Now that's what I call a high flow cat!! :cheers:;)

Nice job Brendan. Mate, I'm not too far away, if you need a hand sometime give me a shout. What guys like you an me need though is people with tiny little hands to get in all the tight spaces...

Richard - I have no clue what you are talking about.

Well - nearly got the HKS 2835R on now - Pics to come.

I got one nut on the turbo flange to go - that's it - It's a tricky little bugger - You are right Richard - I need someone with small fingers and hands to get it started.

So should be back on the Rd soon - need a reducer/silicon 90deg bend if anyone has one lying around.

Then small adjustment to the tune to compensate for the slightly smaller turbo - and Bob's your Uncle.

Cheers,

hehe.

Just wait 'till 3pm, then head down to your local High School as the year 7 kids come out just offer one of them a free ride in your line if they'll squeeze their little hand in there and start the nut for ya. Wait a minute, scratch that, possible persecution as suspected peadophile might make this one for plan B. Instead just keep fu:)

Good job. Now I wanna know when you can take me for a spin!

hey!! I am missing something? I just saw the words HKS2835R in your post? what happend with the 3040? I though it was the shiznit? just a check/fix needed then back on it goes?

Will still be a weapon with the 2835, I imagine it will come on boost pretty hard and early compared to the 3040.

Nah - a challenge :D

Richard - 2835 is interim - whilst I decide on 3040 options. Also to see the diff between the 2835 and the 3040 with the same setup.

Options for 3040:

a) GCG Rebuild $950

B) New Garrett CHRA from the US $ approx $1200 delivered

c) GCG Rebuild and new compressor - prolly about $1300

d) looking at other options too - anyone got any other thoughts ?

With the new Comp wheel - should be a beast. But where to use all that goodness ?? ha ha ha :)

B-man, I don't have a 90 deg elbow handy, but if you can wait while I nip down the shops I can "fabricate" one for you using cardboard and masking tape. Trust me bro, my bother uses these hoses on his 8 second RX3.

Fully.

Richard

Well boys - it lives.

As it turned out, I had a 90 deg reducer bend left over from one of the other turbos I had on my car at some stage :)

So it's running - I took it for a burn tonight - boost comes on heaps earlier - I can tell cause the BOV makes heaps more noise, and earlier, compared to when the 3040 was on.

My dash lights are all busted (fuse I think and havent been f'ed fixing it), so I couldn't see tacho and boost guage - tomorrow , I'll get a much better idea of what is happening.

Quick tune to make sure everything is in order and lets see what happens.

Shit I have learned a lot about turbos doing all of this.

You can theorise all you want - but see shit for yourself really drives home the differences in compressor size, AR, turbine size and what effects these have on the charactaristcs of your turbo/engine combination.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
