Hey guys

Got a rb25 with a copy greddy manifold

Just seeing where people run there water lines to that use to go to the back of the stock manifold ?

Can I make up a pipe to go in top rad hose and then weld a fitting on that for the water ? Pics would be great to cheers

Pics don't work but should help.

What's your setup?

I ask because I haven't seen a mild setup benefit from this plenum. In that thread one guy made 4 kw more at the expense of losing midrange.

Personally I would look at the heap of cars making 300 plus rwkw with stock inlet and save the hassle of fitting the plenum.

Is that coolant return? Is it supposed to go in before thermostat or after? I cant remember

This is mine, but its a bit extravagant for your every day setup. The HKS kit I had before had a braided line that ran around the back with all the fittings to join to the rubber hose under the manifold:

It all depends what you are keeping and getting rif of as to how you do it ive kept the standard air bleed on my set up as ive tried to go the stock look, I ran a T piece at the rear and brought my turbo water feed around and over the top of the engine as it gave me better angles ect with the braided lines ive used but if your getting rid of the bleed from the stock manifold you only need to come out of the block and run it over to the turbo this makes life easier but be carefull to get all the air from the block.

Not sure how to post pics but if you need help pm me ya number and ill text pics or email directif you want more detail ect, Personaly having installed one of these manifolds (i got it new for $149) i dont think there worth the effort they are by no means bolt on if you want a nice neat job ive wasted hours redoing wiring and stuff that you just dont think of untill you start unbolting crap.

Cheers,

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
