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...

    • If we're going after market gauges, I'm a big fan of Australian made... Get some RedArc!
    • Unless you're fortunate enough to buy a newer car, getting an older style plate to match your name/car is difficult because they've already been purchased.  Unlike other countries, personalised plates are locked to the country and not region, so there can't be multiple versions of the same plate but with a different area code.  Hope that helps
    • People use the numbers to make it look like letters to spell words/names, which is where the illegal spacing comes in. For example this GR Yaris  
    • Today's rock removal from my stock pile out the back into a 4m³ skip bin, I still have a bit to go, hopefully there's enough room in the skip bin, it will be close My daughter and her boy was coming on Sunday to help, but, I got possessed by demons and started work as soon as the bin arrived at 1230 today Lots and lots of barrow loads were achieved  Currently I'm sitting on the lounge drinking beer thinking of how I should have waited till Sunday for some help, tomorrow will be a day off, in saying this, my day off will involve prep and paint of my alloy coolant and PS tanks with wrinkle paint (Jackie is in Sydney till Sunday so the home oven will get a run curing the paint....LOL)
    • That's why I said it is a meaningless term. Because there is more than one meaning that people can apply to it. When we said "highflow", that is exactly what we mean, and exactly what is done. In a highflow, they take your housing and machine them out to take bigger wheels, have a better internal profile, etc etc, and fit a new core with the different/better/bigger wheels.
