Oh yeah get a braided oil feed line :rofl:

Honestly it just looks like your typical.slap.job someone has put together in their backyard and then realized they need to spend 3k on a ecu,injectors and a tune...so they gave up

which oil line? the turbo gravity feed? or engine oil? i want to replace the majority of the pipes, i just need to know the important ones to change over >_<

This injectors tune ecu boost controller and pipes shouldn't be more then 2 grand get it done and you will have a very capable street car some bolt on spacers to fix wheels rubbing shouldnt be more then 50 bucks

I don't have 2 grand, my budget died after buying the stock parts, i'm in this build now. I'm hoping to learn how to build this car properly so i know it inside and out as the rb25 was freshly rebuilt, if i can build back to stock, oposed to upgrade the car will last a lot longer spending alot less money.

Note: i'm not in it for the horsepower, just a safe running car that has very clean new stock parts.

I want it stock because right now it's running a massive turbo on a stock ecu (dangerous), 60% of all pipes are held with basic radiator clamps and old joiners with plastic pipes(dangerous), the blue pipes you see in the photo comingout the top of

my engine (not sure what they have inside of

them) are bad qaulity and crimping whilst not

being clamped, i have no boost control/wastegate

on this turbo (if you look at the stock turbo i have

the waste gate to remove pressure). Right now i

can't rev past 4k rpm because my turbo spools

uncontrollibly and the pipes wont hold, so i have

to pull over and attach the intercooler hoses back

on, but all the tuning shops i went too said i

should stay off boost completely until i get boost

control sorted. And if i tear everything that has

been done and go back to stock i'll have a rb25det

that can be red lined without worrying of fuel cut

or overboost, or my enginge blowing up. and i'll

know there wern't any shortcuts taken so things

wont break.

Ah understand. .you dont have to return it to stock to get it running right. No offense but sounds like you are randomly buying parts and hoping for the best outcome, as others have said, ask a fellow sau member to take a look at what bits you have /actually NEED before you waste anymore money

Also keep in mind that spacers for your wheels are illegal and defectable

Not sure why others on here are even suggesting you use them when other options are out there

pretty much dude, i bought a dump pipe that i'm not sure will bolt on to the exhaust, as it's 3" all the way through right now :( But i've seen stock exhausts on gumtree for 100 bucks so it's drivable

lol....just about any mod is defectable ...^^^ sorry Steven but this is probably the stupidest statement ever made on sau because half the cars on here are running spacers and I dont see wheels flying off everywhere do you????????????? :rofl:

that rubber hose going into the turbo mate...look all you really need to do is replace that and get a decent tunable ecu...and stop your intercooler pipes falling off...it should run fine...sell all that crap u just bought...sell those wheels that dont fit properly...put money towards ecu and a tune and you have a powerful car...easy ;)

Whats with the personal attack there artz? Do you have little weiner syndrome or maybe small man syndrome?

I merely pointed out the legalities of spacers NOT the safety side of things and unlike most mods the spacers can be seen from outside of the car

A very small amount of metal machined off the back of the wheels will fix clearence issues

Remember to add lots more question marks as it really helps get your point across

no personal attack meant mate, I just found it amusing that you point out the legalities of a small wheel spacer to someone running wheels that are too wide regardlessm and a top mount turbo with external gate etc etc...i think a 5 mm wheel spacer is the least of his problems dont you ;).. and all legalities aside what is more unsafe, a wheel spacer, or a wheel that rubs on the brake caliper....?

Of course he can / will get away with the spacers but my point is they can be seen from the outside of the car -cops look for these things- unlike his top mount / ext gate which is outta sight and out of mind and wont be heard unless he drives like a tool

have a permit for BOV, front mount and pod filter, althought right now i have a 3" straight pipe. Believe me man, if i could bolt that split dump i have to the straight pipe and be done i would, but i'm not sure if they'll fit as the dump looks 2"-2.5"

Exactly fix what you've got rather that buying more parts you don't need please we are trying to help you

right now i'm sure 50% of the pipes cause a vacum leak as they're barley held together with radiator clamps, which is why i have the new intercooler+ kit for the piping + silicon joiners and proper clamps, i'm pretty sure i could install the new intercooler and half the piping right now. It's just i want to make sure i have the parts for the stock turbo before i take it all apart and need to know where things were supposed to be so i can figure out everything that's been modified on my bay for the install.

Just mock fitting a few parts so i can get the general idea and i've noticed i don't have bolts from the dump pipe to the turbo or the turbo to the90 degree manifold, does anyone know where i can get them?

IMG_0423_zps8ea3bbd2.jpg

i found a blow off valve hiding under the exhaust manifold is it worth using? IMG_0428_zpse38b8476.jpg

also need to know what part that belongs betwen the throttle body and the intercooler piping, or can i cheat and use a silicon 90 degree bend? 24a71ac7-1e1d-458a-9234-daa2d9acb411_zps

my piping is held together with radiator clamps and has held over 40psi....your point is invalid...

if there is no bead around the end of your cooler piping that would be your problem not the clamps....

My pipingis old and rusty, the joiners are stretched and the hose clamps arn't on straight. Don't underestimate on how shit a job can be completed!

Any metric bolt store should be able to help you

There is a good one in the industrial area close to the intersections of collier road/guildford road bassendean

    • Is there a diameter difference in the stock to Nismo? If so, the weight alone won't be indicative when comparing flywheels of the same diameter, since the radius of the flywheel acts on the moment of inertia with a square factor, where as mass is linear. Roughly going from a 4.5kg flywheel with radius 20cm, to a 9kg flywheel with radius 14cm would see them act the same. This calc is just here to act as a brief numbers comparison and reflects no actual RB flywheel diameters etc. it also assumes even weight distribution (thickness) throughout.
    • It seems this could be due to a restructure/team direction change... Or... You're working with a different category of vehicle... Or you've decided you'd rather be able to play with your own cars again...   I'm hoping the latter...
    • had 4 weeks off over xmas and well did some stuff to the shed and BRZ, well short of is I don't work full time in supercars anymore as of yesterday.........
    • Did you get any down time over Christmas, or have you had any since to play with this? Or have you given up and are trying to get yourself a second hand V8SC instead?
    • A random thought I had just before I hit "Submit on this post". If brake fluid, in a container in my garage that has never been opened goes bad after 18 months, why can I leave it in my car for 24 months in an "unsealed container"... Secondly, some other digging, and brake fluid manufacturers seem to be saying 5 year shelf life... Me thinks there line on 18 months for an unsealed bottle is pretty much horse shit marketing spin. Kind of like how if you drive a car and don't run a turbo timer your turbo and motor will die horribly...   Where I started on this though... Someone (me) started down a bit of a rabbit hole, I don't quite have the proper equipment to do Equilibrium Reflux boiling per the proper test standards. I did a little digging on YouTube, and this was the first video I found on someone attempting to "just boil it". This video isn't overly scientific, as we don't have a known reference for his test either. Inaccuracy in his equipment could have him reaching the 460 to 470f boiling point range in reality. In the video, using a laser temp gun, he claims his Dot3 that's been open in his florida garage for over a year gets to about 420 to 430 fahrenheit (215 to 221c) Doing some googling, I located an MSDS for that specific oil, and from new, it claims a dry boiling point of 460 to 470f. Unfortunately they don't list a wet boiling point for us to see how far it degraded toward its "wet" point. While watching it I was thinking "I wonder what the flash point is..." turns out its only 480f for that specific brake fluid....   As for testing the oil's resistance, I might not be able to accurately do that unfortunately. Resistance level will be quite a LOT higher than my system can read I suspect based on some research. However, I might be able to do it by measuring the current when I apply a specific voltage. I won't have an actual water % value, but I'll have some values I can compare between the multitude of fluids. I'll run some vague calculations later and see if I should be able to read any reliable amount of current. These calcs will be based on some values I've found for other oils, and see how close I'll need my terminals together. From memory I can get down to 1pA accuracy on the DMM. I don't think my IOT Power Tester has any better resolution.
