Guys after many hours. I found these on ebay. U reckon these are cheap?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...&category=33741

All the places in aus i rang said the 1 inch of silicone hose was like 15-20 bux. I cant vaouch for the quality of the ebay stuff but it seems i can get like 40 incehs for like 100 bux and 18 bux delivery whihc is like much cheaper than here.

Also found reducers for like 11 bux each. Her in AUS I was quoted like 40 bux a reducer. WTF :bs!:

Unless u guys can get me better im gonna go with these. When i start this project.

hey i noticed you fellas using mild steel piping, im currenltly in the process of removing this from my car after it has rusted and is blowing chuncks of shit into the engine, how are you guys getting around this?

waldo - did you paint the inside of the pipe as well ? I think I might try and paint the inside aswell.

A second set of hands does wonders.

To put the front mount on yourself, heres how i did it. sit on front for the bar with legs extended and place cooler on your knees. bend knees to lift cooler up and bolt it in. This was soooooooooo gheettooooo.

Well the cooler is on now on my car. will take pics.

anyone that wants to weld the pipes together yourself * hint * have lots of practice first.

I botch my job up, I used an arc welder $109 from repco * im poor, if i could get a mig i would *. so the rest of the welding was just to join the pipes together to hold and I placed the silicon hose over the top and bold it down.

I will also use the welder to put a lip on the pipes so that its harder to slip off.

pipes all up was $110 from livo exhuast

3#-> 2.5# reducer hose @ $25 each X 2- Shift perfomance

2.5 3inch hose @ @ 20 Each

t-bolt clamps @ $13 each X 12

    • I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.   
    • 300hp (225kw) is barely outside the standard turbo's range with a bit of extra boost in it (200ish). If you are going to change the turbo you should aim for 250-300kw (330-400hp) to make the expense worthwhile
    • A couple of things, firstly omg that turbo is expensive! $3,000 USD for dinosaur technology is robbery. You could buy a G series turbo and have a good amount of change instead.  If you want a good budget option, have a look here - https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/ If you are keen to spend more, have look at the modern turbos, Garrett G series, Borgwarner EFR, etc. Have a look at the RB25 dyno results thread for inspiration.  If you upgrade your turbo to something that will support the 300hp you want and only "probably" have Haltech ECU, your car will only "probably" run. Actually, no it won't run. You are going to need the ECU and injectors at the time you do the turbo upgrade.  No thoughts on "this much boost" as you didn't say how much boost that actually is. Having said that, plenty of unopened RB25's making even more power then what you are chasing.   
    • I'm looking for a direct bolt on turbo upgrade for my 93 R33 GTST.  Anyone have experience with this Greddy T620Z turbo upgrade? I'd like to be able to run about 300hp to the rear wheels without putting too much strain on the turbo. I do daily drive the car.  Pretty stock car with basic bolt ons (exhaust outlet, down pipe, high flow cat and catback exhaust along with intake and FMIC).  I'l probably have a Haltech plug n play on the car before installing the turbo. https://www.greddy.com/products/turbo-upgrade-ecr33-er34-t620z-rb25-11520057   Also, any thought on this much boost on a 30 year old motor with 250,000KMs?  Engine feels/sounds strong for what it's worth.   Thanks you in advance!
