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

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!

      You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
