Been looking into it for a while now but cant seem to find much info

Is it worth putting on a RB26 Intake man on a 25 and can it be done???

IF so who has done this and how much will I be looking at?

IMHO it would only be worth it if your going to keep the ITBs, otherwise get one designed for the RB25.

Check this recent thread out on the subject... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Rb...ap-t208070.html

The stock RB25 manifold will support 500hp.Only get a Greddy one if you are chasing every KW.

i was waiting for that one.

standard plenum will support 2000hp...............if you stick enough boost into it.

the change of intake manifold/plenum is to improve on the poor properties of a standard plenum...therefore doing a better job of what the existing one on there is currently doing. if the new plenum is doing its job the benefits are increased power and torque everywhere.

effeciency is the key...its not what you do (because its more than likely been done before) but how you do it which makes it impressive :cheers:

Well than, put it this way. The stock intake manifold is not very inefficient up to 500hp. I switched mine, along with cams and more boost, and I'm only making about 30-40hp more.

30-40hp with cams and more boost? Something a miss there.

I bolted a greddy copy plenum on, best upgrade i ever done.. cheap too...helps with intake temps, throttle response is unreal and the mid range and top end is good and most of all ya engine bay looks how a engine bay should look nice and tidy.

there is alot of controversy surronding this copy item however i am willing to give it a go. Just wondering what most people did with the location of their bov?? did u have to have another pipe made up etc?? someone pm me the answer (if needs to be made up who is brisbane would be good for it) also would you be able to use some of the old style hybrid piping??

that's about every possible reason you would ever have to change it...

The center feed style that the OEM plenum uses is actually a lot better for sharing PSI evenly to every cylinder, where unless you run some extra boost, larger plenums such as those from Plazmaman, can sometimes cause a bit of starvation... again this only really matters if you are chasing every last KW...

All the other reasons though are valid... Keeps inlet temp down cause the piping doesn't run straight back over the fan on the radiator, OR the block... Increases throttle response due to shorter piping... looks a SHIT TONNE better... all good reasons :)

I had a GKtech intercooler kit with your normal style intercooler piping going between fan shroud etc..

i re used it, had to cut up one 90 degree bend and re used a bit of black 90 degree silicon i had from the stock cooler and it all bolted up sweet as.. mind u i took out my washer bottle, still yet to re mount a smaller one...

with mine i have the GTR style piping that comes out of the side wall which allows the washer bottle to stay in place (although think i will replace soon with alloy one etc..) i suppose when i go to do it i'll find out, i just need to have the bov welded onto the cooler pipe coming out of cooler. (any suggestings where in brisbane??) I doing up my plenum now. will show pics when it is finished:D cheers hame

i think its time to change tuner/mechanic or who ever recommended the combination because there is certainly something not right there.

drdoof - how do you know that ? do a search of my posts and you will find some flow test figures of the standard plenum, note 28" is approx 1psi of pressure, and you will soon see how the standard one distributes air.

Yeah, the exhaust side of my hybrid dodge cummins/yellow bus turbo is choking the shit out of my motor. I need a bigger exh side. I already have the turbine housing, I just need a HX40 wheel. My pressure ratio's in the exh manifold must be through the roof.

To be honest, mostly hearsay and guess work... You coulda provided a link to your work :) I will go searching...

    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
