Hey guys/gals

I have just brought a 80mm throttle body, that I want to fit to my R33 GTS25 as part of an on going project. I realise that I will need to get a plate made up to fit it to the intake manifold, but am unsure what else I will need to get done to get it to work, keeping in mind that I am already running a after market ecu (GTS Link) so hopefully I won't have any issues with reprogramming the ecu.

Has any one tried putting a larger throttle body or enlarging the factory T/B on there N/A? and what sort of gains were achieved?

Cheers

Rach

on my rb25de headed rb30e, i put a modified xf falcon t/b ( had it bored out 4mm making it 68 mm at the butterfly) . was an easy fit . just ported manifold a bit to suit the t/b . now i remember had to mess with the t/b switch a bit , give you details if you want . as for performance difference , i dont really know cos i never ran the engine before i had put in on .

lol nice

Well it looks like this hasn't been done too often, I will post up results when the T/B goes on

if you are going to put an 80mm throttle on the car, then it would make sense to make sure ALL the induction piping is, at minimum, 80mm or else i don't see the point

my mate with an NA 300zx put on ported throttle bodies when he got his heads ported. They made a nice difference, but he kept all the induction sizes the same so it made sense

interested to see the result... keep us posted

im putting one on my car atm (actually in the middle of it, only on the net to find safc in/out settings) thats on a 30de, ill let you know how it goes.

it sucks heaps at idle though, so with any luck the air speed wont be too bad, on an n/a 25 i really cant imagine you needing anymore than a std rb25 afm

    • 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.
