Hey !

I have just fitted an RB25DET Engine & Gearbox into my 1976 Datsun 260Z. I have also fitted an aftermarket Air-Con system because the standard 70's system just didnt measure up !

Anyway, I DESPERATELY need somone to help me identify which of the 2 hoses in the attached picture should go to the INLET side of the new heater core. I cant find anything in any of my manuals that tells me which is inlet and which is outlet.....

I have an idea what is correct, however so as not to influence your ideas, i wont say what it is.....Please only reply is you KNOW FOR A FACT that your answer is correct - from past expereince, when you ask a question on forums, you get so many answers and end up even more confused !.

Anyway, thanks for your help.....

Woza !!

Thanks heaps tukr32 - I appreciate your help !

Unfortunately, this doesnt offer any clues - I have this in my manual too. The arrows DONT indicate the direction of flow - they indicate the next section (diagram) and part number that connects to it....Bummer hey ! lol

Cheers anyway ! :D

I agree - those are the 2 pipes in question, however how do you know for sure that the one you have marked as flow, IS actually flow, and vice versa ?....Im not being argumentative, merely trying to satisfy myself in my own mind. If you are right, then what confuses me, is that the return pipe goes back to just behind the water pump, which is pumping water out at pressure - that water will want to go through that pipe that you have marked as a return.....

Warren im pretty sure that the return connects back to the thermostat housing not the water pump- if the thermostat isnt open ,the water will continue to circulate around the engine without passing thru the radiator.The one marked return would have to be the return because when the thermostat opens,,the water returns to the radiator ,.as you know hot water rises thru the radiator/cooling as it goes then flows back into the top of the engine,,Does that make sense?, I'm 99.9% sure the diagram is marked correctly.........plse,correct me if i'm wrong,

post-72332-1274085128_thumb.jpgi can tell you for certain that on my 32gtr the pipe coming from the thermostat housing goes to the bottom on the firewall,,,,,,,,and the back one on the block goes to the top on the firewall,, thats for certain, i just followed all my pipes and thats what i found . hope thats more usefull to you ,, :) Edited by tuk32R

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now.

      You sir, big win tonight. Precision never supplied compressor maps in the past and Idk when they started, but it seems they only offer for a few of the older gen2's which is exactly what I have. I punched in some numbers and seem to have gone with the wrong turbo. 600-700whp isn't in the most efficient area and is close to the choke line. 800whp is well off the map. Punching the numbers into a 68mm gen2 turbo map is bang on in the center. Here I was thinking going smaller would shift the power band down, but in reality it would just make it so much worst due to my rev limit. I would have never thought.

      Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.

      iPad gauge cluster

      So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣
