Ok, that's sort of what i was thinking but wanted confirmation. So my only real choice is to fork out heaps of $$ for a FFp and new throttle body and the dramas that come with fitting one i am guessin

I wouldn't use the Gibson solution (or any variation on it) without putting some turning vanes into the elbow. That bend is just so tight that the flow will crowd the outside of the turn and badly bias the flow entering the plenum. Turning vanes would prevent that, and are not an enormous hassle to get right.

Worked ok for them.^^ :)

There is a fair bit of pipe before the plenum opens up, through the throttle. I doubt it would make much difference to distribution. The VQ25det plenum has a 180 bend right before the runners and works fine. That said, I agree you want to soften any tight bend you can to improve flow.

Well if I go exhaust manifold I will definately see a big improvement for money spent

To be honest, you really wont.

Be nice if I didnt have to, looking at getting a hypergear ATR43 SS2 BUT Stao said 280kw is the max from standard ex manifold and internal gate.

Well people have made 300rwkw-320rwkw using Garrett-IW turbos (IW = internal wastegate)

Not the most ideal setup, but certainly the most cost efficient if you are dead set on a number... So i must say...

Lose the 300rwkw "I must have it" in your brain, settle for 270-280rwkw and just get a bolt-on hi-flow, stay totally safe from Police and look factory. Win-Win IMO :thumbsup:

Otherwise you'll be spending upwards of $2000 more and I tell you now, for the extra 20rwkw - you won't really notice it/justify the cost.

The way i see it - either go for 350rwkw and justify the $2000+ spent or settle for 280rwkw.

Plus there is everything from brakes, clutch, diff, exhaust etc etc that needs attention and I can say with certainty, you've not really touched those areas :)

probably a good call Nismoid, 300 was just the number i was aiming for but not hell bent on it so i can always get the turbo and put it on and get the rest later on. No clutch, its an auto which is even more $$ when looking at that power.

Can anyone confirm hi mount manifolds and FFP=illegal in QLD?

Can anyone confirm hi mount manifolds and FFP=illegal in QLD?

It's not what's "legal" and what's "illegal". It is actually possible to get anything engineered. In Victoria, if you were to put such stuff on your car a cop would have an orgasm the minute he opened your bonnet. If you had papers saying it was engineered, he'd have to wipe himself off and go bother someone else. But getting an engineer in Victoria to approve such mods might be getting harder these days.

QLD is less of a problem. The cops will still want to defect you for big highmounts and FFPs and so one because they are clearly a MASSIVE modification of the vehicle's stock emissions control systems. You might get more leniency from a QLD cop, and you might get an easier time getting a mod plate for it. But it is still absolutely true that without any engineering at all, it is not road legal to put such stuff on your car.

I put an RB25 into my R32 recently. Despite it being possible to ride around in SA in a car that has failed roadworthy in every state in Australia (other than SA) because we have no annual checks, I had to present my car and the engine in a 100% roadworthy condition. One of these conditions was that the factory turbo, inlet systems, ECU, valve timing systems, etc were all present and working. My certificate of exemption (from the original granting of road legal status represented by my import compliance plate) states that these conditions must remain true. If I am to have any mods at all (to the turbo, boost control, etc etc) then they all have to be engineered and run back over the pits at Regency. QLD is different in the details, but the intent of their rules is the same. Standard = good, modified = baaaaad!

But really how many guys out there with high mounts or FFP's would have them engineered? Something else to think about tho before commiting myself

Not a whole heap but what's the point in the end? Particularly in terms of FFP they have been shown to be a mostly pointless exercise.

Exhaust manifold go the low mount for less hassles but even better do as others have said and get a hi flow.

In my car I have a FMIC, larger turbo, boost controller amongst other potentially defectable things but everytime a cop pops my bonnet they lose interest straight away cause it looks mostly standard

Just wondering if anyone has tried getting a ftp for the rb20det and remove the bottom part of it and making a plate up (lazer cut) to fit the rb25det NEO as that's what I'm looking into! Does anyone has the measurement of the ffp rb20det the aftermarket one?

      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.

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.

      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.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
