Guys

I've just put an RB25 turbo on my RB20. Though i've run into two problems:

The first is the line to the actuator. On the RB20 turbo there is a spot to connect a hose on the comp cover that ran to the actuator. On the RB25 turbo it is not there, its plugged in. So what do i connect the hose from the actuator to?

My other problem is the outlet from the turbo. The RB25 outlet is bigger and the holes don't match up. Is it possible and as easy as getting that part from an RB25? The part that is a litle 90 deg bend. Or will the other end be too large to fit into the rubber section of the pipe work?

Cheers

1.) you can take the compressor cover of the turbo off and drill and tap a nipple to where the rb20 one is.

or do like the R33's and drill and tap a niple in to the intercooler pipe that goes from turbo to intercooler.

2.) you need to buy the first piece of intercooler pipe from an R33 (commonly refered to as the elbow)

or you need to drill the holes out on the rb20 one to match the rb25 turbo.

be careful.

they need to be drilled out all the way to the edge without breaking through.

    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
