No it wouldn't work.

If you really want to spend some money, get a plazaman or hypertune RB20 plenum that sits on the factory RB20 runners.

The RB26 plenum conversion from the results I've seen on a mates RB25 was horribly expensive and not many gains.

Also dont forget to factor in the cost of making up new piping to the intercooler on the intake side.

Nismo or Plazmaman. Nismo if you like the old school cast styling or you can spend roughly the same and get a f**king awesome looking (and performing) polished stainless plenum and throttle body. I'm ordering my Plazmaman soon, looking forward to it immensley. 20% Power gain is usually typical. I've got 230rwkw with the stock plenum....go figure :thumbsup:

FYI an RB26DETT plenum is designed for an RB26DETT engine.

Spend your money on a bigger snail, cams and a good tune first

All the plenum is good for is making your engine bay look pretty

If you have all the other big power mods, an aftermarket plenum gives a good performance gain mate.

Have you not read all the posts saying that changing the plenum on a Rb20 is the same as setting fire to $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ you WILL lose 20% power not gain any.

You won't lose 20% power.. it should actually flow slightly better up top so there might be an increase in peak power. Will probably LOSE at least 20% torque down low though.

i would say no, unless its done correctly you will lean out some of the cylinders. It was designed to have the t/b in the centre and by moving it you change where/how the air flows.

Had a mate with a very high powered (at the time) r33 that tryed this and poped the motor.

If you want a cheapish forward facing plenum for an RB20 then just do what I did, cut an RB20 lower manifold up and weld a GTR plenum chamber to the runners.

It doesn't line up perfectly but the RB20 runners are bigger than the RB26 runners so after some heating/bending of the 1st and last runners on the RB20 side, a happy medium was found between the two sides.

He's also on the forums but I can't remember his username.

Good quality shit but I think they have a price to suit :/

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
