Well...

I just bolted my stainless manifold onto my rb24DET then bolted my Garrett T04Z ontop of that... But I don't know if its going to fit under the bonnet?

What do you think?

I don't have an engine in the car at the moment or a bonnet on it to measure it, but from the top side of the hole in the engine mount to the top of the turbo is 470mm or 47cm's

Advice Please....

Jeez that thing is sitting high. It looks about 3 quarters of the turbo is above the rocker covers.

I have a photo of my 42R which sits about halfway to my rocker covers and it just fits under the bonnet although I had to grind down part of the knob on the front cover and a 26/30 sits a bit higher.

I think you will find judging against mine that it just fits but will sit against the underbonnet heat shielding.

Hopefully it will fit, the botten is a Fibreglass job so will definetly have to put a deanie on the turbo and some sort of heat proofing on the underside of the bonnet, where do i get that "flame guard" tape from? or wrap?

I won't be cutting any holes in the bonnet, Can somsone measure the distance from the bolt in the passenger side engine mount to the under side of the bonnet if possible?

Out of curiousity whats the legalities of having the turbo half way through the bonnet lol

yes it's illegal to cut a hole in the bonnet, it's illegal to have something sticking up through the bonnet and it's even illegal to have something like that right up close, or even hard against the bonet. there is supposed to be empty space between bonnet and anything hard so that when you drill a pedestrian at 50kmh and they land on your bonnet, the bonnet can crumple before it hits anything hard. could be tough to get around these things.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
