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?!

    • They usually get made by hand as part of any such swap.
    • Was planning on getting an R35 MAF and the adapter, should this be okay? Also any idea where I could get my hands on an intake pipe?
    • I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".
    • No idea about Neil's steering wheel, but I have the same behaviour in the Stagea. I doubt it has ever been messed with so might be normal. Indicating to turn right at a roundabout and correcting even a little bit to the left to go around will cancel the indicator. Never considered it an issue other than it being a bit odd.
    • Does anyone know if this is off centered? Looks like it, when I indicate to go right, but turn my steering wheel slightly left it cancels (was always like that even before I started messing around with it) was wondering if anyone else has the same issue?
