The oil feeding line supplied with the turbo looks like its gonna be a bit long, will this matter or should it be trimmed up? If so, how do i got about trimming it, because the fittings on each end dont look like they come off easily...

And just to confirm its a 24mm socket/spanner need for the water line banjo bolts isn't it?

Well after a really long day, turbo is in along with metal intake. At the moment the bov return and bov are bloked off, because I could not get the hose to go on the bung of the intake and the metal bov return pipe without kinking or touching the exhaust manifold. So a trip to enzed on Monday for some rubber hose in the right diameter an hopefully there wont be anything else major crop up.

Hey Mitch I ended up getting some really nice hose that still touches the manifold but is holding up perfectly

Got it from A place on kembla st in fyshwick they are on the right I forget the name of them

The guys at enzed didn't have anything that could handle the heat

Ok, will check it out.

Anyone know why I can now hear a bubbling sound while im driving thats sounds like its coming from in the dash/ under hood?

A shit tonne of coolant came out of the water lines of the turbo, so once they were bolted back up, I poured coolant and water into the top of the radiator. I'm thinking the bubbling has something to do with the way I have done that...

Bleed hole on inlet plenum, 10mm spanner.

Have the car facing uphill and open (release pressure first!)

Bubbles of air trapped in the head come out,

top up from the radiator and see the coolant come out of the hole,

plug it back up,

run the motor for a minute or two,

Repeat untill all air is gone.

Ps. buy good tools, they are good as gold and will last decades, i have some of my grandfathers tools, spanners in the 50'S were made of good steel.

Dont buy shit tools, they will strip bolts and bust your knuckles and you will wish you had just borrowed dads sidchrome set.

also make sure your heater is on when you are bleeding the system as there could be some air in there too. Good tools are worth their weight in gold. I still have all my tools from my apprenticeship except ones that have been 'borrowed' or ones i misused.

Can I assume that if the coolant level in the radiator hasn't dropped between now and when I did this thismorning that most air bubbles are out?

When I first checked it this morning there was a lot less in there than what was put in originally after the turbo install. Im assuming this is because it's a closed system with the bolt ad radiator cap on and all the air that was trapped in the head etc making it seem like the coolant was full but overnight the air has just traveled to the top of the radiator?

got my nistune ecu back today from Matt and exhaust temp light and FICD issues have been sorted!

Also managed to ghetto up a temporary bov return line until the 1 1/8 inch silicone hose turns up then ill use it and wrap the area that touches the exhaust manifold in some heat wrap.

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
