Front Facing Plenum (small Issue)

I have repositioned the throttle body on my NEO RB25 plenum to the front and need to know what to do with a certain hose that goes from the rear of the plenum to the factory J Pipe. The pic below shows the hose (circled).

Now, ive tried completely blocking the hose but that results in a very low idle/constant stalling. It is now too late to incorporate the hose into the IC piping as its already made up. Ive taken the car for a couple of drives with the hose just sitting there and sucking from the atmosphere and the motor idles and runs fine. Im however not too keen on leaving it like this incase it sucks in a stone or any such object into the plenum. I was going to go out and buy some mesh and hose clamp it straight onto the out let on the plenum, but just thought id ask here if there are any issues with doing this? Im using a LinkPlus ECU so the difference in airflow will not interfere with the (non-existent) AFM. What is the purpose of having this hose connecting the plenum and J Pipe in the first place?

It's the inlet for the idle air control. Plumb it in or stick a little filter on it if you are running a map sensor.

I don't know how good the iac is at preventing boost leaking back past it though, as typically it has the same or higher pressure behind rather than in front of it.

like dave is saying.. if you trace the hose down, you can find it sits to the air regulator which sits up underneath the plenum.

Try unplugging the airreg plug and see if it gets worse or better (I am thinking the ecu then probably goes into a fallback mode and regulates things differently?).. Could be worth investigating, but I could be wrong :D

had same issue with the plazmaman plenum.

just run a pipe along the side of the plenum (*above injectors) and down underneath the throttle body and onto a

fitting on your feed pipe.

Yeah I also had the same problem with my plazmaman plenum, as im running a MAP sensor I just put a little filter on it.

Sorry to hi-jack thread but.... Craved how much of a gain did you get with your plenum? :D

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...

      Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.

      One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
