mate i got my boost guage hosing from super cheap autos$ 3.45, nothing but the good stuff for my car , its good its cheap its not always called 'boost pipe' washer hose , u name it just look, in the piping section , cheap shit stuff paying 30$ for a bit of piping

Hmm, I was assuming that Josh didn't want to have his engine bay look like it was bought from the $2 shop:p

Better simple black hose than getting blue/red/fluro yellow hose and having the engine bay looking like a riceboy explosion ;).

you get that rice.

bash it! Go Gradenko! Bash Bash Bash!!!

I'm with gradenko on this one. black is good. besides - for an accurate boost line I'd prefer a semi-rigid hose anyway. blue neon shit is too flexible.

braided line is arround 40-80 per meter for earls. the fitting are arround 30-80 per fitting depending on the size and shape.

ive done all my lines, fuel, oil, water (for turbo) oil cooler. looks great but cost a fortune. i have some left over for another item i want to add.

tried to upload a pic but doesnt seem to want to work. but anyone from perth is welcome to look at my car if you want to c what it looks like. the car is sitting at bently auto atm getting a jun style kit fitted. so if your near there an know someone whom works there feel free to drop by and have a look.

    • 1. Factory knock sensors for now, honestly the RB26 OEM knock sensors seem ok as they're flat response instead of resonant type but they appear to be internally grounded to the block. If I do replace the sensor it would just be to get ones that are not internally grounded so a differential input can be used to reject common mode noise. Definitely plan on fixing this as a part of the tuning process. 2. Never deliberately induced knock, though I guess I could try that experiment if I really wanted to. 3. All of this is basically on a stock engine + ECU, only modification is HKS GTIII-SS turbos and a Nismo plenum. Currently I run it with the wastegate solenoid unplugged so it won't try to raise boost past wastegate pressure.
    • After being peer-pressured into paying $100 for the MW remakes, got BO6 on XBox Game Pass. I think that's worth it.
    • That's a given!  Bit hard to powdercoat it properly without removing them! 😁
    • No detail on compressor or turbine sizes, which doesn't help with housing size selection with that kit. However, from SR20DET mucking about and money torching perspective, a GTX2860R Gen 2 w/ 0.64 (46mm inducer) will do ~260kW on E85 about 1.5bar of boost. All in before 3000pm, which cause a gearbox to shatter. Now imagine the same turbo, on a modern motor with an extra 0.5L of displacement, and heaps of cam timing adjustability (not an on/off affair like the Nissan shit boxes). If this was my car (which I would never own or consider buying, ever!), I would go for a nice twin scroll setup, and a G30-660. Gates plumbed back, no silly shit. Lean on the cam timing, big displacement to create a flat-ish torque curve.
