Heres some shots of what I have been doing lately. Just painted some stuff on the weekend to go along with the 100s of other parts I have painted, started making my light weight doors, and also the massive rewire of the car. I am moving all the wiring inside the car and cutting from the loom what i dont need like radio stuff ect, hope I remember where it all goes cause the wire schematic is too big too understand haha.

The last two runners are slightly offset in the r32's to clear the brake master cylinder i believe. The top of the plenum is different from each model as well (AAC valves are different from r32 rb25de and r32 rb20det) Pretty sure the r33 na would be different also.

Depends on what car you are doin the conversion in....In a r32 use the lower half of the rb25de runners, and rb20det plenum. Not sure on r33 inlet manifold port sizes, but the rb25de has bigger ports than the rb20det hence why u use the rb25de runners. I posted some pics a while ago in here showing the difference in sizing....

the engine is going into a VL (/me hides from flamethrowers) and as such should have no real clearance issues i believe. the main thing that worries me is the possibility of 5 & 6 running lean from too much air, but just by looking at my plenum's runners they don't appear to be much different from the other four. i might just leave it and see.

FYI - The R33 runners miss the VL brake booster by 10mm - just enough.

I havn't had any issues and don't expect to. I'm sure nissan has spent millions of R & D money designing these things so that it is not possible to run 1 or 2 cylinders so lean that an engine could die, regardless of whether it's a turbo or N/A plenum.

The R33 25de/det plenum won't go on RB20 manifold though.

The R33 don't have the shorter runners on 5 & 6.

If your 25de plenum fits onto the 20 runners, i think that confirms that the r32 rb25de does have the shorter runners like the 20det.

The R33 are not shorter on 5 & 6.

I've only ever quick looked at them, but im going to say, they are shorter, they don't make the length up in anyway that i could tell,

i.e by running them out to the side or sticking further down and back up to the head inlet.

Im going to say this is the dodgiest piece of Nissan engineering to date, like they made the motor then realised whoops, dont fit in the car, bah, lets just shortern them....

Who has a plenum to prove either way?

Cubes?

Ok, they do appear to loop a little.

Need to pull the sand out i guess and see how much volume is in those runners compared to the others.

It must be close though.

Cheers for the pics, always nice to clear stuff up.

100 pages can't be to far away now :)

okay i just checked my R33 non turbo plenum and it does not look anything like that, the top-bottom join on the runners are all on the same level, and they all look pretty damn similar in length.

so i'd say i'm okay with the plenum as it is......

p.s. jesus there's a lot of goddam coolant lines on these buggers!

SO just the clarify, if using the R32 RB25-DE Head, you can use the R32 RB25-DE lower half of the intake manifold with the RB20 Upper half with no worries? Just making sure before i pick up a RB25-DE manifold this weekend.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
