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...

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
