Okay I have searched but not seeing any DIY walkthrough on it. I am getting a Plazmaman Intake Mani for my GTT and I am thinking about getting the RB26 cam covers to go with the setup as they are more appealing. From my search it is said that they are a replacement item and only thing needed is a 26 backing plate. Does anyone have pictures of what they are tlaking about. I may be able to get the items off a damaged RB26 but I need to know what I need and I want to keep my VCT setup as well, this is going on a GT3076R turbo upgrade I am doing hopefully by Christmas. Can anyone at least put up some pics of what they needed for the swap to make my and everyone else's easier.

Thanks,

Jason.

The black plate in the pic, sits behind cam gears.

I dunno about the VCT clearance on the 26 front cover.

I know 25's with the VCT have the bump in the cover to clear the mechanism.

I have a modified rb26 front cover that clears the vct actuator, $75 if you are interested. You dont actually need the rb26 backing plate, its very easy to modify the NEO one to suit, just need to trim the corners off the plate, and remove the vacuum pipe that runs across the back of it.

Any pics fo the said item? I am in Trinidad so I doubt purchasing it will be an option. If you want to keep it hush hush no problem but I get the idea of what you are implying as I was thinking to do the same. Only question though is that I will need to use an RB25 clear cover or will the RB26 clear cover or stock cover fit after the inner plate is trimmed? Any pics of the engine with it done to get an idea?

get an alloy dome from a alloy spinner (like the top of most surge tanks) then cut out the cover and weld on the dome - nice and neat, you'll just lose the RB26 writing which technically you dont need anyway.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
