RB25DE vs RB25DET airbox

[Zahos]

Can anyone tell me if they are the same?

I can get an airbox off an RB25DE, but it will be be for an RB25DET. I really only need the lid and dont care about the rest.

thanks

Um, i can tell you a K & N replacement airfilter is the same size, as for the box i dont know, in the 33 its very easy to open the airbox, in my R32 GTS25, getting to the airbox open is annoying. I have broken all but 1 clip on mine now. Hope this helps......a touch.

[Zahos]

ok, thanks for that.

So the size is the same, and all I need to know now is if the snorkel is the same, or in the same position.

I'm guessing they would not have bothered designing a seperate airbox for the N/A version, as it is not cost effective.

It's just the the location of where the AFM attaches that's different...the turbo one has the outlet lower, the snorkel and top section should be the same

Need to revisit this thread

Has anyone here with a NA R34 swapped their airbox for a DET airbox?

I'd just like to know if it's possible as the DE airbox and snorkel setup is terrible.

some pics would be good to if anyone has them.

thanks

There both the same as i have both the Gtst snokel and gts snokel sitting in the shed

[Reggi34dr]

for the 33's they maybe the same but for the 34's they are not.

if you want a pic of the airbox currently on my NA NEO I'll post one up

Here are the pics. As you can see, you now know why I asked if anyone has changed their NA airbox to a DET airbox

R33 is different as well, not only R34

GTS the AFM attaches to the top of the box like most other cars

GTS-T the AFM attaches to the bottom of the box

[Reggi34dr]

do you know/think it will be a fairly straightforward swap to a GT-T airbox?

has any NA owner done this?

[ebola]

You know, I don't really get it.

Why are you wanting to swap in another airbox?

I would presume for flow, in which case I suspect you would be better with a pod filter. You can even hide it in your air box. If you did that, I'd make sure you have a (good) cold air intake.

If I was going to put a pod in mine (rb20det), thats what I'd do.

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

does anyone even read my replies ???? blah !!

[666DAN]

Yes, I have replaced a DE with a DET airbox, when I converted my car from N/A to bolt-on turbo, it can be made to fit, just as said twice before the AFM attaches in a different location.

[Reggi34dr]

ok

thanks Dan.

I did realise long ago that the AFM attaches differently between the DE & DET airboxes. I was just wanting to know if the DET airbox will bolt straight in and if the AFM will attach up to the DET's lower mounting point without any mods.

Just a question, regarding the top, i understand that it is easy to fit a Turbo 34 Airbox in an N/A but what about vice versa, problem is its been very difficult for me to source one and the only ones that appear to be available are the N/A ones,

My one was thrown out by my Father in Law (I'm pretty sure he threw it out!!), so now i need one to clear my defect.

Has anyone done this before???

ok

thanks Dan.

what about an enclosed box for your pod? isnt that legal? (because its within a shroud) obviously different states are going to be different.

the issue youl have is that the intercooler piping will most likely interfere with the mounts/box construction if you use an NA box. thats the main diff between NA and turbo boxes, in R33s atleast. id imagine R34s would be the same deal
