So you going with a Greddy? Make sure you put on a decen TB when you do it

these guys make good stuff: http://www.throttlebodies.com.au/

rubbish...

these are more like it.

http://www.hypertune.net/index.php?option=...0&Itemid=83

so if you order a hypertune TB do they make it to suit the plenum or do you get the same shape to suit a hypertune plenum?

TBA will make it to suit the type of plenum and they are far from rubbish :(

If I was buying a hypertune plenum the choice is easy but if not I would be going to TBA

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 .

hey discopotator03 i am running an rb26 plenum on my 25 using the blitz kit. im using gtr fuel rail + injectors. i had to wire in the resistor pack for the injectors. I was able to run the rb25 IAC, the blitz kit came with an adoptor to run it but in the end it wasn't needed.

the AAC value problem was abit of a head f**k in the beginning but what we did was replace the std ACC box with a tube with a number of fitting on it and just connect all the hoses to that.

everything work fine and im running pfc and std loom.

I can tell you that this isn't a easy job, i ended up taking the motor out as there is just not enough room to be able to fit the plenum on once you put the adoptor plate. as its very close to the firewall.

im running the stock rb25 throttle cable but it is longer, so i ended up looping it around in the cabin and making a custom bracket in the engine bay.

I am running an hks oil cooler kit so i don't have an issue with the oil filter as it is on the relocation kit.

The major issue with the blitz kit is that because of the VCT the gtr plenum won't fit the water outlet hit its. so you can remove the VCT or else what they say to do it cut and remove the water outlet from the rb25 plenum and weld it onto the rb26 plenum i did this and it work fine! the std r33 radiator hose still fit (i think it was alittle to long so we ended up cutting abit off)

also if i remember right one of the coolant lines which is used in the rb25 plenum (connects to the throttle body) is not used in the gtr plenum i can't remember what we did with those hoses we might have just loop them together or block them off

Its based on the bolt hole centres...Hypertune TB's suit most plenums including GReddy (90mm)

TBA TB's are/were garbage...basic low end product...had some bad experiences with them years ago, maybe they have picked up their game.

Hey guys I'm doing this conversion ATM with rb25 runners cut off. Couple of questions, what's the valve under the plenum that is part of the pipe that bolts to the plenum? Also how Do i go about running idle control. And as above does brake booster get vac from the gtr plenum chamber? Will that smaller fitting give me accurate boost and vac reading for guage?

I've been reading up about doing this. Seems a lot of the Honda guys run a vacuum manifold running a vacuum line from each runner to a tank then run everything that needs vacuum from this vacuum tank/manifold. Seems like a good way of doing it. Anyone else got ideas on how to run it all properlly.

Just wanna know what else runs on vacuum

Fuel pressure reg

Brake booster

Boost gauge

Thread revival anyone know where the injectors will spray with the adapter plates also without them using the cut and weld method. Im trying to think of what would be the best method to do this conversion

Lol its doesnt seem too hard with the cut and weld method. I keep the same injectors and water hose. Just have to work out how to get the Idle control valve. And from what ive worked out its cheaper than a plazmaman.

LOL your dreaming if you think it's easy... The runners don't line up correctly, nothing fits nicely.

IAC is the easiest part of it.

Even if you could do it yourself, it's not. Plus it's not a quick solution.

,,, don't let me talk you out of it. I've just been there.

PS what are you hoping to achieve?

post-77241-0-47181700-1377773537_thumb.png

I had a look at Nokumens results when he did it using the adapter plates. The runners not lining up is because theyre not ported properly. Ive seen a smooth finish however i have not done it am willing to do it.


If i do it like the picture above ive already eliminated the fitting part of the plenum to the head.An adapter plate can be made to fit the TPS sensor. The only thing that i could think of being hard (time consuming) would be probably linking up all the water lines properly. I have an oil cooler and relocation kit so there should be clearance on that side.

Im after throttle response, plus its a cheap OEM method for having a front facing plenum. Then again im not being strong headed and saying its do-able im just trying to gather as much information as i can before I give up.Modifying cars is not always easy.

... just buy a plazmaman or hyper tune. I know it looks like it's the more expensive option, but it won't be.

Oil cooler relo normally takes up more room then stock set up especially above the mounting block (where you will need the room for rb26 IAC).

As for the picture above, if I took that picture to my fabricator.... $600-800 at minimum just in time and flange. That's plus buying the lower half manifold, tb's, probably a rebuild on the tb's, plenum, throttle brackets, adapting the r34 tb, linkages, joining manifold, ballance manifold (that may well foul on your neo designed fuel rail), IAC block, IAC motor, hose work etc...

Then you have to make up a new throttle cable, depending how long you make the runners you will foul on the VCT solinoid.

New intake/cooler pipe work, BOV mounts etc

List goes on.

Fair enough.

I should have mentioned that i already have a fuel rail, injectors etc, If i were to change to a plazmaman or hypertune i would still need new cooler pipe, bov. The VCT solenoid will not foul because im cutting the runners of an RB25. Welding them to plates that will be used to bolt on the RB26 plenum.

I can fabricate that myself and port match the inside for a smooth blend. I have seen a few plenum going for around the $200-$600 mark. The only thing that would stop me from doing this is the hose work and IAC as you mentioned. Ive heard some do without IAC if they have a standalone ECU but i havent gathered enough information for it. Throttle cable can be cut to length and crimped with a steel wire crimp. All this can easily be done under $800.

But I guess it comes down to doing it if i could get a mock up plenum (which is impossible) would be definetely keen on trying this.

not meaning to revive an old thread but if anyone is after an adaptor for doing this Otaku Garage now sell them.

    • 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"
