looks sexy as! is that stainless piping or polished alloy? Looks like stainless? Need a stainless shield for your pod filter to match, keep those intake temps down a lil more.

Looks very tidy! Hope my engine bay ends up looking like that. I like the wheels also.

small thing bernard, the intercooler piping would make more sense like the gibson style (per plazmaman version pictured)

there may not be much heating of the charge due to the proximity to the turbo but given the tidy pipepwork it shouldn't be a big stretch to copy something like this and shorten the pipe run.

Yeah the shorter pipework makes more sense, as does keeping it from the turbo, but then there'd be less shininess.

Who else has decent engine bays....?

Your cam covers are alloy - should polish them. And the gear cover (im pretty sure) is stamped steel? strip it... polish it too... :-)

looks great, i would have moved that power steering container out the way as its likely to get damn hot in that area, i moved mine next to the radiator right at the front on the passenger side, u can possibly spot it in these pics below.

Sonofabitch i KNEW youd post up and make us all look bad haha....

Is the coilpack cover in these alloy as well? What is the cam gear cover made of? is it all alloy, if youve managed to polish it up like that? And is that the stock inlet plenum too?

Makes mine look sh1t haha...

going by the fact that it is plumbed into the rocker covers, I would suspect it is a catch can?

yes its an oil catch can, and yes all the covers (cam, coilpack, cam gear, stock plenum, etc) are aluminium. I have polished my alternator and water outlet hoses as well, plus anything else that is polishable. Definately not user friendly to work on but, its a nightmare to keep looking clean and i rebuff mine every other week lol, but mine does get worked on alot and i make sure i dont touch the polished bits with greasy fingers or it doesnt like coming off too easy :D

      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

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      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.
