Hi SAU,

I was looking on my S2 RB25DET stock plenum and i found a pipe that is protruding out of the plenum looks to be a vacuum inlet however i am not sure what it connects too and what this pipe is actually used for, Does anyone know ? i have attached pictures below. I tried searching however nothing came up.

Fuel pressure regulator. This is the best and most accurate point to get the signal from as its the closest available before combustion. I also tee of this for my boost gauge but not boost controller.

Thanks for the reply. Just to clarify my FPR is connected to the bottom pipe via the black hose should I leave that how it is (all stock RB25 have it like that) and connect boost gauge to the pipe that's exposed or T it off?

Why is there two pipes for the FRP ? Should the top one exposed be used by a boost gauge?

The boost guage uses one on the opposite side at the firewall, I have the fuel reg and the boost controller connected by a tee piece but that outlet in your pic is not on my series 2 plenum, looks like you have one extra outlet there.

Yeah I thought so normally people just T from the stock boost gauge connection, and I have only seen this extra outlet on one other RB25 :/ just need to know what it can be used for it what it should be connected too! Everyone seems to think either thing it's for boost gauge or FRP

so it was just sitting there with nothing attached? Would have idled heaps bad. Our have you messed around and forgot how it goes back together?

No mate the engine hasn't been running I just pulled it out of a car doing an engine swap and i would like to know what that pipes for so I can hook it up when I do the conversion in a few weeks.

It was just sitting there I presume the previous owner removed something before he sold me the car, it was a write off got hit from the back I kept the engine and parted out the car. Hope that helps clarify everything.

cant be a series 2 plenum then cause its different to mine, I wonder if a series one plenum looks like that at all,

must be for something that needs vacuum, not sure if R33's have ABS, just a random thought if that's related or not.

neos have a couple of lines like that and what looks like a couple of regulators (only one is a regulator though) http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/426682-confusing-r34gtt-fuel-rail-pics/

maybe that could help?

heres a photo of that port on my neo plenumattachicon.gif20130819_155601.jpg

Thanks for the help, where does that connect to? looks like some sort of regulator? where does the bottom regulator pipe connect to?

I have attached another view if anyone's interested.

It's definetly a S2 engine out of a 1998 GTS-T most don't have that on the plenum iv only seem a few RBs have it!

Thanks mate ill look into the fuel damper. Where does the bottom of the fuel damper connect to mate?

Not sure if they just a straight swap but maybe previous owner put a series 1 plenum on a series 2 motor or maybe its just a whole series one motor together that previous owner may have changed at some time??

If you are talking about the fuel pressure regulator then the vacuum line on it connects to the side of the intake plenum.

It's definetly a S2 motor as I have previously stated. No ignitor for coilpack on the back of engine, S2 coilpacks with built in ignitor, S2 engine Loom, S2 ECU, Pink Label AFM (3pin),TPS.

I know what series the engine is I just want to know what the extra pipe is for I think your getting off track the plenum itself isn't the issue here it's the extra perturbing pipe just want to know what to do with it block it off or use it for boost gauge or connect it to a fuel damper etc....

    • Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...
    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 馃槷 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
