Hey soon i am going to be doing my injectors and turbo and what not, and i was just curious, i have done my research and the manual sais to drain the coolant to take the top half of the manifold off? Has anyone done this job? How hard is it? What tools are needed? Is it time consuming?

Thanks. Phill.

draining the coolant is for when u take the cooling lines off the throttlebody/top half of manifold, u will need to remoove your crossoverpipe,throttle cable,all hoses/electrical earths, basicaly anything connected to the top half of the manifold, then theres a series of long bolts laying under the bottom section of the manifold, which transfer to the top. take em out then give the top half of the manifold a tap with a soft faced hammer to release its grip on the gasket, then its off! :sick: it took me no more then 30min, but im a mechanic :sick:

The first time i done injectors i didnt even take off the throttle body, the second time i did and it was much easier. If you are only taking off the top half of the manifold to do the injectors i wouldnt bother and just take off the throttle body as it gives you plenty of room.

i am a mechanic too, but only an apprentice :D so would just taking the throttle body off be enough to take all six injectors out? i was thinking the whole top half. With the coolant lines, wont you just be able to block them off rather than draining all the coolant?

Im trying to grasp how long this will take me and rob from creatd.. I was kinda thinking a whole week to do injectors ecu tune and turbo. Ecu and AFM i already know what to do, turbo im not too sure about, rocker cover gaskets i know 100% and plenum i kind of know whats happening.

you can actually replace the injectors without removing the TB or the top half of the plenum. once the fuel rail bolts are out you lift and slide the whole assembly forward.

the hardest thing to do is get to the clips on injector #4 & #5.

I am about to replace the injectors and this time will remove the TB as i think it will be easier.

wouldnt worry bout taking apart plenum.

have changed injectors in a few rb20s and only took off throttle body.

dont really need to drain coolant. just unbolt the tb and unclip lume parts. pull off the coolant lines and just let them drain till it stops (alot less than draining whole lot) just make sure no coolant goes in the holes while the injestors are out

pretty easy job mate, just fiddly (esp. clips) should take bout an hour to change injectors.

maybe a little longer for your first time

i wont be doing it myself. I will have someone who knows rb25s like the back of his hand helping me, so shouldnt be a problem, i just wanted to know the best way to take the injectors out. :laugh: thanks heaps.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
