Hey guys, i was just toiling through the many pages of ebay crap when i came across inlet manifolds for R33's.

does anyone produce an item for the RB25de or would it be the same as a turbo ones, or would it just not exist at all?

also is there any gains to be had by replacing it on the NA skylines?

(because i remember on my old crossflow after replacing the original with a redline item gains were quite noticable)

Im pretty sure the bolt pattern for the de and det's would be same same, so in theory you could buy an aftermarket one for a det and it would bolt up no probs being an N/A i doubt you would see much gain hp wise but you may gain slightly more throttle response which may not be very noticeable

From what I have heard you will loose throttle response, you wont gain any hp, it will be a headf*ck unless you spend close to a grand for a proper one as ebay ones may need to be altered to fit or wont be nice and flush and you will have leaks. not needed on an N/A at all.

they are the same fitment,and i'd say you would gain power because the intake temps will be lower without that pipe going over an hot engine and with a cold airbox you should see some gains,but you would get lots more power by fitting a turbo

Hello Nikk

Unfortuneately i have also ponderd the same and the answer is no.... the design of the intake pipes ect to to create velocity for the air .... the side mount inatke Greddy ect wont work and u will lose quite alot of power if u tired :) i did hear that one person had ones custom made but never herd or saw how they went.

Spend more and get less. the aftermarket ones seem to be an all loss mod.

I would go for an rb26 system if I was you. just make an adaptor plate to make it work

I was actually thinking about that, cus of the ITB's. Then just move the battery to the boot and chuck together a decent cai and airbox on the left side.

batteries already in the boot miguelegant? and yer putting ibts on is all good and well execpt im pretty sure theyd cost an arm and a leg.

Whats a ball park figure to get them bought fitted tuned and with the correct additional running gear?

4 doors have the battery in the engine bay for some odd reason. RB26 intakes have ITB's. It all just goes into a single chamber, Would be a lot easier to setup and have working properly than a full on ITB setup with trumpets I'd imagine.

    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
