can you just have a Rb 26 block but have all the componets that a RB25 has like turbo manifold etc thorttle body?. cause i would just like to have the internals of a rb26 and just have a single turbo well its a plan anyway.

World Nissan Federation has just lifted its ban on single turbo RB26's, you should be able to get by no worry's

You can put RB26 pistons/rods/crank into the RB25. But IMO there is little point.

They are only marginally better than the RB25 gear.

Ideally you'd need aftermarket pistons if you wanted any increase.

And as for the manifolds, throttle bodies etc from RB25--RB26, they are different. Manifold bolt pattern especially.

It can all be made to fit, but it will cost.

Either way, if you dont have 15k, then no need to think about any of this :thumbsup:

if its goona cost so much im not goona bother id rather just change the internals in my rb 25 instead. thanks guys

RB25 is still going to cost you mate.

I hope you dont think its going to be a lot cheaper :)

Build motor in/out = ~6-7k

Turbo = $1700

Manifold = $1100

Then all the parts required to support, injectors, afm, ecu, coil packs, clutch, diff etc.

Your still looking at around 15k either way really.

How about you set a budget.

Then people here will be able to tell you what you can & can not attain with that money.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
