Rb20 With Rb26 Intake *aac Valve Setup Help Needed*


Recommended Posts

hi

im in the process of fabricating an rb26 intake manifold to work on my rb20

in not using the 6 throttle setup, im welding the Rb26 manifold to the rb20 cut runners

and using single throttle up front.

My only problem is that i need to know how to set up the AAC valve?

any info will be very good thanks

My fabricator knocked up a flange to suit the AAC valve and welded it to the underside of the plenum then drilled a suitably sized hole in the middle. Just make sure it's oriented towards the throttle body as you will have to plumb a pipe from pre-t/b.

ok explain the last part for me please?

Well the AAC controls idle by bypassing the throttle body, so the pipe that goes from cooler to throttlebody needs a small pipe welded to it just BEFORE the throttlebody, then connect this with a hose to the AAC. If you don't have the AAC pointing to the front it will be a bitch to plumb it up :(

this looks like a fine idea! ive been thinking about wether to use the itb's or not, i think going this way will be far easier. could you guys post up some pics when your done? and any other tips?

cheers, Rowdy.

ive done a similar thing, but using all rb26 stuff (bar I.T.B's). im guessing the end i have outlined will now have to plumb in before the single throttle body.

seeing as it use to be on plenum side of the individual tb's and the other end connects to the vacuum chamber>vacuum bar on the head side of the old throttle bodies.

sorry this might be a little obvious, but the AAC valve attatches to that piece with the 4 studs coming out correct?

What is that piece if so?

    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
