Wez Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 You really need to change the rubber hose for teflon. What turbo kit is your build based on as you can't be the first to install it, how have others routed it, the line also looks a little short. When I changed mine I used angled fittings to force the line away from any unwanted contact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I changed mine I used angled fittings to force the line away from any unwanted contact. Well the guy I bought it from said all the work was done by Whifbitz The compressor housings in the way to fit a 90` fitting but I think I may be able to fit an extended thread from the turbo to allow me to fit a 90` then out to the front of the car then down. Its only a mock up as I have mapping on tuesday and its too late to order anything now but it should last then as soon as thats done i'll order the correct parts and re do the whole lot. Would fibreglass matting help if I tied some around the exhaust manifold that its touching? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 You certainly don't want 90deg fittings, 45deg max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supratoc1990 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 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 much appriated man if i make mine half as good as yours i will be delighted fine supra you got mate keep up the good work and keep her between the ditchs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike2JZ Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Why couldnt I use 90deg fittings? From what I understand, I think the general censuses against using 90deg fittings is that 1) Oil build ups 2) At a 90 bend, there is so much force exerted on the outside of the radius as it is. for that wall to be pliable is just not the best idea. any kind of hard bend, especially right off the source of the flow/pressure(Turbo) needs to be solid. That said, you could still use a 90 degree fitting, just keep your eye out for the above issues. Make sure the oil drain does not have any uphill areas as the drain is gravity fed. 90 Degree bends from the turbo or sump are fine, but a minimal angle towards the ground is required.

The LED rears are something that I normally dislike greatly, but they work well on your car. Must be the colour The clear lensed facelift fronts would be stunning on the front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
