Hey,

We are in the process of gathering ideas on what is missing in the auto performance industry in relation to adapters/flanges!

If you have required an adapter that you couldn't find let us know.

This may relate to adapters for BOV's or anything else you may think off...

All feedback will be greatly appreciated... and if possible include images :thumbsup:

Thanks,

Brendan

Thanks!

We will have a look into fuel rail adapters - seems like a great product.

Fuel rail conversion kits to suit R33 side feed injectors converting to top feed items such as Seimens deka.

Thanks,

Do you have a link to an image/description of the actual product?

just had to make my own adaptor to go from 90mm to 120mm v-band to v-band, don't know if anyone currently makes these.. garrett told me it would be a custom item.....

Thanks,

Do you have any images of the actual item?

Nah and its on the car now...

we just took the 90mm v-band take off that comes with the turbo and a disc cut at 120mm diameter with 90mm hole in the middle, with the appropriate angle around the outside for the v-band and welded them together...

so we v-band the back of the turbo to the 90mm flange which steps up to 120mm and v-bands to the 120mm dump.. all within the space of about 30mm

hope this make sense, I'll see if I can get a picture of it on the car

cheers

Sorry mate, I couldnt link you to another product for obvious reasons.

What I am refering to is merely a fuel rail that will fit an R33 RB25DET motor using top feed injectors from a R32 GTR (for example).

What you would hope to acheive is a product that fits with minimal modification and comes with all parts necessary to install the set injector (bar the injectors themselves).

This would mean the rail would require the fittings for the fuel lines, and come with new o-rings where required along with mounting hardware.

The MAIN requirement is that the set will fit the motor with its factory intake inplace, there ARE products such as these on the market at present yet generally they do not fit with the factory intake in place.

We actually offer an RB25DET fuel rail with a top feed injectors set-up but again it's for the GReddy plenum only - we will look into it though.

Making up an adapter plate for rb26 intake plenum to be used on rb25, I think blitz make one but they are rare

Already made. Shane made them ages ago. We are about to run off some on the mill for our own race car...

off topic, how about a full bolt-in oil cooler kit with thermostat, all the correct brackets/bolts/hoses cut to length, hose mounting points, plastic conduit for the braided lines so it won't rub against things and a price that's reasonable.

We do stock an oil cooler w/ filter relocation kit, but yes it does not come with a thermostat and a lot of customers do seem to want one.

Indeed you do, make that fit the stock manifold and at that price they will sell like hotcakes.

Another item I would like to see available is an exhaust side spacer plate that is reversible to switch between RB25 and RB26 bolt patterns.

the concept is simple, an bolt through the plate replaces the original studs in the end exhaust ports that are different, and a stud presses in from the opposite side to accept the alternate bolt pattern.

By reversible I refer to both sets of bolt holts being able to accept a stud or bolt from both sides to make it easily reversed for the opposite application. Longer studs for the middle 4 cylinders will be needed to be supplied with the kit.

This could see people converting to RB26 setups from their failing 20 or 25s without having to replace expensive manifolds, or could see more twin turbo setups floating around too.

Yes that is true, but it's not a full bolt in solution, the end-user/buyer needs to fabricate their own brackets, cut and shut the oil lines to length, etc..

What about an adapter to bolt RB25 GRreddy plenums to RB20 heads?

Some great ideas... now we just need to find a good fabricator to get things rolling with a sample product.

Any recommendations would be great!

Can't help on the fabrication but if you need any 3D modelling done shoot me a PM :P

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
