Hey. Just wondering, just bought a r33 and not sure what a few thing's under the bonnet are for? This pic and also, i have a T piece that has alot of little hose's attached too it, will get a pic of that later. Car is a 1996 series 2 gts25t.

Any help would be good.

thanks.

Charcoal canister - for emmissions.

on that same note... see how the hoses coming out of this 'charcoal canister' connect to the goldy coloured pipes under the cross over pipe...

why is thair only one connected in our Stagea and the other one blocked off?

is there some sort of performance upgrade related to this?

As far as I know is supposed to eliminate Evaprotive hydrocarbon emissions from the fuel tank by either recirculating them into the intake air (when engine running) or absobing them into the Carbon inside the canister (When engine not running).

Have been told that these charcoal canisters are worthless for this task less than two years after the car has rolled off the production line.... :)

That said, Mr highway patrol and his RTA/EPA mates will happily add you to their defect quota list if they notice that a car originally fitted with one no longer has it fitted. :P

sorry to hijack the thread, but does anyone know what the little box at the back corner of the engine bay on the drivers side does? it has a vacuum hose go in and wires come out. the vacuum hose is connected to the hose that goes to the factory gauge in the dash. (car is r33 gts-t)

its hard to search when you don't know what its called, and you can't seach with a picture.

pretty sure it's a MAP sensor

      Rb26 iron block limit

      Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?

      https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild.

      Yeah very valid point. I am waiting for one of the other tuners to come back from vacation so he can help me a bit when the cat is installed again. In the meantime I am going to finish up my polishing and ceramic coating that I have started myself.    N45 Dr Beasley product is highly recommended for a paint primer / polisher. Using this EXO Gtechniq also for the ceramic but next time might use the light serum before hand also. Looks great.

      Running rich in conditions where it shouldn't probably won't do great things for catalytic converter lifespan. I would fix that sooner than later.

      Yes, important point. Watch the Motive videos with Herman thickness testing the bores and deck. You do not want to push the unlucky (thin) block as hard as you can push the average block.
