Hey guys,

To cut a long story short I'm building my motor in my 33 (rb25det) with forged internals, bit of head porting etc and amongst all the mods I have a genuine Greddy plenum on its way with a trust throttle body. Ok since I have not recieved it yet I am guessing the size of the throttle body is 90mm. Anyway my dilemma is I dont know how to go about the intercooler piping. As my intent was to upgrade my intercooler from my ebay front mount kit I wanted your opinions on which direction to follow. Remembering, bottom line is that my cooler I have now only has 2.5inch entry on either side. Obviosuly, for a minimal fix, the only cooler pipe that has to be tampered with is the one that joins the plenum , but I am seeking the best result so would like your opinions.

Should I:

- Use the Trust throttle body and use a silicon reducer down to my 2.5inch pipe size and keep the cooler setup the way it is?

- Get a throttle body adapter and use my standard t/b, sell the trust one and keep the cooler setup the way it is?

-Try and find a cooler kit with larger piping to suit the larger throttle body and forward facing plenum?

My biggest concern is not getting efficeincy out of my bigger t/b if my piping and cooler intake on that side is only 2.5 inch. Sorry about the big writeup, just wanting a bit of advice on which way to go.

Im also installing an afc neo, just to keep things running smoothly, does anyone think I will NEED a standalone ecu, or this should to the trick.

Appreciate your time!

Just get a 3 inch neck welded to your existing intercooler.

I was considering that, but the cooler is terrible quality core....typical ebay crap. So if hks or Greddy already made a coolerkit with 3 inch on that side to suit. I was gonna look into that?

Trust do a GTR kit that suits the Greddy FF plenum on RB25\26, piping suits Q45 TB "FROM" the intercooler :D

Is that both sides of the core or just the plenum side? I wasnt planning on touching the other side, but that I suppose defeats the purpose of having it bigger one one side as well. haha what am I to do people?!

    • Ok guess I can rule out the battery, probably even the starter and alternator (maybe) as well. I'm gonna clean those leads and see what happens if it's still shit I might take it to an auto electrician. Unless the immobiliser is that f**king heavy, but it shouldn't be.  If I start the car every day, starts up perfectly never an issue.
    • Anything above ~9.5V is acceptable. The higher the better, but it will almost always drop to at least 10.5V, if not lower, even with a new big battery and everything else being good. 9.76 is not a concern. If it goes below 9, you'd be sure that there's a problem with either the battery or the connections.
    • It's new almost. Under a year old i think and I've tested it twice at supercheap
    • Glue the head from a Pez dispenser on it. Goofy, or Winnie the Pooh, so something.
    • Adjusting the idle screw is usually (emphasis on usually) just covering up deeper issues. Stuff like the cold start valve not closing properly. Throttle shaft seals on the way out. Coolant temp sensors getting out of spec. Coolant temp sensors especially can be a bear to diagnose because they can fail subtly. My dad just spent weeks chasing down his high idle. He cleaned the coolant temp sensor and everything but the resistance curve just drifts over time and if it's been 20+ years they also get super slow to respond as well. Has a massive effect on fuel economy as if it's off the ECU is going to run richer and command high idle for far longer than it should otherwise.
