Are you able to provide photos of the kit in this thread 1400r?

From what I've read, the kits are worth a mint, so I'm going to look into fabricating my own.

PM me if you like 1400r. :)

so you can copy it ?

Or just get yourself a Plazmaman plenum kit, $900 odd. Look a bit better than the Greddy ones and also took me and a mate a couple hours to put on and it was all done, you can retain std TB without an adaptor plate like the Greddy plenum and you can also use the std throttle cable.... except for the intercooler piping does need to bee addressed obviously

That defeats the purpose of looking into an ITB setup.

What do you guys want to know? I've been running the 26 intake and ITB's for a few years on my 25.

I would just like to know what some of the major problems were that you came accross whilst fitting everything up and how u went about overcomming the problem?

Things like what needed to be modified and in what way, such as the VCT which u just removed, or what u needed to relocate?

cheers

I just used a bolt to plug the VCT hole. Needed some gasket material for custom gaskets. I also did a fair bit of port matching. My RB25 is in a R32, so I have VERY little room between the shock tower/brake master cylinder and the surge tank. If the tank ever needs to come off, the BMC is going to have to come out, and maybe the engine. Also, I think I had to use the RB26 oil cooler/filter mount.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
