Vic Autosalon, R32 Wit Kustom Front Facin Intake Mani


Recommended Posts

hey guys,

I was at Autosalon, and i spotted this, pretty sure its a SAU car or 'wang racing' that someone on SAU would know.

I was just wondering if this is a cut and shut and a rebore of the stock item or is an aftermarket item?

The reason I ask is that it might be a way to save some cash if it is just a cut and shut :whistling:

ps. sorry about the crappy phone pics

URAS unfortunately I cant dispute your generalised claim as I never just added the intake alone with before and after dyno results.

I did a heap of mods inc new turbo at the same time. The main reason was for unique looks and to match the R33 GTR FMIC.

If you look closely on the firewall behind it you will see my solution to the Coolant Air Bleed that needs to retained somehow when you fit another type of manifold.

The cost was about $1500 all up and all the build info is here Visit My Website

I think what URAS was getting at was that changing the entry position of a factory design inlet manifold can have detrimental effects on the distribution of air flow to each cylinder. It may not even be evident on the dyno but you might find that, should you have lambda sensors on each cylinder, the air fuel ratios will vary between cylinders. It makes it harder to tune as you only have an average A/F ratio coming out the exhaust when infact one cylinder may be at 13:1 and one at 11:1.

Does look good though :)

Yeah Dave I know where your coming from.

It may be interesting to put the manifold on our RB20 Drag Ute which has pyros on all cylinders running a Autronic to see if in fact it is no good.

Maybe we should put lambda sensors as well...

I did have a try at extending the port throats for torque but did not bellmouth them and left a fair bit of volume as well.

Also I paid attention to velocity going in after the TB to try to even it out a bit.

BUT, it was for LOOKS! :)

5 mins on a flow bench will show you what i mean, hardly worth swapping accross to another car, but hey if it was for looks it definately works well :wave:

    • 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?
