Ok so pretty much I have an r33 s1 with an rb25de and I'm going for a fairly stealthy look so mostly factory bits, but since I'm new to turbos and what not I was wondering if anyone could explain to me a few things ( also I tried using the search but nothing I found was of use).

Firstly which lines on the turbo are water and which one is oil (already has the oil drain pipe) and where do they go to?

Secondly is it worth getting an aftermarket bov? I've read that the standard are a bit dodgy. And if aftermarket what is better between plumback and vent to atmosphere

And last thing for now I just want some recommendations for what has worked well for others, spark plugs, panel filters, fuel pumps and wide band sensors.Thanks, nathan

Loads of information and most of your questions answered.

Also, be prepared for everyone to tell you to "just buy a GTST"

If your turbo has the oil drain fitted, the oil feed is directly opposite it on the other side, ie. top of the turbo when it's mounted in the engine bay. (provided it's a stocker)

There is a bung on the side of the block for the water and oil feed, you know which is which by what runs out when you remove them. The water return and oil return on most NA engines isn't there, bit of info in that^ thread about the returns.

Stock BOV in good condition is fine, don't go atmo unless you're running aftermarket engine management.

Upgrade your plugs and coils, again read the thread for types, gaps etc.

Stock panel filter and airbox will work with a custom pipe from the airbox to the turbo inlet, or get a GTST airbox.

Fuel pump will need upgrading, again in the thread.

Wide band sensor? For what?

Hope that helps. thumbsup.gif

    • I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.
    • I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.
    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
