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.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
