Putting A Turbo Back In

[azzafreddy]

about 2 months ago i decided to get the turbo removed from my rb25det, due to p plate laws.. after getting this done i discovered the car does not have anywhere near as much power (sorry all the people that advised me against this i should of listened and you were right), in fact the compression is so low that my girlfriends barina has more up and go, so about 2 weeks ago i decided its time to stop embarrasing myself and put the turbo back in. i bolted the turbo in no problems at all, took me bout 20 mins i thought it would be easy, but i failed to take into consideration 2 copper pipes coming out of the turbo its self and a thicker (screw on) pipe, im not sure where the 2 copper pipes go i cant find anywhere around the turbo area where they would connect to, also they look exactly the same and (apparently) they do different things (one for water one for oil) so i wouldnt want to get this wrong and do some permanent damage to something. i found the spot where the thicker pipe screws onto but i could not locate anywhere to attach the skinny bendable copper pipes around the area where the turbo sits, i do have car ramps if its easier to get to from underneith.. surley someone on this forum would of done this themselves or know of someone who has done this before, would really appreciate a little help.. thanks..

this is what is in place of the turbo at the moment

in the photos below the RED circles are the copper pipes that im talking about, where i dont know the location of..

the GREEN circles are another thing, in the first photo im unsure where that yellow rubber tube goes as there is no location that i can see around the area of the turbo where it would plug onto, in the second photo theres also another cut off yellow rubber tube that has been cut off and had a screw put in it to prevent flow behind the block near the clutch fluid bottle, i dont know what this goes to either, if anyone can help thanks very much..

do i have to drain my oil to screw in the thick pipe? because it comes from the bottom of the engine and has been replaced with a screw in end..

Perhaps you should take it to whoever it was that removed it, and get them to re install the turbo.

The big one at the bottom is the oil drain, the one on the opposite side of the housing to it, is the oil inlet.

The remaining pipe will be one of two water lines, but there should be two of them, one inlet and one out let.

The hose in the green circle is a boost line that activates the wastegate actuator. I'd say it should be connected to the one by the clutch reservoir that's been sealed off with a screw.

yeah ive been thinking about that, i just want to do it as cheap as possibole the guy i took it to was a bit of a rip. might be able to sort something out with him.. thanks heaps..

both of those copper pipes attach onto the block, the oil line (the one with the curl in it) sits towards the middle of the motor - the water pipe shown sits towards the rear of the motor (when you attach the bracket for this, it should line up to its location). there is another water line that wraps around from the other side of the motor.

here are pics ive got of mine, they arent the best but i hope it helps:

[JonnoHR31]

join yellow to yellow and bolt the other pipes into the only spot they physically go, oil and water are different size fittings so you cant mix them up

[mosquitocoils]

Isn't that thing with the yellow jacket over it, the boost pressure sender for the factory boost gauge?

F***ing LOL! See something new every day.

[Lukas 33]

Either way, turbo or not. The car is stil registered as a turbo car yes? Isn't that not a no no

[Sheriff Wan]

Im with PM-R33 on this one!

I cant believe you actually did this...

Please just wait! On the other hand it makes for good entertainment

[PM-R33]

Thats what these forums are for half the time, a good laugh

[jrm]

Is it just me or is every second-post on here the last few weeks from some nubtastic P-plater with a 'great idea'?.. It's gotta be school holidays

One near the clutch fluid is the nipple that should run to the factory boost sensor, really no need for that one to have been disconnected.

The yellow hose running off the wastegate will need to go to the factory boost solenoid which is behind the intake filter box. From memory the solenoid isn't a simple in/out configuration and had a t piece thrown in, just go on ebay and get a $30 turbotech boost controller instead.

And yes you'll probably need to drain oil and coolant before removing any blocking screws from the block.

This ones going straight to the Trophy room!

[allthewaytotheskyline]

quite q bright idea actually..blocking it off.

otherwise this is pure entertainment.

[abacusnow]

Hahaha

on a positive note - the blocked rear is an OP6 housing... would be good as a part of a hiflow one day.

Unless that nipple is running the wastegate and the solenoid has been by-passed for some reason.

Wastegate sensor coming off the plenum after the intake throttle on the stock setup would be a little unusual, but then again wonders never cease
