Installing A D-jetro On A Rb26?

[toy515]

hey guys

im thinking of buying a d jetro for my rb26, just wondering if anyone has installed there nipples while leaving the plenum ect... on? apexi recommend installing them after the throttle bodys, i really dont want to pull off my plenum and throttle bodies, is it possible to leave everything on and do it?

cheers

I wouldn't leave the plenum section on and try and install the Nipples, You wouldn't risk drilling the holes when its on! Imagine the shavings in there

You are gonna have to remove the plenum section 1000% if you go ahead with it...

I have had two D-Jetro computers installed and thats the way they have been done

do it properly, the end results is well worth it.

Couldnt you install the nipple in the vacuum rail the is on top of the manifold? You would want it where all the TB runners come together. Maybe even the vacuum chamber underneath.

like tony said you should 100% NOT drill the 3rd and 4th runner while still fitted to the car. There is no way you can drill and tap those two holes without getting swarf in the engine.

I have previously been a big fan of doing it properly and installing the 2 nipples in runners 3 and 4 post throttle body as apexi reccomend. some people do the dodge and use one of the post throttle body vacuum lines coming off the little vacuum box and just tee it into 2 feeds for the 2 map sensors. I had previously seen people have problems with that, but lately 1 or 2 have seemed to still work quite well doing it that way.

personally I'd rather do it properly, the downside of course is it's a pretty hefty labour bill to remove and replace throttle bodys etc just to drill and tap 2 holes for the nipples. talk to the bloke tuning it and see what he wants.

thanks for the replys guys

what if i got a haltech e11v2, where would i tap into? im pretty sure they only have one map sensor? (correct me if im wrong?

thanks

check the documentation or ask their local support

there are known compatibility issues with individual throttle bodies and map sensor based ECU's

i believe thats why apexi make you install it in the exact spot on the plenum and not just anyold where

the haltech will work fine off the vacuum balance rail (factory boost gauge port @ the back)
