R33 S2 RB25DET FFP Install - HELP

Hi all,

First poster here :)

I've got a few questions about installing a FFP. I've got a stock R33 S2 with the usual (FMIC, BOV, POD, Coilovers) around 176,000kms on the engine. The engine itself is very healthy, running stock boost but pulls like a dream, always serviced every 5,000kms with Penrite 10W40 Racing 10, spark plugs etc by myself of course.

 

Now, I bought a FFP the other week, pretty sure its a Greddy remake, got it for a cheap price with all the fittings, screws and throttle body. Also bought the stock Inlet Manifold Gasket from Autopro just incase the one on is no good.

Basically I want to tidy up the engine bay a little as I hate the look of the stock plenums and the J-pipe crossing over the engine is a pain to take off every time to do spark plugs. I'm very mechanically minded, been around RBs for years, done a few things to them and done a few engine rebuilds etc.

So my questions are; anyone here done a FFP install themselves? How long did it take and what difficulties did you run into? Anything major to drill/reshape etc or just bolt on stuff? Where does the BOV get relocated to as the crossover J-pipe gets removed? Where do all the vacuum lines go?

If anyone can get back to me ASAP with answers or even videos that would be more than appreciated as I don't want to start something and end up not being able to drive my baby, looking at doing all this over the weekend, cheers guys! :cool:

NOTE: PICTURES WILL BE UPLOADED (ENGINE BAY, FFP, THROTTLE BODY)

There's a big how to thread in here somewhere. If you can't find it through the search function just Google. Get an adapter so you can use your stock throttle body. As you have bought it already I guess its a bit late to suggest putting the money towards a bigger turbo instead...

I've tried searching but nothing came up, also found one a few days ago through a Google search but it was pretty messy, how the guy did it etc..any pros to using the stock throttle body?

What turbo do you suggest? I want something capable of 350 - 400hp for street use with no huge lag!

The pipe from the intercooler to the throttle body will need to be remade. The bov gets installed before the throttle body on the new piece of intercooler piping and new pipe work will need to be made from the bov to the intake pipe, or don't bother reinstalling it and enjoy the flutters. The lines that are on the J pipe get installed on the new intercooler pipe and the lines that are on the stock plenum get installed on the freddy plenum, the factory lines probably aren't long enough so you will need new longer pieces of hose.

Get a GTX3071 with the divided rear housing, then get 2x external gates on and sit the lot on a 6Boost twin scroll manifold.

Screamers out of the bonnet or side quarter for extra street cred :)

the standard intake manifold will make the power goal you need,  so will the standard exhaust manifold.

 

Just get a bolt on turbo like what I have for sale atm,  install injectors and fuel pump and fmic.

FFP is not going gain you any power.

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
