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...

    • I'd be surprised if it's a problem. A highflow cat doesn't present a massive restriction. You'd have to be tuned on the ragged edge for there to be any likelihood of something going wrong.
    • Problem with putting them back on my ignition timing with the tune might get screwed up. What u think? 
    • Not sure I will have much paint left if I do that … I am going to do my mirrors shortly with some n45 primer from dr beasley then ceramic coat them. The rear has been ceramic coated already after the paint.    going to put the high flow back on but just need a tuner to help me and mine is out of town for the next two months or more.  Just worried about the ignition timing. 
    • Definitely needs ceramic coat and fresh wax every week. And cats. Running with no cats is a (unt act.
    • Welcome. Dont let anyone dissuade you from your dreams. If you want a gtr, keep sabing and you will eventually get one. I feel like if I had have bought stocks, those companies would have gone bust and I would have lost my money.  There's a gamble in everything we buy. I've had good times and bad. But... I've also met my absolute best friend through this network and can't imagine life without them(more like a brother). Keep in mind, some specific mods will change as technology gets better. If you feel like general chat, there's always the wasteland.....
