sr20det coolant leak

[colombianbryan]

leaking coolant from my s15 t28bb turbo. there's 2 lines that feed coolant into the turbo and its on the side closest to the motor itself, seems like the back side. i ordered a turbo locking washer tab from nismoshop but wrong fitting. so im not sure what i exactly need??? help please!

Leaking off the turbo or the block? Either way, did you try tightening them a bit more? If that doesnt work, then get some fresh banjo fitting copper washer.

Either that or just upgrade to steel braided lines since if its the turbo line, you'd have to pull the whole manifold/turbo off to tighten it anyways.

its leaking off the turbo. and i want to get new steel braided lines but dont have the money right now. i took the downpipe off to get more leverage to tighten it but still it has a small leak. where can i get the banjo fitting copper washers cause i cant find them anywhere??

Go to the dealer if you have to and get them off 300ZX TTs.

alright cool thanks!

But honestly, considering you're gonna have to pull the whole manifold/turbo off...get steel braided lines. Contact Ken at Enjuku and you should be able to get some ISIS lines for about $100. Just dont forget the restrictor for the BB turbo.

im still stuck. i dont have the money for the steel braided lines so i just want to use the oem copper washer but i cant find it. i ordered the one for the 300zx tt but its the same part i ordered before and it doesnt fit... help!!
