Rb26 plenumn

Rb26 ITB's

Adapter plate to suit Rb25 head.

Figured i may as well try set this up and see how it goes.

now i havnt recieved it yet but from what ive been reading i can either run off a MAP or TPS sensor, obvious things like tuneable ecu for such and other things like getting vacuum for booster, FRP ect.

From what ive read people either get a vacuum pump or simply set up a vacuum manifold and run a line off each throttle boddie to the chamber then one to booster, frp and whatever else needs it?

Can anyone shed some light onto the situation or put their feedback into this?

Cheers matt.

You're right, there is f all info out there on them. Didn't stop us from building a setup though.

I've been running ITB's on my rallycar for a few years now and they work a treat. http://www.skylinesdownunder.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52581&page=14

Mine are 4AGE Toyota ones off a 20 Valve, mounted on an adaptor plate and the original intake runners. Cam, head, pistion work etc has leat to a fairly angry little N/A RB20DE. Has taken a few years of tuning and trying things as no one in NZ had done one like this, so it was a bit hit and miss originally.

Mine runs open trumpets with individual filters, so all tuning is done from the TPS, which works fine now.

As far as the brake booster goes I had the same issue with lack of vacuum, made worse by the cams I run. I run a Wilwood dual cylinder pedal box for brake bias, which also means I can run with no booster and it is a good leg work out.

Good luck with the build, even if it does't go faster it will sound fantastic!

will do zebra cheers

awesome work screamin!, sounds pretty throaty. although seems the induction goes away higher in the revs?

Dont have that sort of money for such a brake set up haha, but mine wont be as crazya s what you have done, as you said, im not chasing power, more sound and something different.

What sort of ecu are you running?

Also mine arrived today :D, look pretty good, going to be a fun job.

hey im also interested in something like this for my 25/30.... best option seems to be buying an adapter plate (rips quoted me $500) and using the rb26 bits.... i need a tune anyway so this seems like the best option... if anyone has a setup or something give me the ballpark figure in what im expected to spend ! haha

Took about three years of tuning and racing before we got it really humming. Unlike more conventional RB setups (read turbo) there are no preset maps to start with for the ECU. Stpe one was to make it start, step two idle and so on... For the last five years I've been running this setup I have had the trumpets open with individual filter socks. A real pain having to clean them all the time because of the gravel dust, but clean filters makes a big difference to the power output.

I am planning on getting an airbox built, but am too busy racing it to pull the intake off and make something up, plus it's going alright atm, so no point fixing it...

    • Just an FYI.. I installed a ECU Masters det3 piggback. For the next few years car will remain N/A but it has inbuillt 4Bar map sensor , boost control etc if we wanted to use it for turbo conversion when the time comes. Though the plan is to do a manual conversion and go to a link ecu when that time comes.
    • Do a degree in mechanical engineering specializing in combustion systems and materials. Learn how to actually wrench on things that don't require 70k+ USD buy-in while you're at it. You also want to learn to weld and machine. If you still want to do this then you'll nominally have the knowledge to actually do what you're thinking of doing. Whether you still want to do any of that once you've actually gone through that process is anybody's guess. Personally I cannot imagine anything more frustrating than trying to package a supercharger under the hood of any of these cars when the turbos are already fighting for every last inch.
    • That's a function of the fuel pressure reg, not the pump. The pump can do more, needs to be able to do more. The reg keeps the pressure in the rail constant above whatever the manifold pressure is.
    • You need enough post count to have PMs enabled. It will come. They are not the same. The NA box is the skinny little box and the turbo box is the big heavy one, and the yokes are not interchangeable.
    • So, you're not talking about rebuilding the dampers, just putting new tops on them? You just need new tops and a spanner.
