So I’m gathering up bits to help the install of my parts

im fitting top mounted 3076r gen2 to a 6 boost, v band setup, rb25 neo

has anyone used this kit for lines ? Or could they possibly advise on what I need, or lengths required

or am I better specifying the lengths to a hose supply shop and making them fit. I gather from Garrett website I need a 1mm restrictor, 4an oil feed, oil drain large enough to freely flow but it doesn’t tell me what size water pipes to use?

cheers

Don't use a kit, especially the mamba ones. Buy all the lines and fittings yourself and make it all, it's really not hard.

-4 AN oil feed.
-8 or 10AN oil drain.
-6 AN coolant lines

And what sort of fittings do the lines need on the ends ? Banjo for water in and water out? M10 ? I know the water return end needs a special fitting to fit behind the head

is oil feed from the block banjo too? I know it’s screw in fitting on the turbo  

 

Echoing what's above, I used a mamba/kinugawa kit back a couple of years ago now and it "worked" but wasn't the best. While it didn't leak or really let me down, the lengths didn't really match up with my setup which made it a bit of a messy install.

+1 for buying your own fittings and lines. It's cheaper, generally easier, and you can pick the fittings/colours if you're into that too.

Whatever you want, whatever fits. Lot of people use thread to -an adaptors out of the block, I used a banjo one for the oil feed on my block because my manifold was in the way. Was going to use banjos' on my turbo core but wouldn't work with the plugs in the way, etc.

Used 200 series -6 for water lines made it up myself at home, same for oil feed but in -4. Pretty easy to cut and assemble in the shed.

 

Edit: also, water return: it returns both behind the head and infront of it to the radiator return. I and a lot of people have just not bothered to reconnect the one behind the head. Not sure how exactly it returns on Non 26 heads, but for the 26 coolant elbow you can take out the existing tube fitting, tap it with a M10 thread and install a M10 to -6 adaptor which looks really neat.

Is there a nicer method of water return on the rb25 ?

i know the fixed rigid pipe runs into a rubber hose behind the head, just do the same ? With a braided hose and a barb type fitting ? Or what’s the method when doing a whole new turbo install 

other lines I’m ok with

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.

    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
