Hey there,

I fitted a greddy plenum to WHITER33's car, the plenum was a little tricky to fit. I didnt end up fitting the auxilliary air control valve, left it off because his car runs a haltech ecu, was able to use the stepper motor for cold start idle up. On the stepper motor it has 2 hose inlets, one runs to the AAC valve, the other to a position infront of the throttle butterfly in the cooler pipe. I simply ran a hose between the stepper motor and the cooler pipe and blocked off the other end of the stepper motor. We ended up fitting an 85mm hypertune billet throttle body. As for coolant hoses etc, i blocked off the 2 small hoses running to the factory throttle body. The top radiator hose fits, just gotta turn it upsidedown or flip it over, you'll work it out. You will also need lengthen you wiring to the stepper motor. The job wasnt that bad to do, but you will appreciate it more once finished. Makes things alot easier.

They only ran hoses to the stock throttle bodies to prevent the butterfly sticking open in very cold conditions, wouldnt bother with the hassle of running them. Then again i wouldnt bother with the stock one after seeing the difference a decent one can make.

Don't suppose you took step by step photo's.. I see tons of threads talking about installing these plenums but no one with a really good step by step.. I sure would love to see an install FAQ with step by step pics.

BTW thanks fo explaining that i don't need the AAC.. I've been trying to figure out where I'm supposed to mount it or if i needed to buy a different type.

Thanks

Sorry to hijack, but I see you took your cam gear cover off, I've thought about taking mine off, but was under the impression that the sensor on the passanger side gear was something important that I shouldn't touch, and would need to be re-aligned properly. Could you clarify if perhaps this is easier to do then I assumed? :blink:

I just put a little mark on the CAS and where it bolts onto so i could line it back up again. Easy.

WHITER33, Are you keeping the weapon and going with the big stalled auto and NOS?? Come on 10z!! Happy boosting!

Yeah will be keeping this for a little longer now as with the power its making its awesome fun to drive but the 18s dont like the way in comes on boost...

Im looking at a direct port NOS kit at the moment and want to get that installed and setup before i get the auto so i can work out what stally i need. A 3lt bottom end is also still on the cards or i could stroke the 2.5

i didn't take step by step photo's either, but am willing to help others fit their plenums. it does start to get a bit tight under the plenum but im so much happier with the overall looks and performance of the engine bay. i can sorce these plenums for around $350 including freight.

If these are those copy ones, are you cleaning out the insides of them? from reports form other members on here there is alot of slag on the inside of them that needs to be ground off (casting defects), other than that they are ok though i think.

      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

      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.
