Building An Rb26 For Response....


Recommended Posts

hangon, forgive my ingorance here, but how does one simply add VVT to an RB26 head? i've heard of the HKS VCON, (or whatever it is called) and the NEOs have VVT but not the 26 heads, or have i TOTALLY miussed something?

cheers

Just fit VCT, its a piece of piss and worth its weight in gold low and mid torque / power wise.

so is this ^^ just meaning add a 26 plenum to a 25NEO head to your 26 block, to make an RB26 with VCT?

I did not see a How to on this =(

but what about the tuning part?

No, you would need to keep the 26 head or nothing would fit. Just retrofit the advance mechanism to the cam and make it work.

HKS have a kit to retrofit the VQ35 constantly variable gear to the front of the 26 cam, with tuning solutions. Otherwise the Haltech/link etc can be programmed if you have a good tuner.

RB25 VCT would be easier to retrofit, but a 'how to' is a while away. :P Unless you want to fit it yourself and take pics?

serious question.. what do you think would yeild better response on a rb26 with -5s.

1) Carbon driveshaft

2) Upgrade -5s to gtx2860 wheel ??

Pretty much done everything else I could done as far as supporting mod. I could potentielly go with raw brokerage pte 6266 turbo kit but heck thats some massive work..

Carbon driveshaft won't do much for how the turbos will respond. You notice the throttle response improve a bit.

You want response, 6262 would be your pick, not a 6266.

I don't think so, I still think the correct cams dialed in properly with the right turbo-cam combo will give good enough results to not warrant the money for VCT, find away to add the lift and duration change aswell as timing and then that would be worth the $1K US their asking

Just my 2c

I think you mean 6k not 1k and thats just for step 1, step 2 and step pro need different pistons plus the step 2 and step pro kits are a bit more expensive to being with.

Cheap upgrade considering the gains and what is in the kit.

    • Ah, yeah, the diff bushing in the rear subframe, this has been a problem since the start of the V35 in the early '00s and the only solution ever offered by Nissan is a whole new subframe.  Since they are fluid filled, as soon as they form the smallest crack, they leak brown fluid everywhere.  The aftermarket options for the v35 and V36 aren't suitable for the V37 either, Z1 has built an aftermarket option, but a few people have had issues with it. The brace should reduce movement in that bushing, so should extend its life! Did you notice any increase in noise from the driveline?  I know some have installed solid subframe collars and complain about the amount of noise it transmits through to the body, but not sure if the diff brace makes any noticeable difference?

    • Yea I like you had the same thought that maybe it's placebo but I pick up two different people on my way to work on different days. I have not told them of the mods and they both said to me if I had done something as it's alot more comfortable in traffic without feeling the harshness of the gear change. Quite surprised. Before I forget, another reason to get the diff brace is that apparently the stock diff bushings are apparently crap and if its worn and needs replacement, the whole subframe needs to be replaced. This brace should help reduce the wear and tear. 
    • well, FWIW mechanic is surely not right about the bearings being aluminium, they would be softer; mostly tin, nickel, copper and lead on a steel shell.
