hey,

I recently pick myself up a I/C, now im getting around to do the piping sometime this week. now after reading how good the gtr plenum is and seeing one on a neo rb25, i was wondering does anyone know anyone in australia (or perth) that would be able to make up an adoptor plate to suit an r33 rb25?

thanks michael

Interesting. Was this a standard GTR plenum on the NEO or an aftermarket one (i.e Greddy). Anyone know how hard these would be to fit and whether it would be worth the effort, I mean, outside of making intercooler piping easier. The throttle cable would have to be adapted to suit, but anything else??

Brett, the gtr plenum was on an r34 gt-t 4dr (if u watch d1, it is the blitz r34 4dr, driven by Ken Nomura)

i just did abit of seraching and found that a plate or spacer would be needed to be made to fit inbetween the plenum and the rb25 head. i have contact someone in perth which does ic piping and ask him if he could possable do it, i will get back to you once i have got my reply.

also i read that the gtr fuel rail, will fit also pefrectly?

I fealt top end increased but you lose power down low, all in all if I owned another Skyline would I do it again.........No.......

As mentioned run a search on past threads, here is 2, mainly about 32's but 33's are bought up...

Brett, it was a stock gtr plenum, i have been told and read many times that the responds that the gtr plenum is second to none

on an RB26, YES with the multiple throttle bodies.

on an RB25, NO...........

then Sydneykid, why is it uses on the blitz r34 drift car? and what is the problem putting it on a rb25?

i really would like to know, as i have the chance to buy the plenum very soon and if it isnt going to work well on the rb25 there is no point me getting it

Maybe it has an RB26 in it. Or an RB26 cylinder head. Or maybe it was done so they could get the extra throttle response from the multiple throttle bodies. Drifters need throttle response much more than they need excessive power, particularly long wheelbase heavy sedans. One thing is for sure, there is far more to it than just the plenum.:cheers:

so SK, if i was to do it on my fairly stock rb25? the gains would be almost zero? if i dont lose any power, responds i will still do it as i want the piping shorter

Why not go for an aftermarket plenum made for the RB25?? At least then you know some R&D has gone into its design to make sure it works.

Forget about GAINS, you are looking at LOSSES. Have a read.....

Some info on the RB20 with RB26 inlet as per Zoom Magazine edition 64 and edition 62;

RB20withRB26Inlet.jpg

This picture shows the RB26 plenum being test fitted up to the cut and welded RB20 inlet. The throttle bodies go between the RB26 plenum and the modified (shortened) RB20 inlet but are not shown in this photo.

RB20inletwithRB26Plenum.jpg

This is a picture of the RB26 plenum, RB26 throttle bodies and RB20 shortened inlet on the RB20.

RB20withRB26InletonEngine.jpg

Using a 120 degree bend at the throttle body reduces the difference in intercooler pipework by more than 50%, to a bit less than 1 litre using 75 mm pipework.

NN120DegreeFront.jpg

NN120DegreeSide.jpg

To work out the throttle response difference the calculations are easy;

2500 cc X 5000 rpm / 2 (4 stroke) at 1.3 bar = 135 litres per second

So a saving of 1 litre represents less than 0.005 of a second

That's not a lot of lag to save with reduced pipework.

So using an RB26 plenum and throttle bodies on anything other than an RB26 is not a good idea in my opinion. Especially when you consider the potential to loose throttle response due to poor airflow distribution is far greater than any minute shortening of the inlet pipework.

My 20 cents worth:cheers:

    • This is the clearest explanation out of those: Page 77: Turn the crankshaft clockwise two full rotations with the tensioner pulley installation bolt in a loose condition. Insert a wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole to fix the tensioner pulley in place, then tighten the installation bolts. Tightening torque: 43–58 N·m (4.4–5.9 kg·m). The timing belt tension should be at the correct tension. Basically you turn the engine with the tensioner bolt loose, then use the allen key to hold it while you torque it up. And yes after that a good guide is being able to twist it 90o in one of the long free lengths of the belt
    • good choice....I have a set of those and use them all the time including on this job. Plus, no-one wants a damaged nipple
    • Thanks all, went with nismo strengthened belt and all genuine nissan idler and tensioner Question on RB25DET Neo Timing Tensioner: I have a question about the RB25DET Neo timing tensioner. In one of the videos (minute 20 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17y37BB9xnA and minute 27 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb99s2E9xUg), the process suggests tightening the tensioner pulley installation bolt to the specified torque initially, and then loosening it slightly to allow the spring to set the correct tension. Is this the correct approach? The R33 workshop manual on page 74 states: Loosen the tension pulley installation nuts. Insert the wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole and turn it clockwise to tighten the installation nut temporarily. The way this is written is confusing. Does this mean: Undo the nut, then reduce the tension by turning clockwise? Snug the nut so it stays in position without applying tension to the belt while removing the timing belt? The manual wording makes it sound like the nut will tighten automatically when you turn the tensioner clockwise , which is unclear to me.   Timing Belt Tension Adjustment Process: After loosening the tensioner nut, you turn the engine two full rotations by hand, which should set the correct tension. Once the tension is set, you tighten the bolt to 43 N·m (4.4 kg·m). Before tightening, you need to insert the Allen key into the hexagonal hole to hold the pulley in place while tightening the bolt. In one of the videos, it’s mentioned that you should twist the belt side to side, or turn it slightly to check if the tension is correct. The belt should turn halfway, indicating the right tension. However, I know that twisting or turning the belt is not a good idea. What are your thoughts on this? Finally, how can I ensure the belt isn’t overtightened? I’ve seen many cases where people have overtightened the timing belt.   Manual Excerpts: Page 74: Loosen the tension pulley installation nuts. Insert the wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole and turn it clockwise to tighten the installation nut temporarily. Remove the timing belt from each pulley. Page 77: Turn the crankshaft clockwise two full rotations with the tensioner pulley installation bolt in a loose condition. Insert a wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole to fix the tensioner pulley in place, then tighten the installation bolts. Tightening torque: 43–58 N·m (4.4–5.9 kg·m). The timing belt tension should be at the correct tension.
    • Takes a few minutes to malke one. Wood, or steel, or a wrap strap with some strategically placed solids to provide teh drive onto the ribs.
    • I would strongly suggest using the correct tool. They are not expensive and make the job much easier and don't damage the lock ring. Google "fuel tank lock ring removal tool" to see what I'm talking about.
