EY guys, was looking at soem things to do witht he stimulus money! yay, Looking at sourcing some GTR injectors, a GTR fuel pump, and a GTR Plenum. All these should work on the rb25? Any one got any info on this before i go do it. Any1 got any lying around they wann get rid of:D, Im 99% sure the injectors and the fuel pump would be fine, not sure about the plenum though. If anyone knows anything let me know

Cheers guys

What other mods are you doing to support this upgrade?

Bigger turbo? Intercooler? Exhaust?

There are gains to be had with other mods done first. :D

was going to do cooler n exaust and all the other stuff done at once then get it tuned.

street, grip or drift? If its gonna be a streeter, forget the gtr plenum. And as Ruby said, list your current mods and people here can help you determine whats next.

ok so far i have done....... nothing lol!

got a boost controller, jst a manual one, running 10psi

my exhaust is going on very soon when i find some time to put it on, its a full turbo back 3" exaust with a split dump and a high flow metal cat & high flow muffler to keep it quiet.

then the cooler was going to be next, jst thought with the gtr plenum it would be easier to fit the piping then i dont have to go over the top of the engine.

then was going to do the fuel pump, and injectors.

I wasnt going to worry about a power fc, prob get a e-manage of get a r32 ecu and get it re mapped

The plenum was just a thought. Some one suggested it and i thought id ask.

why not use the money on spring/shock combo or coilovers and a good set of tyres?

lol forgot about my coil overs. Got a set already, fully adjustable damper & height. I think there section spec rmia. Apparently there gud but i dunno they came with the car when i got them. And already got some 18" work emotion xt9 i think rims.

sway bars? camber arms? decent tread?

yea was looking at some sway bars, last night, they all do the same thing really dont they? wats and approx price i should look at paying for them? Well i think i got soem decent tread on the tyres, nothing spesh, but dont realli wanna spend $1000 on jst tyres. The ones on there grip pretty well already.

If you go a Cooling Pro stealth fmic kit, then you won't need the gtr plenum. The Cooling Pro kit uses the stock piping in the engine bay. Just seems a waste for a gtr plenum and injectors if your engine/turbo is pretty much stock.

As far as i was aware RB26 injectors are top feed and RB25 injectors are side feed....so thats a no no to that plan Adam...but you can definately fit a GTR fuel pump...ummm i wont change the plenum as it flows well for above 300+rwkw so why bother changing what doesnt need to be changed....get your cooler, exhaust, give it a good servicing with irridium plugs regapped, and then you can crank it up to 12 psi....and you will definately feel the difference then....

good luck with it mate

gtr plenum on a gtst is a kent of a job to do and gtr injectors wont fit , and they are only 444cc , your better off buying some nismo 555cc or 750cc and an aftermarket fuel rail ,

after having a gtr motor and now having a 25det im gonna keep the stock plenum , most of the time youll find that stock parts are good for decent power as krishy said ;)

if your after upgrading your injectors i would say keep your standard fuel rail as that flow's just as good....i know as i am still using my stock fuel rail and its no problems so far...its the injectors that will be causing the issue not the fuel rail....my stocko injectors made 196rwkw on 13psi....so they have a decent flow....and it wasnt even leaning out at that stage

Yeah if your staying side feed no need for aftermarket fuel rail

....a full turbo back 3" exaust with a split dump and a high flow metal cat & high flow muffler to keep it quiet.
with most aftermarket exhaust systems will need more than one muffler to keep the dB's legal
then was going to do the fuel pump, and injectors.

an aftermarket computer or remap will be required to control the injectors and keep the A:F ratio in check.

+1

I run a 3" system with hi flow cat, berklee box resonator and 5zigen muffler and its a nice quiet note, tested with a meter at 90dba. Had the car in the workshop 3 times until I was happy with it. ;)

so a rb26 plenum would fit on a rb25? i didn't know that i always thought because rb26 plenums have seperate throttle bodies you need an adpter which costs alot to run it or something! not sure and gtr injectors are top fed not side fed and you're better off going with a aftermarket fuel pump if it's only gonna cost you a few more pennies!

GTR fuel pumps flow well till about 300 rwkw anyway so decent upgrade without the $$$

put your exhaust and cooler on. dont bother with inectors or plenum (if you got the plenum it would need to be modified then also custom piping for the cooler, most cooler kits are to suit the standard style plenum) injectors are plenty for what your chasing and you can always buy a fuel pressure regulator n run more pressure increasing the output of injectors

go grab a bosch 040 or gtr pump, new K&N element filter for your airbox, some new spark plugs gapped down to .7 (iridium are ok but a waste of money better going the cheap copper plugs and changing them every service) then call jeff from 'the speed lab' and get her booked in for a remap tune her at 13psi this should give you enough poke to keep you happy for a while

The RB26 Plenum only fits a RB25 with an adaptor plate which can be very expensive to buy/make and really not worth it. JMS are selling a whole kit complete with the GTR plenum for almost $2k! Its not really worth doing as the problem with running the adaptor plate apart from space is the atomisation of the fuel as the GTR plenum positioned the injectors for optimal location to get perfect atomisation into the cylinder. By using an adaptor plate you are spacing the GTR plenum away from the head which in turn positions the injectors further back. A friend of mine did this mod and ended up selling all the bits because he wasn't happy with the results for all the cash he outlayed and had better results from a Greddy Plenum for a RB25 with a bigger throttle body.

As everyone else has stated do the smaller mods first based on a cost vs benefit. There are plenty of cheap mods that make a decent difference as everyone has pointed out. For a grand I would buy + fit cat back exhaust, fmic/larger side mount, rear swaybar, bleed valve, half decent front brake pads like Ferodo Formula $125 Trade makes your car feel faster as you can confidently brake later. If your fuel pumps stuff swap that for the brake pads.

You wont need bigger injectors if you are running stock turbo

You wont need to upgrade plenum unless you are running way more power than stock plus its one more thing to change if you get defected so why bother

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
