Um, i can tell you a K & N replacement airfilter is the same size, as for the box i dont know, in the 33 its very easy to open the airbox, in my R32 GTS25, getting to the airbox open is annoying. I have broken all but 1 clip on mine now. Hope this helps......a touch.

ok, thanks for that.

So the size is the same, and all I need to know now is if the snorkel is the same, or in the same position.

I'm guessing they would not have bothered designing a seperate airbox for the N/A version, as it is not cost effective.

Need to revisit this thread

Has anyone here with a NA R34 swapped their airbox for a DET airbox?

I'd just like to know if it's possible as the DE airbox and snorkel setup is terrible.

some pics would be good to if anyone has them.

thanks

Reggie

for the 33's they maybe the same but for the 34's they are not.

if you want a pic of the airbox currently on my NA NEO I'll post one up

Here are the pics. As you can see, you now know why I asked if anyone has changed their NA airbox to a DET airbox

You know, I don't really get it.

Why are you wanting to swap in another airbox?

I would presume for flow, in which case I suspect you would be better with a pod filter. You can even hide it in your air box. If you did that, I'd make sure you have a (good) cold air intake.

If I was going to put a pod in mine (rb20det), thats what I'd do.

ok

thanks Dan.

I did realise long ago that the AFM attaches differently between the DE & DET airboxes. I was just wanting to know if the DET airbox will bolt straight in and if the AFM will attach up to the DET's lower mounting point without any mods.

Just a question, regarding the top, i understand that it is easy to fit a Turbo 34 Airbox in an N/A but what about vice versa, problem is its been very difficult for me to source one and the only ones that appear to be available are the N/A ones,

My one was thrown out by my Father in Law (I'm pretty sure he threw it out!!), so now i need one to clear my defect.

Has anyone done this before???

ok

thanks Dan.

what about an enclosed box for your pod? isnt that legal? (because its within a shroud) obviously different states are going to be different.

the issue youl have is that the intercooler piping will most likely interfere with the mounts/box construction if you use an NA box. thats the main diff between NA and turbo boxes, in R33s atleast. id imagine R34s would be the same deal

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
