y the hell would i need to do homework on turbos that blow after a few thousand km's?? My turbo works fine. I think you need to do research my friend as to why ur stuff keeps blowing up :)

Maybe its similar to my turbo recently declared totaly screwed after 2/3000 K's :Oops:

Had the turbo high flowed and changed from roller bearing to normal oil bearing.

TROUBLE IS the oil supply line was not modified to supply a lot more oil to suit the oil bearings!

The std oil supply line has a restriction in the banjo fitting on the block to suit the reduced amount of oil required for roller bearing. :P

So I have now drilled out the banjo restricter so it will get full flow when it goes back on soon after being refitted with the largest flowing T4 comp wheel.

But I have retained the std small turbine housing with the backcut wheel for good low down response - hope it wont choke, but have a full 3" custom dump to 3" cat and 3" S/S exhaust. :)

LOL INASNT listen here if you actually used your 300rwkw on the track strip or even the street you would realise that stuff breaks maybe not turbos but other items.:P

or you are driving it hard and its jsut not making more than 200 rwkw to break anything :)

/me grabs his keyboard and raises it in the air :upurs:

No shit other things break, but we are talking about turbos and bearing faliure here and you dont need to drive it at the strip or track for that to happen!!

And even if my car was making 100rwkw its still more than urs does boxing.gif  

Peace Out :D

ahaha lolz, he was bagging me at mas for not getting a line, and he is NA!!!! ahahahaha the irony is sweet

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
