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

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

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Yea that's a fair assumption. I'm presuming they call them solid lifters as they have no moving parts like hydro lifters.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I believe you're confusing WMI with water injection. Looking at that graph, the 93aki+WMI car is making more power than C16 race gas. Boost juice, which is what I also run, is Snow Performances 50/50 premix.

      GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.

      Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣

      I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
