hey guys i was looking at my engine bay tonight and thinking how to clean it up a little. now im running a microtech which is Map sensor so no afm and it doesnt use the aac icc valve. now the big hose that goes from the elbow of the crossover pipe to the plenum/aac valve. now i dont think the aac valve is in use as theere is no plug plug into the purple plug on it. can i remove this pipe and blocke it off as im soon to be running external gate off the stock manifold and this hose may get in the way a tad.

I would keep it there untill not needed. I mean run your piping similar to mine that way there is no mucking around blocking stuff off. What about front facing plenum? Totally get rid of all the clutter

thought of that but for the power im going for its not needed plus ill need to remove all my battery and redo all my piping its in a vl btw

That is true I'm just lucky on those kind of things. You found anyone over there to make you one of those manifolds. I'm mucking around trying to see if the wastegate can be fitted under the manifold and turbo get it out of the way a bit also keep it looking low key on the stock mani

yeah the boys at ovaboost can do it for me however let me know how you go for the low key side of things as im using this for street however i wouldnt mind seeing a external gate sitting there haha

eventually ill get a forwrd facing plenum JD customs ( a advertiser on calaisturbo makes a forward plenum for rb25 that bolts onto stock runners

As for the hose spigot, if your AAC isn't utilised then block everything up.

As for the plenum, I had a custom one made using a GTR plenum chamber and stock RB20 runners (RB25/30 with an N/a non-vct head) and a Q45 t/b on the front positioned so that I could utilise the standard GTR cooler/plumbing I fitted up. No relocation of battery etc. Barely cost more than a FReddy manifold.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
