hey guys,

Need to borrow a bit of knowledge from some RB experts :) . Over the last few months in my spare time ive been building up a 4WD RB25det for my R32 GTS4. I have installed a greddy type front feed plenum and its made things a little extra confusing for me now that i need to connect all the water lines.

in this picture you can see the turbo water line coming around the back of the head. I am using one from an RB20det, notice it splits into too lines. I'm unsure if i need both the lines now that im using the greddy, so im guessing i might end up blocking the top one off? For now, you can see i have connected the bottom line to the closest connection, just for science. Anyone know where it/they are supposed to go?

in this picture you can see another part that needs connecting... any clues?

in this picture you can see the last 3 water connections i need to complete... the green plastic one and the other 2 metal ones. I have blocked off the small top metal one as instructed by this tutorial from strich9. this leaves me with another 2 lines i need to connect...

help would be greatly appreciated ;)

2nd pic and last pic big fitting are heater hoses. Green plastic one isnt a water connection, its the knock sensor

thanx, i cant remember where to join the knock sensor then? also im guessing to join the heater hoses its going to be a little different than normal due to the fact its goin in a 32.

And the first pic, needs to go into the back of ur intake.

Mine actually doesnt have a T peice. its just a straight pipe, form the intake around the back to the turbo.

Probably would be better to do it this way, as the heater has flow from either side of the block. With the T peice you are just tapping the heater system into the turbos watercooling system.

yes this is what i suspected. If the rb25's only have one line then im sweet to block of that top one. cheers

connect that large one back to the water/oil cooler.

As Adriano said green one = knock sensor

not sure which large one your talking about?

i cant connect my turbo water line to the intake as the greddy doesnt have anywhere for me to connect it. on this tutorial it isnt very clear but it appears he has tapped the turbo water line into the small nipple on the heater hose connection? i assume this would be ok as the water would be the same temperature all around the block? or is there a cooler source of water i can tap into?

Remember this below? It's the turbo water line that went into the back of the stocker plenum! (yes, we gotta hook it up!)

Use our bit of fuel line, and some ingenuity, and extend the water line to the nipple below. You'll see what I mean. It's hiding.

Hi mate, yea you could probably get away with it. possibly check with someone whos done it, or someone more experienced to be sure.

    • As well as being risky WRT tipping off anyway. Yeah, I wouldn't expect it to move. Just measure from the rear one to the front one on the good side, then measure that same length on the wrecked side. You will find the notches in the pinchweld, and the jacking pad. Just spray a spot of marker paint or something there.
    • but any other area than the bulge you are talking about will just cave in then? The front driver side is pretty bent so I don't know if that will work the way it is now. I can still kinda make out where that bulge is/was but it looks like the position of it also changed due to all the mistreatment? Hard to tell
    • Absolutely. Look very closely at the photo (of yours) that I took my second snip of. See how the sill is thicker material right behind the pinchweld, where the two notches are? That is the factory reinforced area for lifting. That pad is supposed to carry the weight. The factory jack (go look at it, and how it interfaces with the car at the pinchweld) shows you exactly how the load is carried from the car to the jack to the ground.
    • if need be I guess I will, yeah. Just to be clear, it's okay to use the sill area around the jacking points for loading, meaning the actual pinch weld or jacking point just sits in the slot without taking on any weight?
    • No. No it can't. It will absolutely end badly. There's no need for it, so there's no need to create the risk. Mitigating a risk that didn't need to be there in the first place is even dumber than mitigating a risk that could be engineered out in the first place. And the risk has already been engineered out.
