This is what the one from APC looks like.

The difference is that this looks like it is meant to be there and it is apparently identical to the GREDDY manifold but takes the standard injectors (not standard throttle body).

That APC one is looks no different to a Greddy Plenum!

I'd say it is a greddy plenum!

call them

http://www.apc-racing.com/

this one is cheaper (around $700) than the greddy (around $1100) and i am told that the greddy wont take the standard injectors because of where the fuel feed is where this one will.

All i want to know is if someone has used one of them, if they have had any problems and if they have had good results.

hi guys could you help me out i'm stuck over here in the uk freezing my arse off i've been following this thread with interest as we don't have anyone in the uk that does manifolds could someone post links up to the manufactures website cheers guys

yeah i run the plazmaman plenum on my rb25. It seems to work well, with very very quick throttle response and no lag.

I don't think i have quite that power that the other one on the dyno has..

But i've only got cooler', pod, and cat-back. :blink:

That looks exactly the same as the GREDDY as you said, can anyone confirm that it is THE SAME plenum without the name logo and the expensive price tag?

I have seen it, it isnt a GREDDY and it is not that expensive but i want to know performance.

I was told by APC several customer cars ran this plenum. I guess they could be VL's but i was hoping for a couple SAU members.

Are you sire you cant use a std fuel rail with the Greddy? I know of one that uses a std GTR rail, adn he is only using that so he can use the injectors, so if the GTR rail fits the std manifold and the Greddy, then i say the Greddy would have no problem with the std RB25DET fuel rail

Bont Blitz make an apaptor these days so the RB25 can run a complete RB26 inlet and throttle bodies...much better option in my eyes considering the price that the std GTR goes for

Yeah they do, but it costs about the same (1000+) as the greddy manifold

The GREDDY rb25 plenum still uses the standard fuel rail.  Fitted on mine with no problems.

ahh, cool. Dunno where i got that from then.

These APC ones look pretty good for the price. If i wanted more than 300rwkw, then id consider to buy one :P

std injectors and rail fits these plenums

Which is what i said back here about std rail and injectors... we ran a std RB25DET rail on a mates car with GReddy plenum and i am running top feed RB26 injectors on mine, it just depends on which injector seat you use (there is a step down in the plenum to suit each injector)

    • I know why it happened and I’m embarrassed to say but I was testing the polarity of one of the led bulb to see which side was positive with a 12v battery and that’s when it decided to fry hoping I didn’t damage anything else
    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
