I wouldn't leave the plenum section on and try and install the Nipples, You wouldn't risk drilling the holes when its on! Imagine the shavings in there :D

You are gonna have to remove the plenum section 1000% if you go ahead with it...

I have had two D-Jetro computers installed and thats the way they have been done :bunny:

like tony said you should 100% NOT drill the 3rd and 4th runner while still fitted to the car. There is no way you can drill and tap those two holes without getting swarf in the engine.

I have previously been a big fan of doing it properly and installing the 2 nipples in runners 3 and 4 post throttle body as apexi reccomend. some people do the dodge and use one of the post throttle body vacuum lines coming off the little vacuum box and just tee it into 2 feeds for the 2 map sensors. I had previously seen people have problems with that, but lately 1 or 2 have seemed to still work quite well doing it that way.

personally I'd rather do it properly, the downside of course is it's a pretty hefty labour bill to remove and replace throttle bodys etc just to drill and tap 2 holes for the nipples. talk to the bloke tuning it and see what he wants.

check the documentation or ask their local support

there are known compatibility issues with individual throttle bodies and map sensor based ECU's

i believe thats why apexi make you install it in the exact spot on the plenum and not just anyold where

thanks for the replys guys

what if i got a haltech e11v2, where would i tap into? im pretty sure they only have one map sensor? (correct me if im wrong?

thanks

the haltech will work fine off the vacuum balance rail (factory boost gauge port @ the back)

    • You have (externally anyway) a lot of patience!  At the very least your patience has rewarded you financially even if you decided you were over it!! I only just read your first experience of seeing the car, that would have been amazing!  Well documented too! It must be exciting knowing there's only 10 months left until you can get it on a boat and on it's way!!!???
    • Yeah, that's when. I guess you could say I'm as patient as I am foolish(or just a masochist?🤔). I've strongly considered throwing in the towel and calling it all quits many times, and have almost done so. It's a first-world problem for sure, but I've had a pretty rough go of it, as well as other factors; hoping something good comes of all this; it has to. It definitely is half the price of the ATS and performs great, but I'd like to try something different for once. I've sampled the ATS in a friend's 32 and it's solid👍
    • I know mentally you're set on the ATS clutch but honestly I'm a big fan of the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin. It's much cheaper and in some ways I think it's a better design for a street/circuit car.
    • Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.
    • Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.
