Twin Throttle bodies on RB20

Skyline People,

I have managed to get my hands on 2 complete RB20 ECCS manifolds and am trying to work out the best way to go in building an intake with twin throttle bodies. I need to move the throttle body to the front of the plenum to reduce heatsoak on my intercooler plumbing so.....

Which would be the better option in your opinion:

- Running two throttle bodies side by side on the front of the plenum may have to customise it a bit

- Running basically two intakes, one throttle body has runners that feed cyls 1,3,5 and the other feeds 2,4,6

- Running basically two intakes, one throttle body has runners that feed cyls 1,2,3 and the other feeds 4,5,6

Just trying to work out what would be more efficient. Would there be any dramas with additional injectors? Would I get equal air flow if I just put a fork in the intercooler plumbing before the throttle bodies?

Thanks

Gradenko,

Yeah that's what I want to do. Pretty much the same as the pictures you posted but facing toward the front so I can shorten the intercooler plumbing. Will probably have to mount the throttle bodies one on top of the other so that I can fit them.

Who owns the car in the background? Any other details on it? Who did the work on the manifold?

Thanks

I don't know whose workshop it is or who owns the R30 in the background.

Are you sure mounting the tb's on front will clear accesories around it? Is there enuf space on the forward face to fit 2 tb's one above the other?

I'm hesitant to modify the factory plenum to feed from the front because its been designed to disperse air coming from the passenger side. We don't really know how much air is going to each cyliner after the factory plenum has been hacked, cylinder 5 & 6 may end up running lean in low pressure conditions. Maybe a flow test is before and after is needed just to be sure.

That's why I was thinking about running two intakes. 1 throttle body will feed cylinders 1,3,5 and the other will feed 2,4,6. If I just cut the crap out of both manifolds and have it set up like a 2JZ supra engine I think it will work OK.

I'm pretty sure I have enough room. The other option is to get somewhere like Nizpro to custom make a plenum for me.

Does the 2JZ intake look anything like the 1JZs? Feeding alternating cylinders sounds like a lot of work.

Nizpro will rip you a new one if you ask them for a plenum chamber. Have you read this thread? http://forums.skylinesaustralia.com/showth...s=&threadid=553 Theres a link in it to a guy who makes RB plenum chambers for a decent price.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
