new clamps.

I bought a seven piece radiator hose kit on Ebay, trying to workout where all these hoses go :/

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
