Story goes i was pulling all intake pipes off and surrounding things like manifold heat shield to tighten up my manifold bolts to try and help my leaking problem.

Anyways put it back together and went for a drive (still tick tick tick) planted it and was at 18psi :/ under investigation the hose that goes to the pressure side e.g intercooler has come off the manual boost controller :( I have looked for over 2 hrs pulled everything off again and still couldnt find it. I had 2 mates who also had a good look and also came up negative. I feel like i have searched for yoinks and still cant work it out. Here is some info that may help assess the problem

-FMIC, Some generic brand

-RB25det S1

-Turbotech boost controller

I have checked all intercooling pipes for a nipple, turbo and joiners, inlet manifold. i defiantly feel as if im missing something. The hose is about 60cm long so it can be anywhere 60cm away from the wastegate if that helps. Also if i shake the boost controller i can hear a ball rattling in there does that mean its broken ?

No it wasnt t-pieced. Now i have found a small hole on the turbo that im assumming once housed the nipple and it has fallen off. Any idea were to get the nipples from ?

I was thinking that perhaps there could've been a nipple on the turbo... :/

Just a dodgy thought but... I wonder if a valve stem off a bike tube would fit in there?

Crazy dodge but it might work. :)

Well that hole is actually nothing, Have taken off the whole manifold, turbo and surrounding piping (to change manifold gasket not to find the nipple :P) and still not found it lol

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I said Garrett style. Not Garrett genuine. And something in the G30 550 range is what you want. Not those pokey little old fashioned T28 sized things. The intake ports in the head are small. There is little benefit in fattening up the runners and leaving ths actual ports small. Just run what you've got. And on the subject of Nistune vs Haltech etc..... You know you can control the transmission with decent standalone ECUs these days, right? No need to keep any of that old Nissan bullshit. Don't get me wrong - I use Nistune on my Neo. But it is a DET, so the number of bodges and workarounds I had to do to make it work in a chassis without ABS, TCS, etc, is quite small compared to the herniated arsehole you will have trying to make it work on a motor that doesn't have some of the things that the turbo ECU wants to see. Just easier to bite the bullet and go aftermarket outright.

      Hmm. Only when the f**king thing is actually working. Still can't find the leak. And that's with dye being put in the last 3 times!

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By R34_GT to Turbo · Posted

      Ok so will run the piping over that radiator and no plenum it is. Put that money towards a Haltech and see what suits. Any ideas something like an elite 2000 or 2500 right? My long term goal is 300kw e85 and manual swap and that’s a dream come true. For now will be 200kw and auto the stock rb25det neo intake isn’t too expensive with throttle body. If I was to have the port matching done, Would that be better than the stock de intake as the det has bigger holes plus has the spots for sensors etc? And suit more long term?  appreciate the advice?

      You understand AFR is not the only thing that contributes to it pinging yeah? Funnily, what the AFR gauge will tell you when it likely is pinging, is going to make you think things are really safe and good.
