I'll write up a how-to thread for sure, there just isn't enough info for these on a 34. Hopefully it's easier than it seems, but it'll be fun no doubt

There's 12 posts in this thread, half of them talking about whether the stock fuel system will work. If you're not gonna read those 12 posts, can you at least wait until I post the how-to thread so yo

Right, so after a few back and forth emails with the Plazmaman sales team, I'm highly doubting they are going to be any help to me. I asked (before Dahtone replied here) whether the stock top feed fue

had to remove my washer bottle filler neck as my battery had to be fully pushed against the chassis.

so gonna have to connect a clear hose and run it from the washer bottle into the engine bay. dodgey but it'll work :miner:

I'll just ditch the stock washer bottle and buy a small universal one. Either relocate it to somewhere else in the engine bay if it fits, otherwise to the boot. Stock one is ugly anyway :P

A lot of people put the battery in the boot (for cars that don't already have it there) and get a fabricator to make a combined washer bottle/catch can to fit in the available space (some with cut outs for the intercooler piping). I am too cheap for that and I have found that my washer bottle can share the space with the piping by making some new brackets. I may have to go with the flexible filer hose as above^^^ but am not prepared to lose either front or rear washers they are good for an extra 10kw at least!

IAC valves can easily be replaced by a competent tuner. My Plazmaman plenum allowed me to run the stock RB25 IAC (upside down / had to extend two wires) but I ended up pissing it off and replacing it with a piece of flat steel, some silicon and the bolts that normally hold the IAC in place.

Not really, pwr steer idle up, a/c idle up, auto anti stall etc are all required for the niceties of a daily driver.... many afm based ecu's strugle without one. Nistune for one is happy to make upwards of 500rwkw but does not like having the iac removed.

if your ecu allows it and your not fussed about having a higher idle than std etc than yes it can be tuned around (mostly map based ecus).

The only people who seem to get good results with these are guys who need to justify the fact they sold it to the customer.... yes we tuned heaps yes they work (like std) would i put one on my own car ... no.

i wanted to run mine without IAC but my tuner advised against it for the above reasons for a/c, power steering etc as it is recommended to run it.

if i could, i would remove it and tune without it as it makes my engine bay look so messy.

Plenty of space in the boot for a washer bottle! - (no I'm not joking, that's where mine is).

Worth popping your boot to fill it up when you have this happy.gif

screw that.... that whole car is super sexy.

Thanks! Looks totally different since this pic - alot has changed. Sadly it was the only shot I had that showed my plenum so I had to use it.

The plazmaman makes you actually look forward to changing plugs, instead of putting it off because of the annoying cross pipe set up :D

You mean the loss in torque? That's got nothing to do with the motor, it's the length of the runners on the intake. As a general rule, shorter runners = less mid-range more high end, longer runners = more mid-range less up top.

Niceties of a daily driver? Lol. Sometimes I forget that my priorities don't extend to giving a shit about those things. Still the car functions perfectly well, doesn't stall, steers fine and doesn't have air-con. ;)

Bugger that, for a daily i want aircon :thumbsup: All i gotta do is figure out an A/C fan to replace the stock one as the Plazmaman intercooler is so much thicker than my old ARC :cool:

Quick question for those with FFPs and stock bovs, where are you relocating your bov to and how did you do it? I'm currently thinking about what I'm going to do with my stock GTR bov. Ideally I'd like to keep it, but if it's too much hassle/cost then I am considering just ditching it. As I understand it, the closer to the TB the better, yes? What about flanges, where can I get a weld on flange?

My fabricator put the bov near the ffp and it vents to atmosphere ( I have a G4 Link with a MAP sensor). I hate the sound. I plan to relocate it to the other side (hot side) of the intercooler so I can plumb it in. I will need a long vacuum line so may make up a hard line.

No nearer the T/B is not better. Garrett actually say as close as possible to the turbo. I am sure there will be a fluid dynamic engineer or suchlike who can correct me but my take is that bovs are not about flow but about pressure relief and so it doesn't matter where it is. Some manufacturers put them on the intercooler itself.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
