How is the rb26 plenum going onto the rb25 head? Pretty sure they aren't compatible without a shite tonne of modifications.

Also, you should have put this in the build section!

power tune do a manifold adapter kit that I will be using

how so mate

The water galleries are offset from one another so the plates need to mismatch to create an angle. You cannot use a gasket in between the two halves as it will block the outer one

They may be ok but from personal experience they are a complete f**k around to seal properly. Most people just use a tonne of silicon but that can block the water gallery and present its own problems

They may have changed the design since I saw the last one though so put up some pics once you get it

how much f#cking around Is gettin VCT to work on a RB26 head

For me.....none at all.

I'm not suggesting you go RB26 head but there are no gains by going RB26 plenum and throttles. In fact, your tuner is going to have an extremely hard time making it run nicely. You have essentially lengthened the intake runner by another inch or more which creates all kinds of problems with air bouncing back from the valve head and transient throttle at lower revs.

You are definitely better off with a Greddy or similar.

It's about $2500 with the head off.

No we designed our own custom camshafts. It's also important to consider valve clearance so not something I would recommend attempting at home

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
