Hey,

We are in the process of gathering ideas on what is missing in the auto performance industry in relation to adapters/flanges!

If you have required an adapter that you couldn't find let us know.

This may relate to adapters for BOV's or anything else you may think off...

All feedback will be greatly appreciated... and if possible include images :thumbsup:

Thanks,

Brendan

Thanks!

We will have a look into fuel rail adapters - seems like a great product.

Fuel rail conversion kits to suit R33 side feed injectors converting to top feed items such as Seimens deka.

Thanks,

Do you have a link to an image/description of the actual product?

just had to make my own adaptor to go from 90mm to 120mm v-band to v-band, don't know if anyone currently makes these.. garrett told me it would be a custom item.....

Thanks,

Do you have any images of the actual item?

Nah and its on the car now...

we just took the 90mm v-band take off that comes with the turbo and a disc cut at 120mm diameter with 90mm hole in the middle, with the appropriate angle around the outside for the v-band and welded them together...

so we v-band the back of the turbo to the 90mm flange which steps up to 120mm and v-bands to the 120mm dump.. all within the space of about 30mm

hope this make sense, I'll see if I can get a picture of it on the car

cheers

Sorry mate, I couldnt link you to another product for obvious reasons.

What I am refering to is merely a fuel rail that will fit an R33 RB25DET motor using top feed injectors from a R32 GTR (for example).

What you would hope to acheive is a product that fits with minimal modification and comes with all parts necessary to install the set injector (bar the injectors themselves).

This would mean the rail would require the fittings for the fuel lines, and come with new o-rings where required along with mounting hardware.

The MAIN requirement is that the set will fit the motor with its factory intake inplace, there ARE products such as these on the market at present yet generally they do not fit with the factory intake in place.

We actually offer an RB25DET fuel rail with a top feed injectors set-up but again it's for the GReddy plenum only - we will look into it though.

Making up an adapter plate for rb26 intake plenum to be used on rb25, I think blitz make one but they are rare

Already made. Shane made them ages ago. We are about to run off some on the mill for our own race car...

off topic, how about a full bolt-in oil cooler kit with thermostat, all the correct brackets/bolts/hoses cut to length, hose mounting points, plastic conduit for the braided lines so it won't rub against things and a price that's reasonable.

We do stock an oil cooler w/ filter relocation kit, but yes it does not come with a thermostat and a lot of customers do seem to want one.

Indeed you do, make that fit the stock manifold and at that price they will sell like hotcakes.

Another item I would like to see available is an exhaust side spacer plate that is reversible to switch between RB25 and RB26 bolt patterns.

the concept is simple, an bolt through the plate replaces the original studs in the end exhaust ports that are different, and a stud presses in from the opposite side to accept the alternate bolt pattern.

By reversible I refer to both sets of bolt holts being able to accept a stud or bolt from both sides to make it easily reversed for the opposite application. Longer studs for the middle 4 cylinders will be needed to be supplied with the kit.

This could see people converting to RB26 setups from their failing 20 or 25s without having to replace expensive manifolds, or could see more twin turbo setups floating around too.

Yes that is true, but it's not a full bolt in solution, the end-user/buyer needs to fabricate their own brackets, cut and shut the oil lines to length, etc..

What about an adapter to bolt RB25 GRreddy plenums to RB20 heads?

Some great ideas... now we just need to find a good fabricator to get things rolling with a sample product.

Any recommendations would be great!

Can't help on the fabrication but if you need any 3D modelling done shoot me a PM :P

      The SS button head cap screw on the back? If so, good to know. I presumed it was there for basic assembly and nothing more.

      R32 GTR Lost All Interior Power to IGN Accessories

      By Kirby7887 · Posted

      Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
