Rb25/30De With Rb26 Itb's Best Fab Method? Not A Conversion Plate


Recommended Posts

Hey Crew,

I have an RB25/30DE Setup in a C210 skyline.

I have just bought a full RB26 manifold and have a spare RB25 manifold ready to chop up.

I also have the RB26 flange plates that we will weld to the RB25 cut down manifold.

My main question is.

has anyone just cut the RB25 and RB26 manifold put them together and welded them shut or are the runners too ofset to do that?

Im trying to minimise the overall length of the set up for clearance issues to the brake booster.

Thanks in Advance

Not interested in a conversion plate so please dont suggest it as an option. not a fan of the injector position once its been moved 20mm away from the head.

I can say with adapter plates and the greddy plenum on the 26 throttle bodies on a 25/30 will hit the clutch master cylinder and hit the lines exiting the brake master as well. So far 12mm packers under the sub frame has fixed the issue. However with a factory rb26 plenum it is fine with good clearance everywhere. In a r33 gtst engine bay. Possibly pointless info there, but in case any one wants to know. The adapter plates are 12mm thick each, so 24mm packed out from head.

Personally I would try and make the runners as long as possible for an NA car, especially when it has relatively small capacity....well compared to v8's, and lacks the bottom end torque to fill in the power curve down low.

Personally I would make a completely new flange/manifold to incorpoate the ITB's to suit the cylinder spacing.....it's not far off at all anyway. Is welding th ITB's to a flange an option?

    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
    • You can probably scrub the rust with a toothbrush or something. After you get the rust off flush well with water to neutralize and you will probably want to also use a fuel tank sealer to keep it from rusting again.
    • The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:
