How To: Rb26 Plenum On Rb25

[5spdvl]

Bump?

Just wondering how you went with this [Michael]? I know it's a bit of an old thread, but I'm looking into doing precisely this.

[1400r]

got one of those blitz kits if anyone's keen

it aint cheap it cost close to 2k

[5spdvl]

Are you able to provide photos of the kit in this thread 1400r?

From what I've read, the kits are worth a mint, so I'm going to look into fabricating my own.

PM me if you like 1400r.

[Cjmartz2k]

What do you guys want to know? I've been running the 26 intake and ITB's for a few years on my 25.

[5spdvl]

Well, since I want to make my own, some photos of your set up could potentially help.

Also, how you relocated the VCT solenoid.

If you have any templates by any chance, that'd be awesome.

[Cjmartz2k]

PM replied too, but just for anybody else, I found a blitz kit for real cheap, so no templates, and I don't have VCT due to my HKS 264's.

so you can copy it ?

don't think so mate how's that gonna help me sell mine

[5spdvl]

I didn't ask for specs, I asked for photos.

There's pretty limimted information of this conversion.

If you don't want to help that's fine, there's the door.

Or just get yourself a Plazmaman plenum kit, $900 odd. Look a bit better than the Greddy ones and also took me and a mate a couple hours to put on and it was all done, you can retain std TB without an adaptor plate like the Greddy plenum and you can also use the std throttle cable.... except for the intercooler piping does need to bee addressed obviously

Yeah but then no Individual throttles.

That defeats the purpose of looking into an ITB setup.

[5spdvl]

Yeah, I didn't want to say it. But it totally defeats the purpose.

I would just like to know what some of the major problems were that you came accross whilst fitting everything up and how u went about overcomming the problem?

Things like what needed to be modified and in what way, such as the VCT which u just removed, or what u needed to relocate?

cheers

I just used a bolt to plug the VCT hole. Needed some gasket material for custom gaskets. I also did a fair bit of port matching. My RB25 is in a R32, so I have VERY little room between the shock tower/brake master cylinder and the surge tank. If the tank ever needs to come off, the BMC is going to have to come out, and maybe the engine. Also, I think I had to use the RB26 oil cooler/filter mount.

What sort of difference did you get out of it and how noticable was it?

response?torque?power-high/mid/low?
