How To Install Rb26 Plenum (Intake manifold) on an Rb25det

*work in progress*

What is needed:

-Complete Rb26 Intake Manifold (inc fuel-rail, injectors)

-Blitz Adopter Kit or similar

-Intake-side i/c piping

-various hoses (fuel lines, heater hoses, coolent lines)*

-Rb25 and Rb26 Intake manifold gaskets

first set is to completely remove the rb25 intake plenum, i found to make the job easier it was best to remove the throttle body.

now this is what it should look like once you remove the stock plenum

next was a trail fit the 1st adopter plate

next you need to remove the 2 studs; one is far right the other on the far left (i removed them by using a vice-grip)

the stud removed

the next step is IMPORTANT, because the GTR doesn't have the VCT, the VCT solenoidal hits on the 26 plenum

to solve this problem, the water hose section on the rb26 plenum must be chop off and replaced with the 25 water hose section

*Im still waiting for this to be done and will update once i get the plenum back*

Also keen for the updates but I was also wondering who shanef is and how do I contact him?

Does anyone kno why there is two seperate plates? I would hav thought one plate with one set of holes to go into the 25 head and one set for the 26 intake would have been enough??

so which route is cheaper this way cuz I can buy a GTR plenum for like 50.00 bucks or I can buy the greddy kit 800 bucks comes with everything

If you can get one for 50 bucks with the ITB's I will give you $100 and you just made yourself an easy $50 :D

Try this website I go here lots to look for parts.If I cant find it here then it means I have to go to the junkyard. http://www.slidewizeimports.com/

buy a greedy kit;

The gtr plenum isn't as cheap as it might seem

you have

Gtr plenum

Gtr fuel rail + gtr injectors + gtr injector plugs + gtr resistance pack

New Intercooler Piping

Adopter kit

GTR throttle cable or make a bracket to mount the gts-t throttle cable on the gtr plenum

GTR plenum gaskets

If you are lucky to find a blitz adopter kit it makes it alittle easier but it is no way a straight forward job, im taking the new out as its going to make it about 10x easier to get the job done.

Also even with the blitz adopter kit you still need to do some welding

(cut and remove the water outlet on the 25 plenum and cut the 26 water outlet off and weld on the 25 outlet)

as above and where can you buy the adapter kits?

i was lucky to find a brand new blitz kit from japan but blitz stop making them in 2005 i think and they are extremely rare to come by.

the difference between the blitz kit and the other ones is the blitz one comes with more than just the adopter plate it comes with adopter for the TPS and ACC value

Also updates have been lacking because i lost interest lol, but i have made the choice to take it to a friends workshop so that i can have the engine remove as it will speed up the job and make it 100% easier.

Hopefully i should have some updates next week

cool cool - theres a blitz kit on ebay right now lol

lol just check it out, i don't know how the person pay $1400 for it. as they were 80,000yen brand new and around the same price alittle less (60,000yen - 80,000yen second hand).

If you add up the cost it works out alot cheaper to do the greddy plenum.

$800 for adopter kit

$300-$600 for complete gtr plenum inc fuel rail

$500-$800 for gtr injectors (basing on 600cc size)

gaskets kit $200

Gtr injector plugs $25

Gtr resistor pack $150

Gtr throttle cable ???

Welding $150

Fitting ???

you must have an aftermarket ecu and then of course the cost of retuning

yea i did more researching at my homboys auto shop injectors are expense.LOl ima do the greddy plenum comes with everything cept the pipe but NP I can buy the pipe from garageoff for like 10 bucks ^^ I LOVE JAPAN so I am lookin at about 850 bucks plus my own time and labor lol

But by your analogy the greddy kit isnt cheap either,

$1100 for the plenum(they have probably gone up with the dollar)

$200 Q45 throttle body

$100 Gaskets

$??? S13 throttle cable

$800 Upgrade injectors

$??? Fitting

$??? Intercooler piping

ECU and tuning still apply. Althoug you could run either setup on a remapped ecu

seems like this guy didnt pay much http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/to...um-t181826.html but this looks like a pain and something expensive for which i dont need now.I will probably finish up basic bolt ons like a high flow cat and dump pipe and headers.If I stil have a skyline lol currently looking at a S15 or a toyota Chaser tour v I might do the swap.AND MY WEBSITE DIEDDDDD READ THERE COMMENT TEARSSSSSS but I can still look on yahoo auctions but its more of a pain to find what I want lol.http://www.slidewizeimports.com/ closing down because of the economy

china spec greddy plenum $200-$300

adopter to use stock throttle body $50

use old gaskets

use stock cable

use same injectors

trust me it will work out alot cheaper.

(i was quote over $2000 to install the gtr plenum lol)

    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
    • You can probably scrub the rust with a toothbrush or something. After you get the rust off flush well with water to neutralize and you will probably want to also use a fuel tank sealer to keep it from rusting again.
    • The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:
