Do you have the attachment that connects the box from the RHS into the guard?

If its the same as the 34 GTR, there will be a cover on the inner guard side of this attachment. You can take this cover off to increase air intake.

Power level is 422rwks, on 19psi.

Just changed to bigger twins and want to chase 450+ rwks

Why does that matter??? I just want to know how to modify the thing

So you're making 422RWkw with a completely stock airbox? - Good to know!

Yep removed that already, anything else I can do? :)

Hmm I might be able to cut out a much bigger hole and a custom larger pipe into the guard :)

I found that the stock airbox was becoming limiting around 500rwks so I need to custom make something however still need to retain the standard appearance :)

Whats your current power level and mod list?

It may matter to you that Piggaz car has made a genuine 470rwkw with a standard box and NO modifications. So he MAY have saved you some time and energy

Trent's dyno isn't accurate, because it isn't in NSW. :P

Daz at this power level you won't get much help from these guys, how many have cracked 500 let alone on the stock airbox, piping and cooler?

The engine side of the gearbox you can modify that to accept a filter then modify the snorkle to feed air over it. It ain't a 5 minute mod though. I don't know the part number for the filter. Haven't gotten that far.

Also tickle the alloy pipes that bolt to the comp housings. I've sent you those pics before I think.

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
