Does anyone have or know where I can get the above. The handbook with all my equipment is in Japanese. Pages 13-19 are on where to put the hose connectors in the inlet manifold in lieu of the AFM's, and this I'm particular in need of translation.

Can anyone help pls?

This discussion is for install on twin turbo RB26DETT setup.

English translation for Powerfc? Not gunna happen Mike unless you pay for it yourself as far as I can work out anyway. These Apexi ecus' are touted for domestic consumption only therefore no need for instructions in heathen tongue.

However, having studied my instructions at some length & being in the same boat as you (linguistically challenged) I have come to the following conclusions.

1. Page 15 diag., shows the inlet manifold disassembled but I doan wanna do that.

2. Page 16 diag., shows location of sensor tapping points offset from tdc approx 30degs either side of centre on cylinders 3 & 4, possibly immediately adjacent to injector inserts but definitely on that piece of hardware. (Engine side of throttle bodies) Point 2 on this page gives tapping drill size for 1/8"NPT nipples as 8.4~8.5mm which sounds & measures up good enough.

3. Page 17 diag., goes into some detail to show you that the sensor nipple whilst being drilled & tapped into these locations suggests that you should not screw the nipple in so far as to protrude into the manifold passage & disrupt air/fuel mist flow characteristics. Good idea. Like flush with inner wall is ideal & as far as you should go with fitting nipple. For my money it also suggests you should use a quality heat & solvent resistant thread sealant. I would go further to use a sealant that does not set solid as you may want to remove nipples later & don't wanna be ripping aluminum thread out whilst doing so.

4. Page 19 diag., shows sensor transmitters fitted to injector harness shroud at locations close by cyl 3 & 4 tapping points. Another good idea as impulse lines generally speaking are best kept as short as possible. All good so far but it is up to you to work out how to attach transmitters to injector harness shroud. Some tune shops use cable ties. Tacky but I have not decided what I will do yet.

Because I don't want to disassemble inlet manifold down to the last nut & bolt I am in the process of deciding how to attack the actual drilling of manifold in place. Accurately. Twice. With a big fat metal ripping drill.

There is another option which is to use a FESTO 5mm threaded portion/4mm tube connection (part # 3562, type CK-M5-4) instead of the nipple supplied in which case you can do the deed with a much narrower diameter drill. 5mm tapping size, possibly around 4mm drill size. The internal diameter of both these fittings is around 2mm so no drama there. FESTO products are used most often in the Food/drug production industry on electro-pneumatic control systems. (Know anyone in electro/mech maintenance at the breweries Mike)?

Else Google for Aust., supplier in your area. These fittings come ali or steel. I would pick steel for strength as they are somewhat delicate in you knock them with a spanner.

Anyway whatever I do the first exercise is to precisely mark (centre punch) & drill (pilot hole) for eventual final sized tapped sensor point. To do this I will need a longer than standard twist drill bit & may even hand drill with egg beater arrangement so's to have total control of swarf & when to stop.

Having drilled to final diameter the rest should b a p of p. Apart from small matter of wiring into 2nd AFM input when instructions give physical pin locations & not pin numbers. Just have to trust 'em I guess.

PS: I have heard a rumour that some back sliders tap only one hole &/or tee into an existing vacuum line off the manifold but I have yet to discover the exact vacuum point. In any event I am reluctant to part out $200 on something that is plugnplay. Happy to fork out for dyno tuning time but.

See photo's of RB26DETT manifold in place for locations.

Happy drilling. :happy:

Graham, thanks for your comments and I am sure you are correct in all instances. I used to have a Japanese boarder for 5 years and now for the first time they could have been useful. Never mind.

If I get anything done I will let everyone know.

On another topic, have you heard anything about JE forged pistons? I am about to build up my RB26 for my Datsun 240Z.

Also BOV's - anything you can recommend (? Greddy R or Blitz etc)?

thanks Mike

Nah, sorry Mike. My knowledge is limited to research :) into D-Jetro 'cos I bought one & discovered it was all Jap to me. Don't suppose you keep in touch with your boarder? Or his sister maybe? :laugh: BOV choice would come further down the track when u zero in on exhaust setup wouldn't it. You could always checkout the tech faqs on this forum & then the "for sales" on this forum. There would be heaps of guys out there that could advise you otherwise I'm sure. If they could get over the thought of a 26 in a Z car. :) Me, I'm up for anything into anything if that's whatya wanna do & may the force of your motor be with you. :happy:

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
