rob wild Posted August 28, 2006 Author Share Posted August 28, 2006 Ok so after the problems with the oil feed return I finally made some progress. I think i found a good work around for the oil feed return by using the original stock adapter and then a new very short rubber hose between that and the new pipe. It seems to work as it place the pipe away from the manifold but also has a good flow with no kinks on heavy bends etc. Just going to go and weild on my custom boss for my wideband. Will post more picture of the install just incase anybody finds them intresting for future reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veilsideTT Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Dude i had the same problem with the return pipe fouling on that bolt. I removed the bolt and cut off enough for the return to go on without touching it. I have my cover vented to atmosphere (k&n) and my idle control valve has a k&n on too. but i didn't know about the exploding thing Only other prob was the return coming down from the turbo, the big thick braided line catches on the steering rack shafts Universal joint. i used metal ties to pull it away from this (i should really do something with this as it wasn't the best option) TBH, its a piece off piss to fit yourself. i loved doing mine. Its great when someone asks you "where did you get that done" "erm, i built it myself " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its great when someone asks you "where did you get that done" "erm, i built it myself " Yeah well that is what i was thinking mine cause it was fould by both the steering bolt, Hydraulic pipe etc so using the orignal housing moves it away from all those parts Must say it looks quality when its fitted ! I think i'm going to get my tig weilder out and put a nipple on there for the crankcase breathing system might be the best option long term! Are you using a avcr with your PHR? How have you got it set up? Also do you know what boost the wastegate is set to on a PHR kit? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veilsideTT Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 yeh i use an AVCR, the HKS 60mm wastegate is set to 1 bar. think its the 50mm thats set to 0.8 Initially my AVCR was set up at Thor's. Ive tinkled with it since. Each car is different so my settings wont be the same for you. Just set it to 1bar and set the duty very low and it will only get to 1bar max (i do this for my first gear setting to get more traction) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"On the compressor housing there is a vacuum port, take one of the fittings supplied and screw it in. Run a hose from the side port of the wastegate to the turbo, go into a T and run the other end to the "in" of the boost controller. Then run a separate hose from the top of the wastegate to the "out" port of the boost controller. Most boost controllers require you to swtich the controller from actuatore to external wastegate.

veilsideTT Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I think you have it right. I scoured the SF just to make sure i had it right before i installed. Deleted all my "how to fit singles" favorites now im afraid. If you have trouble let me know and i will double check under my bonnet for you.

dandan Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Rob, Doesn't the downpipe have a circular M18 x1.5 boss welded on already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob wild Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 Rob, Doesn't the downpipe have a circular M18 x1.5 boss welded on already? Yeah it does but its at the wrong end, as i want it for my AEM wideband. Its not a problem really as i want to use the orginal one for a EGT gauge.
