Just a quick question for you ppl who have installed the freddy manifold, I pulled mine off the other day and noticed I only have 4 bolts underneath holding it on out of the 6 there , anyone else only using 4? I can't remember why I only had 4 on maybe 2 of them didn't line up with the head ?

I'm using all 6 and everything lined up fine. And it is a bit of a pain to do in the car. It's not so bad once you just accept the fact that it's just going to take you all day to do 10 bolts up and crack a few tins while you do it :)

thanks for the quick replies, once i get manifold back i will attempt to line them all up. my manifold was one of the first ones available on market like 5yrs ago, so maybe the newer designed ones are better not too sure!

ill report back

Big horrible thread bump lol.

 

has anyone any other options/links for this or a similar thread? Started my install ages ago and only getting back to it now And haven't a clue how it all went together

the link above for rb26.net doesn't work now either ?

Any help appreciated,

thanks. 

Noone at all save the pictures from it? Even bits and pieces from when you did your own install?

To be more exact, the bottom pipe of the is iacv? Where does it go? IMG_4821.JPG.17576f43860de7d4bed2b7af66bec562.JPG

Which nipple does he extend the turbo water lines to in the guide? I have mine running off the pipe he blocks off beside the thermostat?

what 2 wires need extended?

What is the welded piece of galvanised tube for the aac that's mentioned about?

If anyone could help it'd be massively appreciated. 

Surely someone was smarter than me and saved the thread for offline use....

That open tube you have needs to be plumbed in upstream of the throttle body . Its the air supply for the Idle Air Control Valve . In standard form it connects to a barb on the original crossover pipe - upstream of the throttle body .

For everyone playing at home, its actually pretty simple to do. When you have all the parts and are trying to put it all back toether it makes sense and can only really go together one way. Utilising your brain and the desciption that ix9 provided you can do it.

Bumping this 10 year old thread and asking the OP (who hasn't been online for over a year) for pictures that he has said he ne longer has is proooooobably not going to yield any results. Have you actually searched through this thread as i know for a fat they have been rehosted somewhere else online at least once or twice.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
