Hi all

So I was cleaning my airflow meters (r34gtr) and on the airbox I noticed what looks to be an acoustic silencer piece which connects to the main box.

Pics attached.

It is easily removed but was curious. Other than deadening the Bov noise coming through the air filter, would this act as a restriction to airflow? Does anyone know it's original purpose on the RB26?

I've removed the piece and went for a drive. No real noticeable difference except for noise. But it is 30 degrees so wasn't going to go nuts

I doubt it would restrict anything. It's just to get the cooler air from the guard. How much power are you making?

That's the funny thing though... While it does go to the outer gaurd, it's actually blanked off. There is no airflow to the gaurd, unless you cut out the plastic end cap (see pic 2)

The car is stock except for exhaust/ boost restrictor removed. Getting Power FC and tune done in a few weeks.

I'll prob do that :yes:

But I am still curious as to why it's blanked off. Keep it under the 280HP rule? less airflow, less noise perhaps?

Any case, it's very trivial and really doesn't impact my current power output.

Pretty much what you said:

Limit hp

Limit noise

Extra intake as a bonus if used.

It just pops out with a small flat blade screwdriver after you take off the sticky foam tape around it.

Legend!!!

Well now I know. I've popped it open and now i get a nice induction noise and it feels a little punchier :-) free power upgrade lol

    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting    
    • The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.
    • Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.
    • Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
    • yeaaa that's why I haven't done any wiring to the stock ecu harness because I have the haltech, but then that leads me to the other question of "is the pnp harness really plug and play?" or would I have to still switch some pins/wires over because the pnp is for the rb25det neo harness, and not for the rb20de neo harness. was really hoping to find something to spoon feed me since so many people have done rb20neo + t conversions, but man this is rough.
