This was the exact setup i was hoping to use for my car but i'm apprehensive because I think with the velocity of the air going through the pipe it is entirely possible that water can go straight up it as well when raining.

I guess the only way is to find out next time it rains where you are. See if it does get wet anyway?

not with a unifilter....get yourself one of those...and yes it has happened before to others...but only happens when ur going through puddles...not so much the rain in effect similar to the stock pipe anyway.

I've been running mine in my FTO for over 1 year with the exact setup as my r33..never a problem...

since the Unifilter is a foam/oil combo its dust retention is much below that of paper and cotton gauze with low restriction - hence the large surface area. If you have ever cleaned one of these, whihc I have a few times, you clean them with mineral turpentine and it soaks it up but doesn't really go through...hence water will have a hard time going through the foam + oil which should help resist any water that might get through anyway...

nice work with there series2r33

Im thinking that yellow cover on the pod might restrict a bit of cold air flow straight to the pod though, but other than that looks exactly like what I have been planning :D

The yellow cover would have prevented cold air thats why i cut the 3" hole in the cover and positioned the hole directly over the induction pipe. Now the cover acts as a heat shield aswell as getting cold air striaght to the pod.

And ellie theres not much chance of rain water finding its way up there... not enough to do anything anyway.. but i'll check next time we get some heavy rain for ya.

Would it be a good idea to try and attach an induction pipe from the afm and feed it through the hole then attach your pod filter to it. sure it would hang just behind the front bar - allowing rocks n dirt to hit the pod but wouldnt you have a shower of cold air hitting the pod? would rain pose any problems?

Well i've tried an idea and im in the process of making it better.

Problem was that the simota pod filter i have has a case around the outside. I bought it like that to help prevent stones etc bouncing up and damaging the pod filter. It worked fine .... until it rained heavly.

Problem was the rain bouncing up from the road and spraying up from other cars was collecting in the pods surrounding case. I realised as soon as i got home when i checked the pod and it was still wet. I had it positioned on an angle to prevent this but still dont feel comfortable driving in the wet like this.

Doing it the i have now...

Even if the trumpet end goes under water it shouldnt matter as there is no direct suction, the air will just flow up the trumpet and be directed right at the pod filter.

Thats the way i had it before "see page 1"

yup. been done before.

In fact on my FTO I made it such that i can move the pod to the front grill and I have a connector piece from the front pipe to the normal intake pipe. Ia lso have some mesh to help protect it.

Works really well, because you are pushing the air straight it...it works really well. But not the best idea out the front...only for those track or crusie days. be prepared to get a new pod though!

new pod :P strapped for cash as it is but I guess Ill be on the look out for another induction pipe for trak days which setup should I go for?

PIPE >> AFM >> PIPE >> POD

Sorry to bring up an old thread,

Just wondering what type of ducting/piping everyone is using to feed the air from the frontbar to the pod/engine bay through the standard ic piping hole?

I was after something that was:

-Black (stealth)

-Plastic (non flamable/good for directing air)

Price and place purchased would be nice too

thanks in advance

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
