since when are RB ebay intercoolers 500? why get an sr kit when rb kits are the same price (about)

 

Find me an rb intercooler for under 500 bucks on there.

 

Bah. Just get a SR20 ebay kit and call it a day. Because of my intake mani it was a direct fit!!! Only had to cut it. Heres a couple pics.

theres a few more, they are just not up all the time. any rb intercooler will work that has the manifold going atop the valvetrain.

 

hey nizmo zilvia what kind of intake mani do you have?

 

Notice those were both atleast 450 bucks. I'm looking to spend under 300.

Also, I'm running the stock intake manifold that runs across the motor.

 

yeah i didnt look at the shipping. oh well. just look around dude.

 

what kind of intake manifold does nizmo zilvia have? and will the greddy spec m for the rb20 work with the stock intake mani?

 

His is a custom made, similar to a ca/sr/rb26 intake. It doesn't run across the top of the motor. RB20/RB25 have one that runs along the valve cover sideways.

 

Well I found a kit that was pretty cheap. I'm hoping it will work for me.

Yeah yeah, its a turbosx/ssac inercooler, but for how much it cost, it was worth it to have the piping already done.

180$ shipped.

I'll have to look at it. On my sidemount piping, there was a blitz bov on it, I'm not sure if the piping includes the elbow my blitz is on. I'd like to keep it.

 

Cool. I was weary of buying a cheap intercooler, but since alot of people run them with no problem, I think its going to be alright.

 

Yea my intake is custom and paid just about $900 with everything I needed. As for the intercooler + piping. Well... It gets the job done but I dont like having 6 couplers so Im going to do a 1 piece intercooler piping maybe this year or in the fall.

 

Well it works, but if you bump up the boost, im sure boost leaks will be more common. I'm glad that kit only has 4. 2 located on the tanks, 1 on the intake, and 1 connecting to the cold pipe.

 

Why even have a RB20 if your worried about costs? These aren't cheap engines to mod...

 

will the spec m work though with the stock intake manifold? i found the greddy spec m made for the rb20 on nengunperformance.com for about $320 and i was just wondering if it would work.

 

Try it out and let us know. :thumbsup We all take chances and work with what we got.

 

lol ok i will. im gonna run the stocker for a lil while and when i get the spec m i will let you guys know and probably post pics. so what exact manifold r u runnin and where could i get one?

 

his is a custom 1-off piece from what i'm reading in this thread. you can get something similar to that through from a company called R.I.P.S. in New Zealand. check em out: http://www.ripsltd.com/ not cheap by any means but they are definitely experts when it comes to rb motors. oh and dont forget to convert their prices from new zealand $ to american

 

Yea mine is a one piece and the quality is amazing although I should of done my first plan. Use RB26 intake mani. For my next build I'll probably do that since I love the OEM look. Yummy!

 

will the rb26 mani just bolt right up or is any modding needed?

 

No since each RB motor has their own intake flange. Same part is rb20/25 exhaust though. I believe you need to cut off the runners and weld on the rb20 runners. As for iacv i have no clue lol.

 

i believe theres some pretty heavy modification involved but it has been done. theres a thread with some pictures on like the second page of the rb section. just look for "custom rb25 coil cover" or something like that. there are some pictures in there of a guys rb20 with a modified coil cover (has vents cut in it to dissipate heat) and you'll see the 26 mani. I'm sure you could pm that guy to see what all he had to do, he seems pretty nice. He's actually gonna modify my coil cover for me

 

ok thanks. im doin sidemount as well for the person who started this thread and im gonna hold out on doin the front mount, if that helps at all but if you wanna go front mount go to nengunperformance.com, they have a greddy spec m made for the rb20 there for around 320 so thats a great deal as compared to the 450 u see those things goin on ebay for. just my little bit of input and thanks for the help with the intake mani, i will definitely go check that out

 

Speaking of front mounts...can you guys show me some of the brackets you've made to hold on the FMIC, I kind of need some ideas to get mine done.

 

It all depends on your front mount. If you have a piece in the middle use that and hook it up to your front latch. If you dont like mine then look up at my pic and see what I did. Just bend it and put it in place. As for the bottom find 2 bolts and use them as a place to bolt them up to. Not that hard but creative you must be haha.

 

I got my intercooler and its very nice quality, nicely finished pipes and silicone couplers and good clamps. It came with all the hardware, 4 couplers, intercooler, piping, vacuum line w/tee, and brackets.

Does anyone know why they included a vaccum line about 2 ft long and a tee? Is that for a bov, thats the only thing i can think of.
