If im not mistaken, when you put on the greddy intake it will get rid of all the extra piping, which will only mean that you need new piping going from the cooler exit to the plenum inlet, and with all the piping you will remove you should be able to make up something from that.

I have the same setup and I am still using my CRD core from the kit I bought originally... car was at 260-270 rwkw when I pulled it off the rd (reliably) ... will have 300+ rwkw when I get it back next week (turbo upgrade, mani & camshafts) ... if the cooler is still doing the job then meh.. it can stay!

All I did was run 4' piping from the TB into the guard then reduce it to 3" for the outlet... exactly the same on the other side...4" turbo into guard then 3" into cooler.

You only need to buy the core (assuming your current core runs the same path as the standard piping) so just depends on how much you want to spend... $100-$200 for a JJR or CRD etc .. or $300-$500 for a name brand???? Of course the more expensive brands prolly flow better etc (never investigated) but I ended up doing a cheaper FMIC and putting dollars into a decent oil cooler setup...

      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.
