like the title says, I am asking for clarification as what stock throttle body should be used when putting front facing intake on r34 gtt rb25det neo engine?

(shortest type possible, but stock size, proper electrical and cable connections and wont alter run-ability, as the stock r34 gtt is simply too long, as it has dual "baffles" traction control,  type throttle body.)

I know I 've seen this info below but couldn't locate it.

r33 rb25det non neo?  gtst? series 1, 2?

You are not going to do a direct drop-in. A complete front facing intake like the RB26 on an RB25 is a major change and transient fueling mapping which is already a bit of a guess will be completely off.

DBW e-throttle conversion.

Will drive better, idle better, have superior throttle articulation (change the slope however you want), proper cruise control, boost control (by limiting throttle max open rate based on boost / engine speed thresholds) etc. 

Everything the stock throttle can't do.

Only downside, you can't open your bonnet and record a selfie video with the throttle at WOT yelling "RB Powahhhhh woooooooooo"

I found two used throttle bodies both claiming to be from a R33 RB25DET, I bought both, when one showed up it has a large center rod with a flat side for the center drive of the TPS.

The other has a much smaller center rod with a smaller cross rod through it making a "X".....this style matches what my rb25det neo engine has, so I will be able to use this throttle body and my org wiring and reuse the sensor itself.

I don't know why the other has the other version (both said TB from S2) but no matter I was glad I ordered both, as I found one that will work nicely.

Did you happen to read anything above anyone has said?

Especially things like "it's going to need a complete retune"?

IE, none of this will be safe to run once you plug it all in.

And then secondly, the fact that pretty much none of your wiring will reach, and likely the throttle cable won't reach etc.

I did read it all, but been restoring and fabricating classic custom award winning vehicles for 30 years, so I don't think some wiring and a cable will be a problem.  doubt a retune will be needed, not with these changes, and not necessary as essentially everything will be "stock".  just changing the location of the throttle body, wont make much of a difference, engine and ecu wont know the difference, still will get air, spark, compression, fuel, and sensor readings. All will still functions the same as same size and type of components used. additionally I am in the US, so in a few years if someone around here gets experience with tuning these cars properly and or I can obtain the proper software, program, etc. and experience, then maybe someday a tune will be done, simply to optimize potential performance.

Wrong. FFPs flow very differently to the stock plenum and it's a very long way from ideal to not address the per-cylinder mixture changes that result.

Don't ask questions, if you don't want to listen to the answers. It's not a good trait. As for tuning RB's and proper software and experience, it's been a thing in the US for decades.

If you can tune a JZ, you can tune a RB.

Same same but different. Pork Gyoza vs Beef Gyoza, both Japanese.

We've had RB's in the US and Canada literally for decades. They were always a popular S chassis swap. We could also legally import R32's into Canada back in 1999.

Feel free to not take the advice and knowledge of those who've been playing with these cars and engines specifically for about 20 years EACH. But we've all been there, done that.

What you've just dribbled is total nonsense about not needing a retune, or no one in the USA being able to tune an RB.

 

It seems you're just here for someone to tell you your bad ideas are good. For that, you're on the wrong platform. ;)

    • Hi Apex and welcome! 
    • Probably too late to reply to this, but worth a try. It's not calliper flex, the calliper as a whole is moving so it has to be calliper mounting bracket flex.  Calliper mounting brackets are designed to stop the calliper rotating, they don't need to be designed heavy duty to stop the calliper moving in and out.  Whatever it is is not the major cause of poor pedal feel, the outer pistons are moving towards the disc rotor the same amount as the inner pistons are moving away from the disc rotor.  Hence no change in fluid usage, what extra fluid is needed to move the outer pistons is recovered from the inner pistons. For a calliper to move as a whole by far the most common reason is the rotor is not perfectly centred in the calliper.  The first thing I check is that hub face is perfectly clean, bare metal, where the rotor hats contacts it.  Then I check the that rotor is firmly held in place by at least 3 wheel nuts (or equivalent). If all of the above are confirmed to be in perfect alignment then I would check the piston sizes and ensure that the 3 inner pistons and 3 outer pistons have matching diameters (eg; 28/32/36mm).  I have seen a no name 4 spot calliper that had 1 of the 4 pistons a different diameter. Maybe I missed it, are both the callipers exhibiting the same problem? I would remove the transfer pipe and inspect it to make sure that there are no restrictions. Maybe you already have but if not I would return them with the video and have them confirm all of the above.   Hope that helps Cheers Gary    
    • If you have the original log book and it didn't have a chassis number quoted, then no money required.  I have "rechassied" a number of race cars, no problem as long as you have the original log book.   Cheers Gary
    • Well the good news is that it won't run any worse with an atmo bov than it does with no bov, I've owned a few Nissans over the years (r32, s15 and now r33), the stalling issue caused by a bov or no bov while still having an afm is easy enough to live with, most people get used to driving them and just feathering the throttle when you come to a stop to avoid it stalling. Changing to a proper ecu with a map sensor is ideal but in the short term I'd just slap in the bov if you really want the whoosh sound. I looked into the pass through type maf like the R35 one above but decided against it as the amount of oil and crap flowing through the hot side would mean you'd have to clean it often to keep it working.
