Hi,

after some help/advice.

Note, i searched and filtered through a heap of pages. (couldnt find anything)

I am very close to installing a hypertune intake manifold on my rb25

i havent done one before. I have GIZZMO racing thermal gasket.(manifold - head)

the manifold uses stock runners.

it has 4 fittings for vacume hoses and has the idle control flange underneath it.

now i know i'll need to fab something up to hold the throttle cable

just wanting to know what i will need and anything to look out for.

so for the guru's out there who have done it, advice would be very muchy appreciated!

kindest regards

Jack

yeah search function is Goooone! lol anyhow i am doing a greddy one soon and will need to know this info as well so far i have collected the bolts i need just need to re-tap the vac nipples into it!

if the t/b plate is the generic greddy Q45 size, if u buy the greddy throttle body adapter kit, it comes with a throttle cable adapter VERY VERY HANDY. as for other things u will need:

weld on a 1''x1'' spout for the aac valve, weld on bov, figure out the nipple for the boost controller (place just after turbo outlet), thats basically all the crucial stuff + all the usual bolts and washers

hopefully you dont make my mistake and drop a few washers :blink:. took aaaages to finish

hey regarding the plenum i have got all the bolts etc for it, just wondering, i was down at autobarn and non of the brass nipple threads would fit my intake manifold. any specs on them?

um, well my manifold would be diffewrent to urs, but i also tried a few car stores, revolution racegear etc, tried for ages had nothing

I went to enzed and they had heaps, got 5 fittings for 13 bux.

ENZED FTW

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
