Well, miracles do happen, and in this case I finally got off my back side and made up a template for my cold air box.

All the pics, templates and instructions can be found here:

http://hyperwa.com/sau/cai/

Any comments all welcome as I'm sure there are a few things I've left out that a few people might pick up on.

And if anyone has any input into the instructions please let me know and I'll add or modify them.

Thanks

Jayson

BTW, I haven't studied it too carefully yet (no time at the moment), but where is your cold air feed. You aren't using the old intercooler pipe as you've got a stock one, right?

When I make this up, I'll use the old pipe as the cold air pipe, but I'm just curious how yours is set up.

Cheers,

Michael

Mine sucks air from around the headlight, but as well as that I've cut a 80-90mm hole in the inner guard (there's a few pics of it on the web site) just to make sure it get's enough air.

Using the stock hole where the intercooler pipe was would be perfect. Just make sure it breaths OK and the hole is big enough.

LOL - yepp, the site should be up for a while yet....

If anyone isn't confident on making one I can cut one and post them off. But as the metal has cost me some $$$, I'll have to ask for some money for the metal, my time, and postage.

But I'd say anyone would be able to make it using that template, the hardest part would be installing it. Just really fiddly more than anything.

so as for feeding the cold air into the enclosure

youve got a hole into the wheel arch and a hole in the engine bay where the intercooler pipe goes??

im worried about the box gtting enough air but also that the air it gets isnt full of dirt/moisture eg kicked off the wheel or sucked up too low to the ground....

any suggestions as to how to 'feed' the air into the enclosure?

otherwise good work with the template, im having to modify slightly for an R32 but will keep the cardboard thing if you wonah post that on your site as a reference for all us 32 guys!!

Adam 32,

Have a good look at the pics on my site, you see that I've still got both intercooler pipes in place and how the filter breathes.

The filter breathes through the front of the box (hasn't got a front on it) from around the headlight. And then I put a hole into the inner guard just incase.

If you haven't got a black plastic inner guard around your wheel then you might get some crap come up to the hole.

I've got my plastic guard in place and I've been running the box and filter like that for about 9 months and the filter is still almost like new (I check it every 5000km when I do an oil change).

i did a partition yesterday, worked really well. after a big freeway run i felt the filter and its dead cold!! so thanks for the ideas, i duno about performance increases but i guess it may get better as i up the boost, its gotah be doing something!

just have to find a way to make the aluminium more reflective rather than absorbant cos it gets bloody hot after a while!

Sorry guys, looks like that address isn't hosting the templates anymore :P

I've zipped the pics and instructions up into three zip files, just download them and extract them all.

When you print the templates, just make sure you print them in full A4 size so you keep the original size.

Cheers

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
