what are the benefits of retaining the VCT? and is it as simple as removing that section of the gtr plenuming and welding the gts-t part on?

only benefit i see is cost. i.e it costs a fair amount to change to a solid lifter/cam setup. but then you have a huge selection of cams to chose from

i dont really want to go explaining exactly what needs to be done on the open forum, however purchasers will be told exactly what to do and whats needed

thanks for the reply :thumbsup:

i understand not wanting to make everything public :D

If my j-spec supplier doesn't work out i will be getting in contact with you for sure ;)

again thanks for all the helpfully reply :)

Wouldnt recomend the rb26 set up on a 20 head.

Why? Not enough airflow?

Shane and I have spoken a bit about making one for the 20..... Im hoping this isnt an exercise in money wasting....

That's right, not enough airflow for it to make decent response and stumbling on throttle openings. The velocities of the air are what is important. But for the cost, just setup a custom 6tb intake.

Call Wayne at Meridian Motorsport in Melbourne. He can either organise the setup or put you in touch with someone who can.

why is there not enough air flow? cause the 20 heads have smaller ports?

Been lurking for a bit, but now I am finally in the position to get some wk done to the car. I am very interested in the ITB conversion for my (RB25) RB30DET. Is there any (signiciant) difference in ITB designs throughout the RB26 year models that I should be looking for? I have done a search, but came up empty handed.

I already have the Greddy intake with the Q45 TB, but on my '77 280Z that manifold angles out too far and for the most part hits the fender. The GTR manifold would pretty much perfectly line up with the openings in the rad support to the FMIC. Plus the extra throttle response wouldn't suck either...

through i give an update on my situation.

After searching long and hard i finally found a brand new Blitz Kit :P (found on yahoo auction) price was too good to pass up :(

my gtr plenum comes this week and hopfully the blitz kit will be here within 5-6days. i put some pics up of the kit once it arrive

I have done the sums many times for many people, no matter how I work it it ALWAYS works out cheaper to sell the RB25 cylinder head and excessories and buy an RB26 cylinder head. By the time you do the inlet manifiold, cams (RB26 cams are always cheaper), pulleys, bypass the VVT, lifters, valve springs, valves and then injectors (top feed are always cheaper), the fuel rail (the standard RB26 rail is good for over 650 bhp) etc etc.

Then you have the fact that the end result (of a hybrid RB25 cylinder head) is never as good a full RB26 top end.

I havent looked at the 26 plenums in detail... but couldn't you just plane off say 5mm from the first components that bolt to the head (do the throttles bolt directly up to the head on a 26?? I had a feeling they have a small manifold piece between the head and throts...), and get a 25 flange laser cut out of ally, and weld onto the planed off area? That would seem like the most simple, and cheapest method to me... mind you, i haven't looked at the 26 and 25 inlets in detail...

Laser cutting ally is cheap as... hell, take the laser cutters a new gasket for a 25 and they'll be able to cut you an ally flange piece of piss... (ie. used as the stencil)... it might cost you what... $100-150? maybe less (for the flange)... welding it would be the more expensive part, but even that should only cost a couple hundred at most... (welding + grinding the inside ports clean)

Maybe im heading off on the wrong track here, but I just haven't had time to look at the two inlets in detail...

You mean like this??

I'm going single throttle body with the GTR plenum welded to stock runners, hopefully it turns out alright :down:

That's a head setup worth grabbing. 1800 with freight say. A little skim and lap the valves and bingo, bolt right on. Covers and all. Might just grab it myself.

    • Ok i will get those 310mm. I found one but on a different site. This is the description on those...is it ok? Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
