"then had to plumb in the intercooler line.. ther is no nipple so i cut the vac line from TB and inserted a HKS T piece (HKS POWAH AND SPORTS)." <----

thats where i have mine connected. i went to repco (or most car shops should have them) and bought a screwin brass nipple. took the cooler pipe off and drilled and tapped a thread into it. then used som,e of that white plumber tape too seal it off so it didnt leak. you could also weld around it but mine didnt leak so i didnt bother.

search nipple there should be heaps of info on it

goodluck

i just installed my intercooler aswell and put a nipple after the cooler next to the head but the boost went from 6psi to 9-10psi without touching anything else. is that meant to do that??

Also i had a bov that i took off, what do i do with the line that was going to that,block it off??

You need to put the nipple after the turbo but before the intercooler

Yes - block it off. (or run the line to your new BOV

not needed on an RB20.

RB20 turbo has the nipple on the front of the turbo (compressor housing).

rb20turbofront.jpg

see the vacuum line that goes from the wastegate actuator (the circle thing to the right hand side of the turbo entry) to the compressor cover.

RB20's don't use a boost controller valve to control boost.

the spring that is in that wastegate actuator is made to keep the waste gate closed for long enough to flow 10psi of air through. then it opens.

The RB25 turbo has a standard wastegate actuator spring of 5psi.

so they use an electronic valve to increase this to 7psi after 4500rpm or something.

so the vacuum line an RB25 goes from the turbo wastegate actuator, to the electronic controler (attached to the suspension tower right in front of the power steering canister, has a blue vacuum line going to it)

from there, in a stock RB25, it goes to a nipple on the pipe that goes from the turbo to the intercooler.

long story with pictures short...

RB20 doesn't need nipple..

      Returning after a long time!

      I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
