Installing Hks Gt-rs Questions: Banjo Bolt Position, Copper Washers, Oil Drain Gasket..

[Andi]

I just took the car for a quick run, its sounding good, drives fine. Damn the induction is LOUD, I like it.

There was abit of smoke/steam still coming out of the engine bay and upon closer inspection its directly where the dump bolts up to the turbo. I think it may be the Ultrablue 77B thats burning up, I put it on the dumpside gasket cos thats what the guy at the exhaust shop told me to do. Said it was sensor safe and should be fine. :paranoid:

have a look around for something called a 'thermo sleve'.

any place that sells things like heat wrap should have it.

[MANWHORE]

hey andi, can you tell me something.

what rpm do you get 10 psi at if you start from stationary and launch it.

Man thermal wrapping is expensive, I just unpluged the line and relocated. Much to my surprise it wasn't much coolant pissing out at all so its not bad. Its just sitting on the same metal lines the oil feed is. I just realised I didn't attach the picture in the last post, Manwhore can you have a look at this and tell me if its okay for the lines to sitting on this pipe?

Hey Manwhore I would like to do it but I can't atm as the car doesn't have wheels with proper tyres on it. I'll shall be getting new wheels next week and I'll let you know then.

That line hitting the aircon pipe looks fine to me, just put a bit of plastic or rubber insulation around it just to be safe, by the way are you using the lines that came with the brand new gt-rs kit? or did you buy the gt-rs second hand and got lines custom made up?

[MANWHORE]

awesome, let us knwo then.

If not much coolant came out, then that means you MIGHT have air in the system. If it was me, i'd bleed it. Even after I drained the radiator, when I undid the bajo, about 4-4.5 L came out.

Also, for that line, you're not really 'hitting' hey. It's just touching. that one is insulated. Think about how much heat it gets when near the dump

nizmo, the lines are from the GT-RS kit, it was second hand but its what came with the kit originally.

Manwhore, its just resting against it. Like theres a natural bend in the line and that pipe stops it from doing its full bend, the coolant feed is sitting on that line as well though you can't see it in the picture.

I'll bleed the system, the amount of coolant that came out was probably wasn't much because as long as I was holding the braided line up it no more would come out until I bent the line lower allowing coolant to spill out.

The whole time the engine is running and rocking from side to side, the S/S line will rub thru the alloy a/c line

I will give it 1 week maybe 2 before your A/C stops working. Best to space it away or put a rubber sleeve on it
