acetone, shellite or isopropyl alcohol is very very good for that sort of stuff if you can get your hands on any. I find petrol tends to leave a residue.

are any of those harmful to the engine or combustion?

You gotta take all of the pipes out and core and flush em with somthing like acetone, something that doesnt have an oil content in it. Acetone will turn into vapor in like a couple of seconds so it leaves no residue and no oil.

Yeah id use shellite. Im a cleaning nut..even I wouldnt really bother doing it unless you gotta take it apart...If your engine is healthy there shouldnt be anything in there. I guess over time a little oil residue may build up. I can only really see a point in flushing the core as its the only part that will create enough resistance for residue to build up...

nope they all go bang when you put a match to them :sick:. As said above Iso or acetone/acetate are the best things leave no residue at all so no worries :(

I just read in the latest hot 4s tech handbook that you should just use degreaser and rinse well. I have just done this but haven't driven it yet. Hope this will be ok?

    • GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?    
    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
    • Should have asked what is the car?
    • I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
