Hi there ppl i have brought a ku engineering inlet manifold for my skyline it has the rb20det in which is currently running 402bhp and 375lftb, i brought the manifold to reduce lag and increase performance.

I will be fitting it this weekend and i have come into a tough spot already.

I have checked where all the vacum pipes go looks easy enough and where all the water pipes link up shouldnt be to bad, but what do i do with the aac valve (controls somesort of airflow i thnk) on the back end of the manifold as there is no place for the unit on the ku engineering one ???

Please help if anyone has fitted one or has a how to fit the manifold guide it will be greatly appreciated

Thankyou :D

make sure you check the mounting flange with a straight edge as they crack when bolted up.... i have one here in the shop now if you need any pics...

That would be great help im really confused as how to plumb the aac valve in after or even if it has to be, i read that it affects tick over too

Pics would be really helpful of the build i have found a write up of the rb25det one but obviously they are quite different to rb20det

make a plate to bolt to the side of the AAC unit that usually bolts to the manifold

then connect the line that goes 'in' the AAC unit as usual, connect one end of a hose to the new plate and connect the other end of the hose to a nipple on the manifold.

thats how i did mine (im not using the same manifold, just had a similar problem)

      G30-770. So long as you're talking engine horsepower, and not some bullshit wheel/axle/mystery horsepower.

      It's a lottery, no one is going to be able to predict how much HP YOUR engine is going to handle as history has a huge part to play.    As examples though. I have one rb26 on 630rwhp, running 16 years now at that level, track use, only a couple of times a year.  Another 790rwhp, about 2 years now, driven every weekend.    If i was to give you a "safe" number I would say 450rwhp on 98 and 550-600 on e85.  Seen plenty of motors pop with less though too

      Fair play on the 120k, sorry just live in nanny Aus.  High rpm on cruise would kill me too.    On the gears, its not just first, so beside the fact I really enjoy that nice punch you get when you accel in first. 2nd is all messed up in the gearsets too. Most people I know with gearsets(even sequentials) have to drop into 1st for tarmac rally slower corners as second gear is too low in rpm, its painful. Translate to the street, I am using a 2.3 gear out of a low speed turn, gearset you got a 1.7 second. I can tell you now between my two cars which one is a LOT more fun.    On a track its a different story, once the car is moving the gearset ratios are supreme, 1st gets you going on a big rpm launch, then 2nd is no issue for the corner speed on most tracks.    Yer the price sucks  , old enough to remember these selling for $1500usd here in Aus.

      Will mainly be steering the car as tracking it in China would reduce its value a lot and mines a near mint condition v spec 2. Just weighing out the options for the next improvement. Thanks

      Thanks for the info. With the 2.8L stroker kit what would be the best single turbo setup for around 700-750 drivable horsepower? As I think after that it’s going to be very aggressive power delivery.
