just this
for FMIC pipe work, to go from turbo over manifold and back down before heading to intercooler.
-
dammit now I can hear it....
-
If you go for a catch can with a return to the inlet make sure it's baffled so the oil has the chance to drop out of suspension. I'd get the same for one running to a filter too TBH.
Thanks, will make sure get one that does, something that delays the air going back out you mean by forcing it around it?
-
thanks guys, catch can it is, if there is no mot implications I don't want that going back into my system...
-
Ok, another query
If I plumbed this back in, should it go before the turbo to avoid the pressure post turbo stopping it actually escaping? If I vent it with a filter, will that be an mot fail on emissions.....?
Cheers
-
Yeah will source the right bit ! Happy that found that out before going further
And something else I have learnt which is always good
rather look dumb and work it out than not learnAlso had fun trying to solve the issue
-
Cool, that would help. Tried three different turbos (as kept buying them!) and all had same issue. Thinking maybe manifold is a bit different maybe...
Photo would be really useful
My car is actually in Southampton and I am back in Cardiff (nowhere to do the build here so using my friends drive).
Only photo I have of dry fit, this was using olives as spacers.
Where it hits, it's not the smaller pipe on the actuator that's an issue as can be cut back.
Oh, and yes the coolant lines are in a stupid position!
EDIT
I don't think I have an st185 manifold....just had a moment of obviousness/stupidness, the outlet is not twin !
Which is prob why does not clear or angle correctly!!!
Can you/anyone confirm? Then will ask the breakers
(Have the st165 maybe?)
-
Not sure if this link works as mobile but thinking this as the spacer

I got one that was quite slim of ebay..
Thanks
will take a look -
That's what I'm thinking, there is going to be around 50mm space so will take a look for one
-
That must have been fun!
Measured up, the spacer concept is a good un but switching to a spacer between the manifold and turbo now, as new manifold studs would be needed, happier removing the ones from the turbo than the engine in case one breaks off.
Now downpipe hits radiator fan so off to work on that one
-
Yeah, will do, and thanks for checking, really appreciate it (everyone on here is always so helpful). Once this is done hopefully can help others myself
-
Hi cheers for the offer but have one already
Awesome find!
:D will need to measure up the studs but fair amount from remembering was still exposed (car is not outside at moment)Will measure up tomorrow and report back
-
It's not the connection to exhaust that might be an issue, as its miles out anyway, but the downpipe hitting the rad fan but think it should be ok with a spacer
Yeah, and the other bits like dropping the crossmember just to get the damn oil pan out! For one little bolt....
-
Cheers guys!
Had thought of clocking turbo but that doesn't move the actuator as clocked on compressor side...I believe.
Like the spacer idea, neat. Will take a look at the bits tomorrow
like you say, no future issues, assuming doesn't push downpipe to far forward Thanks for the ideas!
-
cheers, no one else seems to have had this issue so wandering if something isn't lined up....
I am worried about temps and a split hose (bye bye coolant!) - will poke about tomorrow to see how the pipes are all set up in terms of being able to remove
-
These are the two pipes I plan to remove and replace with hosing, what could go wrong?
-
Hi, I'm fitting a turbo (CT26) to my 3SFE. The wastegate actuator is hitting the outermost metal waterbypass pipe for coolant system. See this diagram below,
It hits the righthand side of the front pipe. To fit the turbo I need to remove part of that pipe. It looks like it's easier to actually cut it on the left hand side, where it separates from the pipe behind.
My plan was to cut it on the left and right hand side, remove and run a new pipe in it's place, that has enough flex to fit around where the actuator will then sit.
My question is assumedly these are metal due to heat as run next the exhaust manifold. Will high temperature hose be ok ? As I need it flexible enough to move out the way of the actuator. But don't want it to melt!
Any good tips?
-
It's an engine breather, what it does is chuck horrible oily air back into your inlet so it can gunge-up your IACV.
Run it to an oil catch can with a fancy little filter on it.
Your IACV will thank you.
Thank you. Cool, will do just that! thanks again
-
As title, 3sfe engine but in general as I am sure it is a general item. Pipe that pushes air, not sucking, from head into air intake pre throttle bottle.
Assuming it is recyling something, but anyone give me a nod to what it is and does specifically? Reason being wandering if with turbo still fine to fit into the pipes pre throttle body/post intercooler.
Thanks!
-
If I see I will wave
but honestly, I do often miss them only for my girlfriend to say a car like mine just went by! -
No photos as at airport but
Silicone hoses, front mounted intercooler, various gaskets, bloody hard to find (for me) 3/4 to 20mm oil filter adaptor as bought the wrong relocation kit, and a t-piece
might need another oil pressure senser as my cheap eBay one rattles.... -

Hi, I've put this in general as it covers multiple gens, if a mod thinks it should be in the 6th gen apologies.
Does anyone know if I can use a st185 style lambda sensor and plug into my 3sfe connector? As turbo downpipe is for the gt4 type, but my one is a screw in one for SSI or gt 6th gen...
Extra long manifold studs

Am I being blind??
Was looking for longer studs for exhaust manifold, as looks like I have to add a spacer to get my turbo to clear. But can't seem to find any, I have just assumed they exist but do they ? Anyone know where to get some?
Sure I will be just being oblivious....
Thanks!
