Hey guys !! can anyone tell me if the RB26 exhaust manifolds will fit on a RB 25 head? other than cams, whats the difference ? Im looking at using the twin turbo manifold for my RB30/25. Cheers Guys Adrian

the exhaust manifolds will not fit on due to the studs on cylinders 3 and 5 being on opposing angles

well you could cut the flanges off, reweld them on the right way and machine them flat again but they will be prone to cracking

maybe the diaphragm on the actuator has a hole in it. try blowing compressed air (not too hard) into it and see if the rod moves
