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.

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....

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By Wazmond · Posted

      Apologies, while id like to put the MAF as close to the TB and relocate the recirc, this may be too much work. Will most likely end up just putting it on the original AFM spot ( onto/next to the airbox ).  Was going through nistune, found a pretty nifty doc on this. Nistune MAF Notes. Also, i was looking through the bay, and there seems to be a tube/line connected from the A/C to the intercooler piping ( Between the smic and the recirc), what does this do as the crossover fmic piping doesnt have any connection? plumbing? not sure what you call it but the nipple thing ahah.  Also, been reading up more about crossover fmic in regards to the legality of having the hole drilled for the piping, this would most likely need to be engineered right?

      My advice is if you need a big build done do it in Japan. The yen rate is so favorable and there are shops that can be genuinely trusted and not micromanaged/carefully monitored every step of the way. Garage Yoshida is obviously my preferred option but they're so busy these days and all interaction with new customers has to be mediated through BBL/Toprank now.

      I haven't....but a poorly made one would terrify me. Surely a good second hand one is the go, as they don't work hard and no-one wants to keep one after they are finished with it A big consideration would be the weight of the shell you are putting on it....is it a fully dressed chassis or just the body

      Not stock. All remade. Mostly looks stock because the pipes run to and from the standard holes in the inner guard to get to the return flow FMIC. I'm not sure which question you're trying to ask, because it seems like "stock position" vs "stock position".

      Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.
