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)

    • He obviously had his reason for flipping you off. I wonder what it was...
    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
