Kaan W Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) Well I got the turbo back together and the oil feed/return and water feed on but came accross another problem. The water return fitting is completely ruined and shouldnt of ever been used in the first place, basically it had some kind of sealent holding together what looked like a severely crossed thread. Theres no time to order a new one before monday so im gunno have to make one out of some fittings and hose I found in the garage. Heres the new and old oil return anyway, the old one is completely shot and again shouldnt have been used in the first place!

Chris Bailey Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Is that new oil return going to fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Is that new oil return going to fit? Yeah its all on now just need to fit another water return. The old one was far too long in the first place. The oil return is so tight its wedged inbetween the exhaust manifold and compressor outlet, its the only way it can go but ive heat sleeved the braided hose I just hope its enough.

tooquicktostop Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I really would cancel the mapping and get your issues sorted properly mate, I know I sound like an old nag but I do think you are asking for trouble and I would hate to see you post a thread with major issues due to fudged repairs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been working flat out on top of work aswel to get this sorted and its nearly finished I just need to make some kind of water return. Ive got the correct hose and fittings for the job but the hose is an old size and is a real pita to cram into the modern fittings. I need time to get my head around it but tomorrow is another day and nothing is impossible so fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should not have any lines pushed against the manifold, especially oil, it's an accident waiting to happen wrapped or not, then you still have the rough running as well, could a tuner not look at it for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bailey Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Ryan will tell you if its too dangerous to map when he see's the car on Tuesday. When he plugs that laptop in it will come up with any problems that may cause issue during mapping. Your in safe hands with Ryan . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats how the old line ran also The rough running aint that bad but im just picky, it can still be mapped ok but from now to then leaves little time to find someone to look at it.

Kaan W Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) Right ive just managed to get everything in working order for Monday. The braided hose is due to come Tuesday which is too late but ive gone for some standard 20Bar air compressor hose which works just as well and then I can just swap in the braided hose after the mappings done. Just went for a quick spin and everythings running on par. Edited March 12, 2013 by Kaan W (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaan W Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) weird idle issue resolved? Good to hear Strangly enough yeah. I honestly cant tell you what it was tho whether it was oil or water slowly leaking and the syvecs was picking it up resulting in some kind of changes or as mentioned before that I switched fuels. Seems ok now tho. Edit: Vac line from dump valve came off but I sourced a clip to hold it on now Edited March 12, 2013 by Kaan W (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 That oil line is too close, those heat protective covers are not ment for contact. Can you take a pic from a little further back from above the suspension turret to show routing more clearly? Edit: what hose material inside the braid?

Can you take a pic from a little further back from above the suspension turret to show routing more clearly? Edit: what hose material inside the braid? I know it is a little close for my liking too but I just cant understand how else I can route it. The braided hose is the standard type as thats all I had and the teflon lined stuff had to be ordered which will come tuesday. I will get some better pics tomorrow. I was thinking could I not just strap some heat protective material to the exhaust manifold to last me until the mapping on tuesday? Edit: Replaced for Teflon which has thinner walls than the standard rubber so there is plenty of clearance now even with the Goodridge insulating sleeve on.

Yeah its the exact same kit just my side skirts are blitz not VS. I have them arches on the front too but mine are blended in as is the whole kit which takes the sharp contours off which is why it probably looks narrower. Nice colour tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
