Choice, been watching out for an update on this.

The manifold is looking nice all ceramic coated. Looks really tidy from what I can see.

Very clean job on the wastegate inlet off the turbine housing too. Have seen some butcherous jobs on those before.

Haha, that side of the engine bay is going to be packed as when it's all assembled.

Glad you are still working on this. It's been a while in the making but I'm sure it'll be worth it as soon as you can give it that first squirt eh. Bring on the chubby ass power curve.

Starts taking bets on how long it will take before this one is gutted and caged too.

Yeh the manifold is not too shabby. If I had spent more time planning it out It could have been done a little better, but its going to have to do. If i was doing it again I would change the merge angle of the collector so its closer to ideal around the 10-15 degree marge rather then the 25-30 degree its at now. I was worried about it being too close to the bonnet, but it appears to be further away then expected. Live and learn.

I can say when its all in and going there literally wont be room for anything, at all.

Certainly has been a long time. But its getting there. Im hoping for the same thing!

Lol there should be enough room for everything I need, I think. It is going to be a little tight where the outlet of the turbo goes into the charger inlet though. I will cross that bridge when I get to it :) But its very safe to assume the engine bay will look full!

Lol yeh I should have purged it, but I was too lazy to machine up some bungs. I seem to like doing things the hard way lol. If I was doing this all at work then I would have as material and machines would be there. But its done now.

Took forever to weld it.....stupid lobster backs.

Its steps back down to 3" to match up with the existing system I made when it was just supercharged. I didnt really wanna fork out for more mufflers and redo the whole system in 4". This will have to do!

Its not an ideal step down either, its a 60 degree step rather then the proper 15 degrees or whatever its supposed to be. The first expander is more like what it should be.

Looking sweet!

was that cone hard to source?

It's a tube reducer. You can get them concentric and eccentric. Available in 304 or 316L

Cheers mate.

Well wastegate outlet is all tacked up, ran out of time to weld it. Lol no pictures sorry. However I have spent the last 3 hrs at work this morning working on the charger intake flange to accept a 3" tube to hook up the turbo outlet. Starting to take shape, Its going to be tight getting the turbo outlet plumbed into the charger intake though :wacko: .

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
