I do plan on buying an aftermarket turbo outlet and downpipe. As for running the stock units, I had to see for myself how everything matted up since no one has actually documented it really good, or I just gave up searching but I do think I recall reading something about adding a flange as a spacer.

Actually I made a little thread on KA-T.org about the fitment issue on teh sr turbo outlet on a KA24DE(T), even over there nothing was clear and to the point baout what you needed to do.

Heres the link with some pics:

It's possible since the OE SR downpipe has more of a curve in it, plus it's smaller diameter, you'll clear the floorboard fine if you use it. I'm running all the SSA stuff too, the turbo outlet has no clearance issues with my GTi-R T28, and I think the aftermarket stuff has a wider path to clear the bellhousing anyway because there's lots of room. I also added a flex section into the back of my downpipe like one of those kids showed in that thread, you'll want to really drop the front end if you do that though because the flex section is a larger diameter, creating even more clearance issues. I ended up putting it a couples inches from the rear flange and then banging the floorboard up a hair where it starts to widen to clear the OE cat/resonator, it's fine now but the flex does drag on speedbumps/etc.

Your build is clean. I thought you got the S15 T28 turbo from the guy with the RB26. It seems that your running T25 either way it's looking great!

eclipse_dsm · 02-19-2008, 10:41 PM

Just an FYI. I'm using stock S13 SR turbo outlet with both T25 and T28 with no clearance issues. When I did switch to S14 T28 I noticed that 1 bolt doesn't line up and had to drill it a bit for it to line up properly. I also use an ebay front pipe and full 3 inch exhaust. I can send you some pics if you want.

UNISA JECS · 02-20-2008, 09:42 AM

I still have the T28 and it will go on soon, my wouldn't line up either until I grinded some material (see pics on page 1) for clearance then I could had tighten all the bolts on the turbo outlet.

This is the T28:

I need to buy the relocating/reclocking kit for the compressor inlet and outlet pipes.

The same exact way I did on my T25.

did you motor mount get in the way of your oil return?

No, I designed/made it so that it would come up threw the center of the engine mount bracket. I made everything in the most direct fitting manner as possibly to alleviate any chance of oil pooling or what not, also that point I tapped into was specifically choosen because its the absolute highest point you can tap on the oil pan.

jinesz32 · 06-14-2008, 02:30 PM

im running my t25 setup without water / coolant lines, just oil lines, restrictors, etc. i noticed the clearance with the stock sr dumppipe, it sorta was touching my tranny, so i thought that was the reason why i couldn't install my dp, but when i took it out [turbo seals were blown when installed] i tried connecting the dp to the dump and the it didn't fit, i gotta get it cut and weld a new flange on it.

nice write up.

+1

i gotta redo my oil pan, its leaking from me yanking it back and fourth, [ this is gonna be the 4th or 5th time im taking it off and putting it back on.

1. i remove the stock crap, put in the t25.
2. i removed the t25 built, [smoking alot] blown seals.
3. i put in a friends turbo to see if it still smokes.
4. i removed the turbo because he needed it back.
5. i picked up a new turbo and im gonna have it installed.
6. i noticed it got a lot easier than the first time doing it

You can idle your car forever and it'll still repeatedly boil the coolant in the CHRA when you have your coolant lines hooked up. This will greatly reduce the temperatures in the CHRA, and keep oil from coking on the bearings.

Idling your car only cools things down a little from running hard, but it's still too hot on a BB turbo to shut it off without coolant lines if you want to ensure there is no oil coking in the turbo.

awesome thread !

badassness... +1 rep and subscribed, will be great when I get all of my turbo chit!

YoungRookie · 08-30-2008, 12:33 AM

Awsome info here, will definitely help me route my coolant lines on my t28

UNISA JECS · 12-31-2008, 02:24 PM

Just thought I'd give an update here.

Both the oil/water feed and return have held up perfectly no leaks or signs of failure or blockage of any kind.

Bushido · 08-04-2012, 03:07 PM

Anyone have info on doing a steel braided oil return line for t25 on ka24de

w0nderbr3ad · 08-05-2012, 01:44 PM

Any updates to any other places that sell the fittings listed in #2 for the coolant line setup?

Anyplace that carries these types of fittings will have that part just call around index and Straight NPT To A.N. Adapter. Zinc Plated Steel - Steel - Adapters

drifter92 · 12-10-2012, 09:39 PM

Here are some great thread adapters for the stock ka24de oil filter block

9008 | BSPT x Male Pipe (NPTF)

9042 | BSPT x Female Pipe (NPTF)

Mack0917 · 07-20-2013, 06:04 PM

Has anyone used a plate in between the block and the oil filter for a feed? then it as 1/8th adapters around it to be hooked up(Feed,Gauge, ect..) think there would be a difference if i get the oil from there? $50 For that adapter is kinda steep. But then again it looks like it can hold.
