VG30 Turbo

[lowlux]

in my opinion 200-230rwkws is alot for a daily driven street car, my skyline is what i drive to work everyday and im aiming for around the 200-220 mark hoping to keep the stock injectors, but if the costs of a new ECU are cheap enough as i get mates rates through work,ill go ahead and buy 1 which will open me up into alot more power

i finally got the turbo on and all the cooler pipeing finished,went to start the car for the first time in 4 weeks,it started fine i was happy, it sounded MAD!!! with the exaust off,and it just comming straight off the dump pipe, as i was topping up the coolant my dad went round to look at the turbo,shouted to turn the car off as it was leaking oil LOL looked under the car and there was about 2 ltrs of oil on the floor, traced it back to the fitting i made, oh well it just taught me a lesson,NEVER skimp on turbo fittings LOL now i gotta goto pirtek and get them to make me up some metal lines for it

damn

Did you use fuel line hose?

if so......

did u use 3 hose clamps on each end?

Also try using a punch and flaring out the ends a little.

[lowlux]

yup actually on 2 clamps both ends,the water lines were fine,its the 1 oil line i stuffed up on, its ok i just gotta get a better fitting made up

i wouldnt be using any push on type hoses with a turbo, get some quality ones made with screw type fittings. You can go to hose/fittings place Pirtec etc and buy hose and fittings to make your own. At the end of the hose there are two fittings, one screws on the hose anticlocwise and the other screws down in to that, this way you can do it yourself otherewise get them to make quality braided lines.

Everything is up and running joel and seemed fine. Today I had some problems that seem like the afm, it cuts out sometimes on gearchanges and stoped once. I think it is something to do with the way i returned the bov to thr air intake. Going on the dyno tomorrow so hopefully it runs ok otherwise i will need to try a new z32 afm.
