Al Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Well my car has just been on the road for a week, and i am very happy with the final result. During Build: Finished Product: The bay was done in that style and using those colours, to match my exterior: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/176811-post-pics-of-your-r33-engine-bay/page/4/#findComment-3736522 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craved Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Looks good Al Love the heat sheild on the turbine housing - hope you dont mind but im going to copy that hahahah Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/176811-post-pics-of-your-r33-engine-bay/page/4/#findComment-3736588 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Thanks Chris! No probs in coping it either. In fact i'll give you some info on how it's constructed. The shield is actually two halves. The front half (covering the turbine) is cut from a 6" aluminum tube, and is held on the turbo by a bracket that bolts onto the exhaust flange bolts. This cover also has two threaded tabs that allow the rear half (covering the dump pipe) to bolt on to. The rear half is made from sheet aluminum that has been shaped and cut to curve around the dump pipe.

Al Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Hi everybody! if you have done any detailing on your RB25 engine bay, could you please post up some pics? ive searched and found an abundance of RB26 engine bays but not many 25s. i need some ideas and inspirations! im also thinking about pulling out the windscreen washer bottle. anyone done this before? also whats the process with removing the device off the timing belt cover? what do you actually have to mark? cheers Sam Mine now sits behind the front bar (inside the guard) with a tube coming through, into the engine bay: Refer to intake side pics, above. I think the bottle is off a Honda Prelude or Accord.

The rear half is made from sheet aluminum that has been shaped and cut to curve around the dump pipe. i'd probably manually form the 6" pipe part - as its probably difficult/expensive to buy (especially that small quantity) - Cheers for the info though Did you powdercoat or paint the black pieces - fuel rail, cas bracket, inlet cam gear, strut brace mounts?
