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.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
