Hi everyone...not sure if this has been posted, but i am interested in finding out what fittings i need to install braided lines on my a stock r33 rb25det turbo. Replacing the turbo with another stock one and dont want to run the old copper pipes. Im getting the lines from a mate who had them on his silvia for an aftermarket turb's and just need to know what fitting size/type (part no.s etc will suffice) ill need to put on the lines for my engine-turbo setup. Any photo's of a setup with the lines on from anyone would also be much apreciated (as this will make my removal/install much easier).

Thanks

Brendan

I'd love to help man, but I don't have much experience with the stock RB turbos...

They are weird sizes tho, not like Garrett where everything is -3 or 14 x M1.5

Try taking the existing lines into a fittings place (some sorta specialised hardware store) and find flare fittings that match the ends of the stock lines.

correct... oil feed is M12x1.5 IIRC :P

and its generally a fine thread feeding from the block, rb25 out of the block is 12x1.25 for oil feed and 14x1.5 for water feed.. well it is on the one i'm doin at the moment!

into the turbo might be 1.5 i'm not sure.. never bothered to check that one lol

Why bother with the cost or complexity??? Especially with a stock turbo.

BTW, braided lines are more fragile, will need repair/replacment much sooner, create more oppertunities to leak, less effective and much more prone to failure than the stock steel lines...

Save your $400 and buy somthing usefull.

^ Agreed

The factory lines will be far more reliable than braided. I had steel lines made for my highmount rather than go braided

Cheers everyone for the help...the braided lines were more of a back up, incase i kinked the factroy steel lines when removing or installing the turbo. And lazy_bastard how much were the steel lines you had made up?

Thanks guys

Brendan

    • Yeah one of the first things I out in when I started having catch can filling up issues. Still prefer to empty 1-2 times a track day rather than every session
    • You'll find this link is probably more useful  Performance Turbochargers - Garrett - G GT GTX GTW Series Turbo TBG G35 1150 map may not even get added to my list depending on how it looks, the G35 1050 already is a mixed bag for making the numbers you would expect from the compressor map due to mismatch - I don't know how another 10lb/min of compressor flow is going to make that any better.   I've left out others for similar reasons as it's already getting quite big.   In terms of Precision, provide me with legit compressor maps for them and I'll do my thing   I'll add some more of the newer Xona Rotor options are they're pretty boss, I'd take a 68mm Xona over a G35 "1150" any day of the week - or Precision for that matter.
    • Ahh got it. Well maybe install a drain for the catch can somewhere down low and accessible like a wheel well too....
    • Before you blow your car up, have you checked you've made all the correct modifications to the wiring if you're still using the RB20DE loom?   Some things to look at: The pin used for the map sensor on the RB25DET, is the same pin used on the RB20DE for the Ring Gear Crankshaft Position Sensor, no idea what you've got it plugged into now. The turbo pressure control valve solenoid you're talking about on the RB25DET, the same pin is used for the Variable Air Intake Control Valve on the RB20DE.   The factory manual has the wiring pinouts in it for you to check everything. It also has the diagnostics process to read codes out. In addition, there's a great table that shows what sensors and what actuators not functioning will relate to which signals. And Nissan confirm the as everyone else has from experience, the Solenoid being disconnected won't cause a fuel cut. However, the turbo pressure sensor being missing / wrong, WILL cause a fuel cut. https://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual?fsm=Skyline%2FR34-Workshop-Manual-English.pdf
    • I've been hunting info on the G Series II - this is best I have found so far(Link below). Still waiting on the G35-1150 comp map, kind of very keen   So how do we go about getting precision on that little table of yours ?   https://turbosbytm.com/sites/default/files/product/technical-info/Garrett-G-Series-II-Product_Flyer 25 30 35_1.pdf
