Hey guys, im guessing this has been roughly covered before but did some searching and couldn't get a definitive answer.

Im after some info on piping size I should run.

im putting a 3076 or 3071 on 6boost mani with a r34 gtr front mount so its got 3" inlet and outlet.

im also getting a plazmaman with new tb of whatever size I need.

im looking to get 300kw or just over atw with minimal lag so I don't want to go 3" piping if itll just add lag.

what I was thinking is 2.5" from turbo to ic with a reducer and then 3" from ic to the tb and obviously get a 76mm tb

will this be the best way or should I just keep it 2.5" all the way and use reducers either side of the gtr ic.

Stock throttle body has the traction control butterfly on it which is gaids for a FFP installation. Either obtain a new TB or a TB from a Stagea Neo. Note that factory ECU+Nistune is barest minimum to permit that sort of change. Standard ECU will of course have kittens if left to itself.

johnnilicte - how much more lag am I looking at, surely not much being still on the standard runners..

GTSBoy - Im ditching the traction control, and as stated purchasing a plazmaman throttle body.. and I already have a power fc

scotty nm35 - pretty sneaky there, never even thought of running it that way, probly not the best for flow though..

any way of making the hole through the side look standard like a gtr, im going with all black plenum and piping for that reason

It flows better than a return flow, and less piping.

I never understood why the pipe goes underneath the cooler in the return flow setups, and the core is always hiding up behind the intrusion bar. Not good for cooling imo.

around 200~300rpm, have a look at the dyno charts on the RB25 turbo results

I had my return flow custom made (in 2000!!!) and we put the return pipe behind the reo. Core is using the whole opening of the GTR bar. Very successful.

btw johnnilicte im thinking of getting a custom plenum still on the standard runners, possibly a slightly smaller one would let it spool up earlier than the 5.5L capacity advertised by plazmaman??

if I get a custom one it will most likely be from racers choice, a local fabricator..

I want to go forward facing to tidy it up a bit and make plug changes easier

Just get the Plazmaman one, it's nicer.. most other fabricators use sharp edges etc... where as the Plazmaman one is nice and smooth promoting better airflow...

I still say stick to the stock one, unless you're chasing 350kW+ :)

Look at AngryRB, he's made over 320kW+ on the stock one.

Yuh, the whole "nice and tidy and easier plug changes" thing is a bit of a tired line. You only need to change plugs infrequently, and it is no more than 15 minutes work to get the crossover pipe off if you have to.

There are distinct negatives associated with FFPs (usually they cost response and the cops love them), with barely enough positives to justify....for a street car. On a race car, go right ahead and spend your money.

I already spoke to the guy, hes a friend of a friend, said he would do a good price (less than plazmaman) and has the machine to roll the alloy so it will be rounded like the plazmaman.

I know the plugs aren't that much of an effort, but it just looks heaps better than the pipe coming out and then swinging back over the top of the motor.. im hoping to have everything black so as to not draw too much attention when the bonnets open

    • 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.
