Hi there ppl i have brought a ku engineering inlet manifold for my skyline it has the rb20det in which is currently running 402bhp and 375lftb, i brought the manifold to reduce lag and increase performance.

I will be fitting it this weekend and i have come into a tough spot already.

I have checked where all the vacum pipes go looks easy enough and where all the water pipes link up shouldnt be to bad, but what do i do with the aac valve (controls somesort of airflow i thnk) on the back end of the manifold as there is no place for the unit on the ku engineering one ???

Please help if anyone has fitted one or has a how to fit the manifold guide it will be greatly appreciated

Thankyou :D

make sure you check the mounting flange with a straight edge as they crack when bolted up.... i have one here in the shop now if you need any pics...

That would be great help im really confused as how to plumb the aac valve in after or even if it has to be, i read that it affects tick over too

Pics would be really helpful of the build i have found a write up of the rb25det one but obviously they are quite different to rb20det

make a plate to bolt to the side of the AAC unit that usually bolts to the manifold

then connect the line that goes 'in' the AAC unit as usual, connect one end of a hose to the new plate and connect the other end of the hose to a nipple on the manifold.

thats how i did mine (im not using the same manifold, just had a similar problem)

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?

      Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!

      That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
