Rb25 Inlet Manifold On An Rb20

It could. But needs modifications to coolant galleries. As rb25 and rb20 are different in that matter. Also the inlet ports are different.

It has been done before though. So you can try it. Not a cheap bolt on job like for rb25 though.

Mate the front facing ones on a 20 are really a lot of mucking around. I did one on mine and If i had my time again I definitely wouldnt. If your changing it because you have a top mount turbo just redirect the piping off the standard manifold as ugly as it is.

I know this isnt a greddy one but you get a basic idea

You will need a radiator header tank

vacuum fittings

modify the coolant pipes and also get it lined up so the top radiator hose still fits

throttle cable

throttle cable holder

battery in boot unless your buying a mega small one which is expensive

make sure the coolant lines dont foul on the thermostat housing

redirect a few vac lines and coolant hoses

I also had to change the angle on the flange that bolts to the TB to get it to line up with the battery tray and clear the TPS

after all that this is what it will look like.....and on a 20 with the large throttle body and shorter runners you may lose some response...which you dont really need with an RB20 :down:

Hope that helps you out a bit

      I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.

      @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
