What's your dirt bike?

I've got a Jim berry Full monty clutch in mine, it's great, never slips, doesn't make any noise and is really driveable. Never stall it :D

I have a nice customized plenum, and Andrew at Pro auto said that cars with almost identical mods without the plenum and TB(Q45) typically made less power, and he said it definatly improved flow. mine has a 35r with a .82r

I also run a gizzmo thermal gasket, to stop heat transfer from the head to the plenum, and the plenum stays quite cool.

so there are gains to be had, I did it as a sort a package, highmount mani, 35r, plenum, TB etc.

shorter piping is always a bonus too. I think I reduced it by a metre all up.

and it looks mint =D

I wouldn't be tempted by a cheapo job tho, I'm not a chinese hater but its one thing you dont want to fail. pain to get on and off too. I still had to make a throttle cable bracket and also Mod the water temp senor ports as when the plenum was built it was dummied up on a head with no VCT sensor!, 10 hours of fab later lol. was worth it in the end tho.

I dont doubt that for minute with your set up Jack but with a stock 25 neo a FFP as a "first" mod is a waste of money IMO especially if all its for is cosmetics.

yep I agree, took me a few years to get around to it. Ecu, turbo & injectors etc and wayyyyyyy more important that a FFP.

datsuns dont really wake up till you've got a reasonable turbo and supporting gear on there to complete the dish.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
