Have just received my Apexi Power intake kit for my r33 gtr this morning, went to fit it tonight and have had nothing but trouble so far, yes i am following the instructions, yes i have all the brackets in their correct places.

The problem i am having is with the intake pipe for the 1st turbo, if i bolt everything up losely i can not get the end of the afm into the intake pipe for the 1st turbo, i have tried putting the afm into the intake pipe 1st then trying to connect up all the brackets but nothing lines up that way at all, the only way i can get all the brackets to line up is bolt everything on 1st, but then i have the problem of the afm not being able to reach the intake pipe.

Which makes me think maybe i am missing part of the intake pipe for the front turbo, hence the pipe not being long enough causing the afm not being able to connect to the intake.

Ive tried everything to get this on but nothing works, so something has to be missing right? Do i even have the standard intake pipe on my car?

By the way the car was using hks filter kit when i bought it.

Heres some pics, in all the pics all the brackets are lining up and bolted up correctly but the afm for the 1st turbo isnt even sitting inside the intake pipe, am i missing part of the intake pipe?

Hmmm, have just been told by a guy over on gtr.co.uk that apparently the hks filter kits comes with its own rubber intake pipe for the 1st turbo, hence why it is too short and isnt fitting my apexi pods.

Looks like im on the hunt for a new intake pipe.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @GTSBoy yeah i know it was not the "great" idea but it is and option...but i think i will stay on no BoV rather then trying to make it work with "half" this and that. But that GReddy FV2 is cool...i like that you can make it like stock if you want (and have/make the custom pipes) For other thanks! it was alot of information. But for the sound...a dont rly "like" both of them...specialy if they are loud...but if i "must" choose i would rather have little whooosh rather than sutututu with no BoV....BUT that is what is i gonna get. So for the all info i gather. In my case:  No BoV is not that bad cuz it is stock...and iam used to put N/clutch right after rpms are around 1000 so it should be ok...just need to avoid "big" drops. But i do not have the engine in the car so i do not really know how "bad" or good it is. But as i had that little test drive it looked ok. The atmo BoV should be worse car would dump to much fuel specialy between the shifts...so without proper tune/ECU i dont want that. BUT with that...car should drive ok with no problems right? (i do like there is less piping wih this solution) 🙂

      Usually an RB20 won't stay in closed loop idle anyway. The O2 sensor gets too cold, stops swinging.

      They aren't, but it depends on what interests you about an R32-R34. If it's the front engine I6 turbo that tunes well with a manual transmission an E92 335i 6MT is so incredibly cheap. You can get a super clean one for 20-25k USD tops. Put an LSD in it, tune it, have fun with it. If it's the general idea of AWD + turbo and a manual transmission the 996 Turbo is absolutely much more expensive, it's less practical but it's also basically a complete track-ready car from the factory. At least the Mezger doesn't have heaps of oil control issues. And in the US the 996 Turbo and R33 GTR are roughly the same price these days. 996 maybe a bit more now that the hype has abated for old Skylines here.
