R33 S2 RB25DET FFP Install - HELP

Hi all,

First poster here

I've got a few questions about installing a FFP. I've got a stock R33 S2 with the usual (FMIC, BOV, POD, Coilovers) around 176,000kms on the engine. The engine itself is very healthy, running stock boost but pulls like a dream, always serviced every 5,000kms with Penrite 10W40 Racing 10, spark plugs etc by myself of course.

 

Now, I bought a FFP the other week, pretty sure its a Greddy remake, got it for a cheap price with all the fittings, screws and throttle body. Also bought the stock Inlet Manifold Gasket from Autopro just incase the one on is no good.

Basically I want to tidy up the engine bay a little as I hate the look of the stock plenums and the J-pipe crossing over the engine is a pain to take off every time to do spark plugs. I'm very mechanically minded, been around RBs for years, done a few things to them and done a few engine rebuilds etc.

So my questions are; anyone here done a FFP install themselves? How long did it take and what difficulties did you run into? Anything major to drill/reshape etc or just bolt on stuff? Where does the BOV get relocated to as the crossover J-pipe gets removed? Where do all the vacuum lines go?

If anyone can get back to me ASAP with answers or even videos that would be more than appreciated as I don't want to start something and end up not being able to drive my baby, looking at doing all this over the weekend, cheers guys! 

NOTE: PICTURES WILL BE UPLOADED (ENGINE BAY, FFP, THROTTLE BODY)

There's a big how to thread in here somewhere. If you can't find it through the search function just Google. Get an adapter so you can use your stock throttle body. As you have bought it already I guess its a bit late to suggest putting the money towards a bigger turbo instead...

I've tried searching but nothing came up, also found one a few days ago through a Google search but it was pretty messy, how the guy did it etc..any pros to using the stock throttle body?

What turbo do you suggest? I want something capable of 350 - 400hp for street use with no huge lag!

No. Search on here using Google.  If you put site: sau.com.au in with your search terms it only searches here.

[bistratoaie]

I know that, but I still haven't found the thread. If you know where it is then perhaps you can link it to me?

[GTSBoy]

Serious?  2 seconds to type it in.  First hit!

If you are very mechanically minded then it should be really easy to work it all out while you are installing it.

@JustinP nice troll! Like I said, I don't want to run into any difficulties that I can avoid, its plain f**king logic!

The pipe from the intercooler to the throttle body will need to be remade. The bov gets installed before the throttle body on the new piece of intercooler piping and new pipe work will need to be made from the bov to the intake pipe, or don't bother reinstalling it and enjoy the flutters. The lines that are on the J pipe get installed on the new intercooler pipe and the lines that are on the stock plenum get installed on the freddy plenum, the factory lines probably aren't long enough so you will need new longer pieces of hose.

Get a GTX3071 with the divided rear housing, then get 2x external gates on and sit the lot on a 6Boost twin scroll manifold.

Screamers out of the bonnet or side quarter for extra street cred

the standard intake manifold will make the power goal you need,  so will the standard exhaust manifold.

 

Just get a bolt on turbo like what I have for sale atm,  install injectors and fuel pump and fmic.

FFP is not going gain you any power.

^this man speaks the truth

[bistratoaie]

@Guilt-Toy not really bothered by power gain from the FFP, will be concentrating on turbo, injectors and tune for the power end of things, was merely more of an aesthetic thing! but cheers, do you recommend any bolt-ons?

[Guilt-Toy]

just the usual fmic injectors,  fuel system,  a turbo to support the power that you need.

 

have got 375rwkw from standard rb25det and manifolds before.
