Oil / Water Lines


Niran

Recommended Posts

Its my first time doing a full engine and turbo build. Not too sure about the benefits of solid/braided etc etc water and oil lines apart from looking pretty and being expensive as.

 

I want a reliable and tidy setup - what is necessary to make this happen? Sinco recommenced these fittings and lines:

-Speedflow braided turbo feed
-6 pushlok water lines
-Oil drain-Solid line past manifold into -10 pushlok hose onto block

 

I am no expert with this stuff at all. 

 

Is a solid drain line important to have? Should i be running braided lines for all water and oil lines? 

 

Thinking i could go to speedflow and get all the bits myself if that made it cheaper, but need to know what to get!

If you get this S*** wrong, your car catches fire. No ifs, buts, or maybes, just a burnt car.

 

Don't get it wrong.

 

What they are suggesting sounds sane. If you aren't already twisted there is some S*** that I strongly recommend with regards to the turbo oil feed and the driver's side AVCS solenoid; that is to say replacing all of the hardlines with braided, which requires a couple of very specific fittings - unsure if your model is at all different to the GDs in that sense.

Yup completely agree. @boon 

 

I had a chat with GSS performance and they have speedflow AN fittings and braided lines all in stock so can get it from them.

 

So you're saying go braided over any hard lines? I was moving away from going hard lines as they sound complex and seem to be prone to expansion issues etc. which if not done right could be a recipe for disaster.

 

GSS recommended if i'm running a drain line near any of the exhaust manifold / upipe etc, would need proper heat wrapping to shield it.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
