Hi Guys,

Just a qucik question because i'm at work and can't sort through 50 posts to find an answer...Can someone confirm is r32 rb20det boxes are the same as r33 rb25de boxes? I've heard casual talk here and there that they are and need some confirmation...are they physically identical or with slight differences? Gear ratios the same? any input would be greatly appreciated...cheers fellas....

33's have stronger boxes..

From what I remeber.. (and please dont take my word for it.. it was a long time ago and was just flipping through the manual).. but.. I think the 33 1st 2nd 3rd gears are SLIGHTY taller.. only by 2-5 teeth..

i dont think that works mate...you can use a 25box behind the rb20...but the 25 box is slightly longer and you just need to make up a bracket to weld onto the std crossmember so it picks up the original holes. Two of the std one will line up and the bracket will let you reach the other two.

you could use th 32 box but i wouldn't count on it lasting long, they're not the strongest of box. your talking about putting a rb25det in a 32 and using the 32 box, tht could be done. 32's and 33's have different final drive (diff) ratio's so your speedo would be out if you put a 33 box on a 32 diff.

i dont think that the 33 na box is any stronger than the 32 box, most people same they are the same but it may only be refering to the gears themselvers and not the whole box because i think they are slightly different

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity.

      100% the factory sender is tapered, that is how it seals (well, that and teflon paste or tape)

      Thanks folks - I've saved a few links and I'll have to think of potential cable/adapters/buying fittings. First step will be seeing if I can turn the curren abortion of a port into something usable, then get all BSPT'y on it. I did attempt to look at the OEM sender male end to see if it IS tapered because as mentioned you should be able to tell by looking at it... well, I don't know if I can. If I had to guess it looks like *maybe* 0.25 of a mm skinnier at the bottom of the thread compared to where the thread starts. So if it is tapered it's pretty slight - Or all the examples of BSPT vs BSPP are exaggerated for effect in their taper size.

      Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
