hey guys im looking at different options for my vl with a rb25. i was thinking of getting custom made intercooler piping

however if i was to get a rb25 kit and modify pieces of it what would you guys think i would have to mod or would i be better with a vl turbo kit

I bought a RB25 intercooler kit and fitted it upto my HR31 with a RB25. A few extra silicon hoses and it fits, i turned my cooler upside down so the tanks were at the top and it works fine. I didn't cut any holes or do anything to the body of the car, my pipes went between the headlights. Might be different for a VL though.

we just about Build your CAR JOEL,

do you need NEW post every time.

haha you almost have haha i jsut keep running into problems as i go along but much appreciated of everyones help i have got so much more done in the last 2 months than i did in 2 years of it being off the road

and ads i will try that its mainly the comp housing thats the diff between vl turbo and rb25 and i think the rb25 will work the best just may need extendin in some areas to accomodate for the larger engine bay.

My intercooler piping is off a vl so I'd say it will work

vl turbo kit or rb25 kit?

and ads thanks again considering i have a little bit more room in my engine bay it should be a little bit easier haha

The piping kit should work on different coolers as long as the inlet/outlet on the intercooler is in the same spot on both. My GK Tech cooler has 3" inlet and outlet at the bottom on each side FYI

yeah but the gktech cooler is smaller so the piping is suited to that however i found a piping kit with the same set up on the for a larger cooler

Looking at a stock engine bay on a VL turbo, I would personally tackle the job by means of an off the shelf VL cooler kit along with the addition of some cleverly positioned silicon joiners.

It appears just about everything is in the right spot, just needing to extend or reposition a couple of sections to suit the difference in motor/intake design and the same for the turbo (comp housing as stated and position).

Was a decent question IMO, simple resolve too. Best of luck.

hey guyys got a vl turbo intercooler piping kit yesterday most of it fits up well oulet from cooler to throttle body connects up fine with one cut to make it fit the standard crossover pipe however to compressor housing is a diffrent story. i have 2 ways of doing cutting a hole just above the chassis rail sideways or cutting a hole where the airbox used to be and buy a 90 degree joiner and a straight piece of piping. only prob is cutting hole sideways above chassis rail if i was to do that the power sterring lines get in the way so i may go with the hole where airbox was. ill keep posting how im going.

going to be a few days however due to christmas and damn missus wants to go out

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
