hey.

i have had my plenum on my RB20DET modified to relocate the throttle body from the side to the front.

at the front of the plenem there used to be the coolant lines goin to it and a few others.

now where should i hook up these coolant lines? should i block em off or put a T-piece and join the three together?

them vacum for the pressure reg i presume just get from anywhere on plenum.

the oil breather one is taken care of via catch can.

ive included a few pics of my setup and a standard so you know what im on about.

any help would be great.

cheers

That 10mm bolt that isnt there anymore is used to bleed the air out of the cooling system, maybe making up a....... um how do i explain it..... water tank that the lines will run into with a cap or bleeder on top so you can still bleed the system might be the best bet.

im gussing the RB20 has the water feed through the throttle body like the R33 .. what did they do with that?

i have the plazmaman planum and there is no bleed for the radiator... just have to be patient on bleeding the radiator manualy via the turbo water feed, or the rad cap.

i got plazmaman plenum too. awesome gear!

don't forget if you block that water line off where it goes too after the throttlebody!!! it feeds your turbo!

id personally block the throttlebody off and run a fresh line to the turbo. Im getting a header tank and doing away with the bleed on mine.

You sure about this one ?? I have the line blocked off for my throttle body and the turbo still gets water. Doesnt the turbo line feed from the back of the plenum ?? and then back into the side of the block ?

    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
    • Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
