Rb26dett Braided Oil And Water Turbo Lines

Hi all

Im chasing some braided lines for my RB26dett and am curious as to if anyone knows of any kits?

I had a hunt around on the web but couldnt find any. I suspect the problem comes from the fact that the twin turbos share the same water source which would make it difficult.

Regards

Ian

I wouldnt mind a set when i do my turbos; does anyone have a take on the quality of the stock lines??? i ask cos in my s15, the water line cracked and leaked water while driving. It didnt do it on idle only on load so it took a long time to find the leak.

Most of the time it'll be custom only mate - most setups only going to braided lines with highmount because there is no factory lines on offer (as you would stick with factory lines if mounted in factory spots).

So each one is really 'made to order'.

The water line kit above, where does it run from? Is it from the banjo bolt that comes from the hardline that runs accross the top that gets water from both ends (The one that comes round the back of the motor and the silicon hose that runs infront of the CAS) or does it replace this hardline as well?

that seems like the cheapest option to get braided lines - thanks for the link!

I made up a kit using Earls fittings which replaced all the lines, including the hard water line along the top of the manifold...too expensive to make a kit and sell.

I would guess nearly $1000 of earls fittings and line there. does look very nice though. :(

    • Great info @tidi0x  Will definitely be handy for others and maybe me if I decide to keep the shit box H pattern.
    • Bumping this up one last time.... I wanted to follow up on the clutch slave issue. I realized that what the issue comes down to is the pocket is flat milled, and the cylinder does not want rest flat. So in order to mount it correctly you will need to make a spacer for the fingers so the cylinder is floating. I took two plates of aluminum, drilled some holes and was good. I did still need to make the relief cuts in the bell housing, as even with the spacer the bleed section still interferes. The OE bell housing the mounting holes are raised from the housing.       
    • If the event in USA goes ahead will be interesting as it seems the rules will get more cars over here. Apparently the track is laguna seca too. Yeah s15, if I get a the lower dash trims, centre console and change front cross member to standard LCA position will fit clubsprint. See how rules are as i would rather do complete widebody than a bolt on flare to run the 295 with proper clearance.
    • If the car is legal height I can't see it being an issue. Found a thread on reddit that might offer some insight.   I got a ticket from a copper in QLD for my S15 being too low. They had this wheel thing on a stick that they put under the car and it hit my exhaust. Anyhow went to an exhaust shop to get the exhaust tucked up/hung a little higher and I wound the coilovers up a smidge. Don't think I even had to go back to the police station unlike when I got defected for having a carbon bonnet when I brought the S15 from the ACT to QLD and had to replace it and then rock up at a police station and have a yougish female officer who knew nothing about cars confirm that I had changed bonnets. Should have just painted the carbon bonnet yellow to match the rest of the car lol
    • Id like to race in the US i think alot of those track would suit me   For the s15? Youd be stuck between club sprint and the new Open Am wouldnt you depending on how much interior you have left in
