Just use the whole neo intake, the 33 iac only needs one plug unless you're running a/c? I just plugged it straight onto the neo & all ran fine, otherwise it's easy enough to make an adapter plate for the iac, I wouldn't bother trying to mate the manifolds together
/\ I didn't read all that but I remember the first time I drove a 20 I pushed the accelerator through the floor so hard there was calf pain, I hear you though with the price & availability of RBs getting worse for sure, just put a 25 turbo
I've only been in manual V35s but I'd guess 0-100 they'd be pretty even stock, throw an exhaust on them both the JZX will probably be slightly ahead.
They'd be close enough to get which ever you prefer the look & feel of.
As above really, power seems low, mine also makes 100+ more hp at 18 on 98e10.(10cm non antisurge)
Shouldn't be too laggy, anyway just 30 it with the T67
Help with injector flow but the pump will have to work a bit harder, if you run out of injector first more fuel pressure, if run out of pump first less fuel pressure
I'd keep the cold side piping the same size as the turbo outlet.
The FFP seems to have varying results, I wouldn't put one on a car now but also wouldn't take one off if it's already on there.
If e85 is not convenient could do the e42 mix.
There's a post from Status here somewhere saying the 8cm doesn't seem to be that much more responsive but loses about 30 or 40kw up top so if doing something with the turbo I'd probably go to a BW or PT.
Stock cams & TB may make it feel a bit better in the mid range.
E42, more boost & maybe head studs
MCR is the only one I know still doing chips in Auckland, if towing isn't an option you could run a stock a31/r32/c33 rb25de ecu, wire the wastegate open & drive nicely
