Hey,

Ill be installing a GT2530 soon into my r32 but the turbo doesnt come with any water/oil lines or drain pipe.

Is it possible to use the stock lines/drain pipe etc from the standard rb20 turbo?

Is this advised, or should I get some new lines made up by Pirtek/Enzed?

If its better to get new lines, how exactly do i order a set for my car and the turbo?

Would they happen to have any information on the r32, and all i would need to bring is the 2530 for them to measure up the banjo bolts etc?

I have no clue on how to do this, any help would be awesome :O

Thanks

Patrick

The 2530 should go straight onto the stock stuff without a problem

Stock lines are the best thing for the job, strong and last the distance.

^^ eat that patrick!

haha awesome, thanks for clarifying that Ash :O

Next time i should learn to trust you more Abu, but then again you do own a r33 <3

Blame Ash if it doesn't fit, I just agreed with him :O

I can't be liable for MSN conversations!!

but seriously it should all bolt up fine, if your using the stock oil drain from you turbo you won't even need a new return hose but maybe change it anyways as they crack sometimes when removing

Not fail and fail at all.

They are strong, and durable. As long as you dont go bending them (why on earth you'd bend metal piping like that logically is beyond me)

After market ones are a waste of money. Ive had them before but only because i had too. If there was a way to use stock metal lines, i'd have done that no question

Are you people sure that the std R32 oil and water lines are straight fit for a Garrett ball bearing turbo ?

All Garrett GT25 based ball bearing turbos (GT2554R - GT3582R) use GT25 sized unions from memory , I thought the Hitachi's used on RB20 and RB25's were different - larger water fittings like T3 water cooled eg VLT T3 .

The thing is that these GT25 based BB cartridges are more compact in the bearing housing than Hitachi's so as you would expect they tend to use smaller unions .

You may want to search for pics of plumbing bits HKS supplied if you bought their GT2530 turbo as a bolt on "kit" .

A bit of homework here saves frustration later , cheers A .

hmmm well this has turned around quickly.

Good thing the turbo is still on its way from japan :banana:

So if i need new water/oil lines, would a kit like this suit the car+turbo?

I had a rb20 turbo and have now got a hks gt2540 and they are different fittings all round. The oil drain has smaller bolt flange, the water lines are the same size on each side for the inlet and outlet. The oil feed is like a 14mm. They are BSP fittings so getting them from enzed and the like are good but they won't have anything for the oil drain.

A kit like you have shown would be good but if you are using a "GT25,28" turbo then you want that kind of kit. Not the T3 T4 turbo fitting kit. Not sure if they are the same or not but I would probably say no.

Looking at the kit that same group from ebay have for the T25 t28 turbo they dont have a oil drain flange for the turbo so i dont know how they expect you to fit that.

Just remember Garrett turbos have different fittings.

Just look around. I spent prob $150 on all my lines and fittings. I didnt go the whole bling bling factor of the braided line as its not really that good. I got Blue R9 High Temp Hose. A bit cheaper than braided but entirely up to the person.

Good luck

      Diagnosing with and without is mostly the same. You need to know, as Duncan asked, and what conditions. Car hot, cold, idling, driving, if while driving what rpms, is when you're varying, or is it when held constant.   From there it's understanding what can be causing it. Starting with pretending all of the sensors are correct. Which means if it's going rich, why would it be thinking more air is going in than it is, and under what conditions. So things like if only when under boost, it could be be a loose intake piping joint. It's just understanding the system, and understanding when/how the problem occurs, and then if it's only occuring in specific scenarios, what can be causing it.   ECU specifically, if it's aftermarket, it'll have software you can use, for the Skylines on factory ECU, there is Nissan Consult you can use. Most ECUs have a way to get data from them.

      How do you go about diagnosing ecu's that don't have data logging, is it more experience at that point and just trying out things that you think will fix the issue?

      Stock O2 are basically useless beyond anything at stoich. Any misfire will also be seen as lean. The stock O2 also read a collective exhaust gas volume, not each cylinder. Sputtering and missing means not each cycle is firing, and some are. Which means even if rich, as shit, on cylinders as they miss, they'll read lean, but the cylinders that did fire will read rich, and combined, well, they can read anything from rich to lean.   Start with the basics before even going looking at sensor values.   Edit: I say the above, and that's coming from the guy with a few thousand dollars worth of scan tools sitting right beside me right now that I use frequently for my job.

      I’ve heard it can be done, you need to redrill the holes where they bolt to the chassis and apart from that they are the same. I’ve never done it or know anyone personally that has, it’s just something I’ve heard
