Fitting "vulture Motorsports" Intake Manifold Rb20det

They don't "do" anything. If that's what you're asking.

Depends on what you are trying to achieve.

Over 6,000-6,400 rpm where RB20s often start to nose over in power provided you have a happy turbo that makes power (ie not a std turbo and something bigger than a GT2860/HKS 2530 then it will hold power and make more power up top. Trade off is it will cost you some mid range torque and at 4,000-5,500rpm you could find yourself losing 15-20rwkws....

Below is not a single other thing changed other then plenum and associated inlet pipe changes....all on 98

In my case I made something like 15-20rwkws less at 4,000. But at redline/around 7,500rpm 30-35rwkws more on a psi less boost.

So since my car is what I would call a track-street car I often am reving the ass out of it so whilst I rathered I didnt lose all that power on the left hand side of the cruve....when I went E85 it did allow me to exploit the extra boost and revs to make considerably more power up top over 6,500rpm

Odd are on E85 with std inlet it would have nosed over a lot more on E85. Not saying its a great mod...but certainly does change things.

All in all I would run the std manifold and wouldnt bother with the Plazmaman inlet. Though some have had better luck than me with regards to response

That said, If I ran my old Greddy exhaust manifold instead of the 6boost I reckon the setup would have been pretty wicked as would have been the right combination of mid and top. I lost more mid going to 6boost from Greddy manifold than I did from std inlet to Plazmaman plenum which is what the Vulture manifold looks to be a chinese rip-off

    • Euros are shitboxes man. My next car going to be a Lexus or Hyundai.
    • Maybe I used the wrong sandwich plate as well. Used one piece instead of two piece.  
    • Y'know what, after reading a topic on a 360kw build using a nistune (who ended up going LINK), im now considering a LINK over a nistune. The engine protection alone would probably be worth it. And id like to learn to tune so would be nice to have that safe guard. Which means i probably wont need a boost controller then, or the R35 MAF.  Becoming a bit of a blog now but oh wells. As mentioned previously, the goal is around 300kw, for a daily driver. Will be looking at fitting a highflow turbo or similar (something that doesnt require downpipes, manifolds etc to be changed out) when the current stock gives out or the money for it is there. 
    • Thanks guys. Are you meant to tighten the converter bolts through the starter motor hole? Think my plate between gearbox and engine is one piece. Im heading up there tomorrow.
    • Picked my tailshaft up yesterday arv!! Test fit it and because they've gone to a ford centre bearing and CV I had to modify the mounting bracket a little bit. 5mm of each side and she went up into position and fits well. It has a 1350 uni and flange on the gearbox end so it should be plenty strong!  Got stuck in this morning and started on the wiring mess. Cut out all the wires not required that go to the body connector and cut the engine harness out. Need to go through and work out which ones I need to keep and rewire into the new ecu. Should save a small amount of weight as well. I'd love to get in and rip the dash and everything out to completely remove wiring but cbf.  Next up was the power harness for alternator, starter etc. It has a few connectors from factory that run out of it. Cut it all apart and removed what was no longer required and put some new corro and taped it all back up and bolted it all back into place.  After that I worked out where I can mount the new flex sensor. Found a couple of factory bolt holes and drilled a new hole on the bracket to suit. Need to go get a few fittings and adapters tomorrow so I can keep going.
