like this?? i bought these awhile ago and are still getting things together before i install, but it is the bottom intake cut with adapter plates welding to the ends that mate upto the 6 throttle bodies. it also uses the standard fuel rail and injectors as well.

Thanks

Curt

I did something similiar NEO head with rb26 throttles heres a pic, sorry the engine bay looks a complete mess ...will be fixing that as soon as i get a few other things sorted out

And this is whats going on it :D ...What do you guys think of the GT3071r with .64 rear housing? would it be too small?

Did u just cut the inlet RB25neo inlet manifold and weld RB26 tbs to it

Not sure if Im understanding you correctly mate but I chopped off the runners of the stock 25 plenum and welded up some flanges to accepts the 26 throttles. After that its all a bolt on affair, well relatively, still had to figure out the tps and aac valve and all that. Runs great tho, nistune on the way from australia and I should have some good numbers to post up soon.

Seems a lot simpler than what the OP had to do!

Not to offend the op but yeah this was the only way I considered it feasable, welding the head and all seemed a little dodgy to me, and plus I dont have a tig welder handy. :unsure:

If I had to do it again I would have the flanges laser cut and tapped with threads, we attempted to tap them ourselves but I dont know if we just suck at it or our tap set is old, we couldnt get them tapped correctly to accepts the studs. We ended up getting oversized studs and using nuts on both ends to tighten everything down. Another point to make is that the RB25 plenum doesnt leave the head straight out, most of those runners we had to cut all the way down to the flange and weld our own pipe to it. Was fairly tricky and time consuming to match up all the runners so that they left the head straight out and met the flanges correctly.

cheers I've very keen on doin this to my RB25/30

    • Actually, that's not entirely true. It's also the same motor in the 1st gen Nissan Cube but they're rare as hen's teeth.  
    • Yeah it is always worth testing and balancing actuators out of the box, just set the pressure regulator on a compressor very low (eg 5 psi) and increase it slowly to see when they both move.....unfortunately while you may be able to adjust the length of the actuator rod to minimise any difference, the actual pressure they move from is not adjustable so you need a well matched pair. And yes, the VCAM is probably contributing; the earlier in the rev range they come on boost and the slower the revs build (I think your demo was in 5th), the more you notice it.  Driving at WOT through 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc you will probably never hear it as any shuffling starts and is over super quickly
    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
