Are you able to provide photos of the kit in this thread 1400r?

From what I've read, the kits are worth a mint, so I'm going to look into fabricating my own.

PM me if you like 1400r. :)

so you can copy it ?

don't think so mate how's that gonna help me sell mine

Or just get yourself a Plazmaman plenum kit, $900 odd. Look a bit better than the Greddy ones and also took me and a mate a couple hours to put on and it was all done, you can retain std TB without an adaptor plate like the Greddy plenum and you can also use the std throttle cable.... except for the intercooler piping does need to bee addressed obviously

That defeats the purpose of looking into an ITB setup.

What do you guys want to know? I've been running the 26 intake and ITB's for a few years on my 25.

I would just like to know what some of the major problems were that you came accross whilst fitting everything up and how u went about overcomming the problem?

Things like what needed to be modified and in what way, such as the VCT which u just removed, or what u needed to relocate?

cheers

I just used a bolt to plug the VCT hole. Needed some gasket material for custom gaskets. I also did a fair bit of port matching. My RB25 is in a R32, so I have VERY little room between the shock tower/brake master cylinder and the surge tank. If the tank ever needs to come off, the BMC is going to have to come out, and maybe the engine. Also, I think I had to use the RB26 oil cooler/filter mount.

      Get something that can spray a bit, something like I'd use is a pressure pack for weed sprayer. I use one with degreaser. Spray it on (make sure you're fully covered up, you don't want that shit on you, especially face/eyes). Alternatively, a paint brush will help here as you can brush and work at the stuff quite aggressively.   Be aware, citric acid can eat metal away and will cause it to rust more later. So make sure you neutralise it when done, and give the fresh metal some protection. That hanger, I'd honestly bin and get something like the Frenchy's drop in replacement. The tank, again, I'd look for something else to replace it with. Remember, as metal turns to rust, it means there's less metal there now. So some patches of your fuel tank are likely to be quite thin.   Personally, Id focus on the front end of things, IE, how did the injectors get clogged if they're meant to be after a fuel filter. Then, once the front is sorted, I'd rig something up, even like a small surge tank, and make sure the engine is now running and all behaving. Then I'd replace the fuel tank and fuel hanger and pump. Also, I'd already be preparing to ditch your fuel filter...

      That's looking great! Are you planning to do things like all hidden wiring with it, or you're planning to have it look more like we'd expect an RB in an engine bay to look like?

      I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.

      If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
