im not sure what other info people have but i can tell you a few things.

the RB26 will not bolt strait up to the rb20/25 head but trust make an adapter plate to make it.

if you got one with the 6 throttle bodys than i think you would find grater responce and alround proformance benifits from it but a GTR plenum with the throttles atached is usualy worth a lot. probably not worth it.

thats when you go for the greddy forward facing plenums. they sell for around $1000 with a big single throttle. plus they will bolt straight up to an rb20/25.

hope that helps.

Ypu would have to get the complete manifold with throttles and the piece between the throttles and head, then make an adapter, usually rb20's need all the low down torque they can get, putting a gtr manifold will lose you heaps of it, and the standard manifold can still be used to make heaps of power, why do you want to change it?

Tests done have shown 20's lose about 5-10% power across the board as the intake velocities are much slower. The adaptor is for 25's I believe which can run this due to similar displacement.

    • Does that price include the rack time to straighten the frame and body and replacement of parts and paint, as well as the noise and emmisions testing  The last engineering certificate I had done, albeit about 15 years ago, was around $1000 for a few inspections and the certificate 
    • 😂 thanks guys. The diagram i had did not have the breather on it at all. Much appreciated.  
    • Geez, engineers fees have definitely gone up. Mine back 2007 cost me all of $300. Mind you, I had to go back to him a few times to get him to write the correct things on the report after he'd inspected it. Things like wrong exhaust size, wrong wheel sizes, etc etc.
    • Can we see a scan of the original quote? The problem with engineers (and by this, I mean, all engineers across all engineering industries) is that there are "engineers" and there are "engineers" (you'll have to imagine the two different vocal emphases on those two versions of the same word. Engineering is a mindset - your farm kid who spent his life rebuilding the tractor will likely make a good engineer. The farm kid who spent his life taking photos of butterflies.. perhaps not. But on top of that mindset, the modern engineer has to learn how to write so that there is absolutely no way of being misunderstood. Proposals/budget estimates/quotations are one place where this is absolutely vital. You have to delineate your scope of supply with extremely hard boundaries, and anywhere where there is any possibility of not being able to have such a hard boundary, you need to write language that will cover you from scope creep, cost overruns, the inevitable interference of the client or their "engineer", etc etc. Now, if your clients are the BHPs and the Rio Tintos of the world, and similar, then you get good at this. If you are an automotive engineer, pitching work to the great unwashed masses, your skills in this area might not be well developed, because you're only dealing with knuckle draggers trying to get a big block legal in a Torana. And when I say "might not"....I'd suggest there's a better than even chance that any such skills might be completely absent. So, we might be able to look at your quote and see what the opportunities are for rebuttal.
