Just completed fitting the rb26 inlet manifold to our rb20det

The process was simple

Took just over 1 weekend to complete

*Cut rb20det runners

*Cut flanges off of rb26 manifold

*Aluminum weld them

*Weld aluminum flange to mount throttle body to the front of the plenum

*Cut and re-position water inlet

*Use porting tool to grind all uneven levels in welded runners (allot of porting is needed)

*Install throttle body

*Install stock rb26 aac valve setup

*Install manifold

*install fuel system

*Run new vacuum lines

*Rerun new intercooler piping

*Relocate bov

....thats about it

People said that i would of lost power

but all we got was good results :P

*The boost is building quicker

*The acceleration is way better now

*The throttle response is really great

*Less intercooler piping (about 4 feet or so less)

and no need to weld a flange to mount the aac valve, we used the stock rb26aac valave setup

* i really cant complaim about anything its a really great upgrade*

more pics will be posted soon

Someone asked me what was my supporting mods

its as follows

*Stock rb20 motor

*300zx 45v3 t3 turbo

*10-12 psi boost

*TurboXS boost controller

*Blitz bov

*Blitz LM 3" intercooler

*2.5 intercooler piping

*3" free flow stainless exaust

*Gear box rebuilt

*Upgraded ecu ( flashed\remapped )

*Fidanza 4.3 ceramic clutch kit

*NGK iridium spark plugs

*Walbro external fuel pump

*Runnin on castrol syntec

It will never work. Opps it does damn it .

Ha ha I always wonder why people pull the rb26 intake off and go to a single throttle body

You have done it the oppisite way and made more power good on you.

Would have been great to see an in gear rolling start 40-60km/h, 40-80km/h, 40-100km/h times and a dyno. Did you get the ecu re-flashed? If not then can there really be that much of a difference if the things airflow characteristics didnt change enough to require a tune....or if it did....do you know what is different about the tune in the way fo fuelling and ignition?

Surprised its made such an obvious difference with the turbo and power you are running because there have been various posts with some positive and some negative...lol woudl love to get my head around the reasons :P

But good work on getting it all together and running to your satisfaction

one you drive yout car every day and you do an upgrade you will fill the difference be it good or bad

The placebo effect can be very strong when you have put a lot of time and effort into a mod though.

Dyno is hard evidence, shame would have loved to have seen a before and after

I'm curious to know how you got the IAC/AAC system to work considering the log sits on top of the RB26's inner manifold section and has two steel tubes decending between two of the runners and connectiong up to the AAC/IAC chamber .

How ever you got it to work - well done .

it was really easy

The 2 lines that run from the two steel tubes decending between the two RB26 runners to the AAC/IAC chamber are vacuum lines

so what i did was run the lines from the 2 metal hose fittings under the RB26 plenum to the AAC/IAC chamber

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
