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?

      Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...

      It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
