hi there everyone just wondering if anyone has done a rb26 conversion on a stagea and if so

does it just bolt in and what ecu or electrical changes have to be made

thanks

PM Cruiseliner (Brad). hes done it before. or buy a RS260. hard work is already done.

thats a page i made ages ago on whats needed, have a look, it doesnt say everything but its alot of the stuff anyway.

the conversion is not cheap and if u want a 26 buy the 260rs because the difference wont pay for the conversion and u end up with a rs four with the gtr engine, then u need the gtr brakes, diff, suspension, ecu, intercooler, etc that all comes stock on the 260rs.

labour wouldnt be cheap either if u dont plan on doing it yourself. dont forget the 26's are all very very long in the tooth now and i wouldnt buy one without it being rebuilt or having it done once u get it as they dont last long and most are over the 150 000km mark regardless of the stupid odometer readings of 60 000km on every second import.

spend the extra on the 25 and keep the rs4 or sell and buy the 260rs and do some light mods. i still wouldnt trust the 26 to last very long, and pushing 350-400awhp through a stock used one will shorten its life span alot. rebuild it to stock and it will last on that power no worries but the old engines have worn rings and bearings from the rpm and wear and tear during there life.

thats just my personal opinion, hope it helps

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
