This thread was linked from another where a guy asked about doing this.

I've read the whole thing and man what alot of mucking round for what is such an easy job.

We've done lots of RB26 itb's and plenims (or just the plenim with a single front TB) on R33 RB25 heads and its pretty easy and we charge only nzd600 if the customer supplies their stock 25 plenim base to use as a starting point.

It bolts straight back up, your side feeds go straight back in along with the rail and you keep vct etc.

Hi Rob , can you give us any more details or even pics without giving any secrets away ?

I like the idea of a modified primary RB25 inlet manifold section that mounts the throttlebodies etc just like the inner RB26 section does .

Can you tell me if R33 GTR IAC and TPS is electrically compatible with 96 S2 R33 GTS25T loom etc ? Computer is PFC BTW .

I have all the R33 GTR inlet manifold system and if I can run it with the 25's rail and Nismo side feeds thats real good news .

Thanks for your input , cheers Adrian in Sydney .

E-mail me [email protected] and I'll send you pix.

Your rail and inj etc can all go straight back on.

how much if you supply the stock 25 plenum base?

I did get RIPS to E mail me pics of his modified RB25 inner manifold section with the RB26 TB's and plenum bolted to an engine and it looks the part .

Rob mentioned that they don't use the air bypass on their engines and I've asked for details but not gotten a reply . I gather he means the cold start heated extra air bypass valve and I'm not sure why they wouldn't use it .

Can anyone familiar with R33 RB25 and R33 RB26 inlet manifolds add anything about this ?

Also for the 20th time can anyone confirm if an R33 GTR's IAC solenoid is electrically compatible with an R33GTS25T (S2) loom and PFC .

Cheers A .

I think I'm going to go with the RIPS modified RB25 lower manifold to run the GTR throttles and plenum chamber .

Robs wants $125NZ to supply the lower 25 manifold section and it's probably not economic to buy/post one over - or is it ?

If anyone in Sydney can sell me an R33 RB25DET S2 unmodified (non port matched) lower manifold section cheaply please let me know .

Also for the record are the gaskets in RB26 manifold sections reasonably easy to get ?

Cheers Adrian .

This just gets harder to do "factory style" .

I manage to search around and found a pic of an RB26 with the plenum and throttle plates removed so I could see the air chamber that is fed from the plenum chamber on one side and feeds through front and back facing hoses to two steel tubes runing up to an air log above the manifolds inner section .

I'm not sure that this could be re created on an Rb25's lower manifold section but RIPs would be the one to know . I'm guessing that it may foul on the 25's side feed injector rail etc .

All my 26 manifold stuff is burried under a wrecking yard ATM and I can't dig it out today , does anyone have pics of the RB26's inner manifold section bare ?

RIPS has said that they don't bother with any of this stuff because with the computers they run they don't have a problem . I can't see how it would start cold real well without the Auxiliary Air Valve or how its going to idle at a constant speed without the Idle Air Control Valve - let alone when the Air Con cuts in . I want to run with an R33 PFC and side feed injectors but I don't see how it can all fit together like Nissan would/should have had it .

Any ideas ?

I have a Rips plenum without the Auxiliary Air Valve or Idle Air Control Valve and was running it with a PFC no problems and it was not too bad on cold start, I really dont think its an issue

I spoke to Rob about it and they preety much exclusively run Link computers in all the cars they build I have now got a Link G4 and will be tuned soon so it will be interesting to see how it goes

Yeah I just like the idea of being able to control idle speed hot or cold and not have to resort to screwing around with throttle plates .

I have E mailed Rob so it will be interesting to see if he has an answer to this air by pass issue . Maybe he can fab something a bit more compact than Nissans system on the RB26 inner manifold and I can place the chamber and valves somewhere a bit more accessable than under the manifold .

I went through the multiple SU and Weber carburettors thing years ago and don't want to go back with fuel injection .

In time , cheers A .

or just get a Lin-Pec and enjoy a better ecu for next to no change over cost if you already have a PFC+Z32 to sell

At the end of the day I dont think it would be a problem for rips to fab something up but I reckon what I'm doing is the way to go

Keen to know what Robby recommends

I got an E Mail back from Rob -

Anything is possible, its just time and money.

We don't use idle valves ourselves but your best bet would be to remote mount a RB20 units and run hoses to them, not too hard to do at all and they'd fit under the 26 plenim.

Does anyone have pics of the RB20 AAC/IAC housing so I can have a bit of an idea what they look like , and are they anything like the R33 RB25 one ?

Cheers Adrian .

My intake with the IAC housing and adapter plates (blitz I think) is in a box and on the way over here from japan, but I won't get it until the middle of December. I'm pretty sure I used the 25 IAC though with some creative bends in the vacuum tubing.

I don't have a pic but the main difference between the 20 and 25 det IAC valves is the 20 only has the 1 plug and solenoid to control idle where as the 25 has the second solenoid for idle step up with AC. They are very similar lay out wise other than that.

AAC valves are the same between the 2 models, maybe a different plug.

I blocked off the AAC on an rb20 years ago after a hose to it split and i refused to pay the $50 plus asking price from nissan for a replacement. In terms of cold start and drivability the car was fine other than it used to stall on return to idle at the same spot every morning. It would only happen in the first couple of minutes of driving. This was still stock ecu long before i swapped to a 25 and pfc.

I reckon with a tunable ecu you could have tuned that issue out. My s13 had all the cold start stuff removed from the throttle body when i got it and it cold started and ran better than my skyline ever did, even with the big cams and light flywheel. Both with PFC.

with map sense all this can be tuned around, afm is a bit more involved but can be done to give acceptable results.

I'm not interested in doing this unless it can work completly like a GTR does and I think thats only possible with the sandwich adapter plates or an RB26 head , neither appeals to me .

I have toyed with the idea of twin TB's on a std RB25 plenum chamber but you'd still have the plumbing over the cam covers .

No I think the economics go with a GReddy type manifold on an RB25DET .

Multiple throttling is nice but I can't see it being worth the cost and complexity of doing it to an R33 GTS25T , blame Nissan because they went to the effort to make it this difficult .

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
