fail. got bored and started refitting my turbo, had to take all the lines off to fit it on, put the turbo back in, new gasket, bolted up, lock tabs ready, start refitting the lines, water feed, done, water drain, done, oil feed... well yeah... turns out i cant get the oil feed on with the turbo on. fail. lol.

Looks neat Ruby :P

Got a call from AM Andrew, my dump/front pipe should be ready today :D

heslos bring mine around for me today. :D

got a pic of it the other day, looks much awesome.

:edit:

new cooler looks good ruby, how was the fitment? will have to look at ordering mine pretty soon me thinks.

and enough working on my car for now. cant get the f**king oil fitting on the block to go back on. ill attack it again after a few hours sleep i think.

Fitment was easy. Didn't even need to remove the front bar. Took all the measurements I needed, removed old fmic and piping, make up some sturdy brackets for mounting the new fmic, slide it into place, bolt up. Check position/center ... tighten mounting bolts. Then fabricate up the pipework ... that took a while :P Still using the old silicone hoses and clamps, looking for new ones this week.

Good to know I can still weld :D No leaks, and neat welds. I pull the piping all off later this week/weekend to tidy up some of the splatter and paint it satin black. Fmic will stay polished this time :P

Because I have the type M bar now, the old fmic looked 'sad' in that gapping mouth :P The delta fin fmic suits the bar well and I was able to mount it lower than the previous fmic, allowing more flow to the cooler. :D

I'm interested in getting a dump/front pipe combo... can u PM me details of how much it cost?

cheers

-D

Pm not working for me at the moment!

$360 for the split dump and $250 for 200 cell hi flow cat. Not sure about dumps and front pipes for RB26 though.

    • 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.
