Are you able to provide photos of the kit in this thread 1400r?

From what I've read, the kits are worth a mint, so I'm going to look into fabricating my own.

PM me if you like 1400r. :)

so you can copy it ?

don't think so mate how's that gonna help me sell mine

Or just get yourself a Plazmaman plenum kit, $900 odd. Look a bit better than the Greddy ones and also took me and a mate a couple hours to put on and it was all done, you can retain std TB without an adaptor plate like the Greddy plenum and you can also use the std throttle cable.... except for the intercooler piping does need to bee addressed obviously

That defeats the purpose of looking into an ITB setup.

What do you guys want to know? I've been running the 26 intake and ITB's for a few years on my 25.

I would just like to know what some of the major problems were that you came accross whilst fitting everything up and how u went about overcomming the problem?

Things like what needed to be modified and in what way, such as the VCT which u just removed, or what u needed to relocate?

cheers

I just used a bolt to plug the VCT hole. Needed some gasket material for custom gaskets. I also did a fair bit of port matching. My RB25 is in a R32, so I have VERY little room between the shock tower/brake master cylinder and the surge tank. If the tank ever needs to come off, the BMC is going to have to come out, and maybe the engine. Also, I think I had to use the RB26 oil cooler/filter mount.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Duh... to answer my own silly question, it's actually described in the FSM... ...400 pages away at the end of the manual, for RB25DE/DET signal descriptions, it cites the TPSwitch signal action, is dependent on the TPSensor value ~ this tends to infer the builtin POT voltage signal is the primary, and the switches are fallback/secondary should the POT fail/TPSensor signal lost (and switch alone with no TPSensor signal allows for base idle speed setting).... makes sense... they (TPS units) used to fail/wear the POT with time, they're not exactly built to last ~ having the switch as a redundancy gets around this...(or, it's less likely both signals would be lost as they're on different power rails)... and of course wrt RB26DETT, you have to electrically disconnect the IACV solenoid from the harness, to defeat idle air control...

      Dose is unaware just how much fun 145-150kw would be in a 2.5L NC MX5. It would be one of the most fun things to drive to ever grace SAU.

      Same thought crossed my mind ~ depends on how one connotes 'stalling'...ie; gets a rough/stumbling idle as it get warm until it stalls... or... idles ok and simply falls-over when it gets to temp... ...you can test the whole circuit with a couple of resistors ...unplug coolant temp sensor, bridge terminals with a 2K7 resistor (ECU will do cold start), or with engine warm bridge with a 330R resistor (ECU will consider engine to be at normal operating temp)...it's a quick way to check wiring integrity/ECU response when you don't have a multimeter handy ...

      They also make them with the motor mounted on the side

      Just be warned that that turbo will not be a direct re-fit to the car. The exhaust housing is, of course, in the same place. It has to be - it's bolted to the exhaust manifold. So the dump will fit up. But the centre housing is not as long, so the comp housing will move backwards. This will affect both the turbo inlet and the outlet. There is fab work that needs to be done. Yes. it has one, it should have one. Paper gasket.
