Help Me To Feed The Turbo

[MirKz]

nope took it to a workshop

[gatty]

Gatty, fitting of most of the gear cost me ~$1200 at perFOURmance on Algas St...that was for turbo, braided lines, dump-pipe and putting all the intercooler piping in (I fitted the cooler) It was a pretty simple jigsaw puzzle for them, supply the bits and they make it fit

[gatty]

that sounds pretty cheap thanks for the info dan

im heading down the path to turbo my r33 gts type s, rb25de aswell, i was wondering if someone could tell me what exactly i need to buy to make it work.

so far ive got the gtst manifold and crossover pipe with a bov, and ive just upgraded my clutch to a extreme heavy duty ceramic

do i need to upgrade the brakes? im pritty sure the type s came with a stock lsd im not sure?

i just need a list so that i can start collecting parts as they come available on the forums.

cheers, michael

^^ there is a 'short' list and a long list of stuff you could do when upgrading

some of the must haves:

turbo + manifold etc

intercooler of some type + piping

injectors (stock GTST ones will do)

some type of air/fuel control for tuning etc (engine mangement)

optionals:

fuel pump

brakes

aftermarkt BOV etc + other ricer stuff

quick list i made up - i am basing this on low PSI due to no internal changes to the motor

[smurf80]

If your doing injectors you may as well do the pump while your at it. Also a factory plumb back BOV will work just as well no need to spend cash on a expensive aftermarket one.

hey guys, the plan in a nutshell:

'bolt-on' a turbo to stock RB25DE engine - run about 5-7 PSI for now

Plan:

Buy exhaust manifold, turbo and replace current manifold

It should run with a boost controller and FMIC

Problem:

I need to feed the oil/water lines to/from the turbo - rather than getting holes tapped into the engine block etc the plan is to pick up the lines from other locations under the bonnet. I've had a look and can't find any info on exactly where would be suitable places to tap into the oil/water lines with success.

Someone mentioned ages ago that some Greedy/Trust bolt on packages took the oil/water from elsewhere - yet I can't find any info online etc on how exactly they do it.

Thanks guys

BTW: if anyone can see any problems with the plan let me know and we can chat about it

I am pretty sure all the stuff is already there. They are just blanked off with bolts instead of having the banjo fitting. The oil return is the large one on the exhaust side above the sump. Just get the right fitting and away you go. Then there should be a bolt to undo on the block just above that half way up. That's the oil feed.

Just get some braided lines made up for the water and away you go.
