Recommended Posts

if it ever happens is there a chance of RB26 plenums?

I wish I could get a RB26 to fit my RB25easily. The adapters are so hard to find!

Pics of the SR20 items are useless :mad:

I have seen a decent plenum casting for the sr20 and a very crappy version for the rb25; both from the same manufacturer :mellow: That is why i would prefer someone to inspect the sample first, otherwise i'll happily give it a miss.

well with or without group buy, I'm geting one for myself...besides its not as though I'm getting profit out of these things...if people are interested enough I can prolly get $20 cheaper? not much for the effort to organise shipping, etc etc....

if you want to give it a miss I wouldn't care less...

anyways I'll be ordering in so you ppls whoever interested enough can either order with me or wait for my plenum to arrive about 2-3weeks or so...then I'll post the picture..

however by that time I cannot guarantee that the plenums are not sold out, judging from high demands...anyways each to their own...

I'm going to autotechnica tommorow..so will post pics for SR20 plenum

this is the SR20 Plenum

I went to distributer, however I just realised that the package does not include any gaskets..I asked about it, and apparently autotechnica don't intend to make the gaskets...

anyways I dun think I'm getting one from them...I'll get the trust ones I guess

if you guys are still keen you can pm me...

I can get my hands on a front facing RB25 Plenum that will 100% fit an R33 and I can get it at the very good price.

If somebody is 100% committed to getting it, testing it and doing all the review on it, I can get one.

I need somebody who isn't going to get it and just sit it there for 6 weeks though.

I'll definately be interested after the testing is completed and the results are put up.

You might want to message Sydneykid - earlier in this thread he was interested in testig the original group buy plenum. Maybe he'll try this one?

Hey Pete,

I'm interested!! ;)

Can we talk at MAS, to discuss what tests, reports, etc are required?

Okay gents I have official pricing from somebody who has these items in stock in Japan.

He regularly supplies into Europe.

He has given me some pricing to work with....

5 off $359 + Freight in whatever option you like.

10 off $289 + Freight

Freight....

EMS Courier ca. 3-5 Days to the UK, Europe, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Middle East

Au $182

SAL Registed ca. 5-12 Days economy mail to the UK, Europe, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Middle East

Au $140

Super Economy See mail 4-8 weeks

Au $78

There is ONE at a special price on the condition that somebody gets the unit, runs up on the dyno before and after fitment and takes photos of the fitting etc.

You don't get nothing for nothing these days. You MUST be able to fit it immediately upon receiving and you would recieve the part in about a week from ordering.......

Al..... Can you fit immediatly?

- Does the plenum come with full gaskets, hoses, etc; just like the GReddy unit?

- My mechanic will probably not be able to fit it till early January, as he is pretty busy.

- Also if my car was to be the test/trial car, the plenum casting would have to be of a satisfactory standard, otherwise there is no way i'll spend money installing something i am not happy with. And this can't be decided till my mechanic and myself see the unit first hand.

- As they are coming from Japan, does this mean they are NOT a China copy?

at those prices, I'm very very interested. Someone hurry up and test the unit!

Hey Bassjunky - Check with sydneykid - he likes to test this sort of thing.

Whats the special price?

I am in the position to fit as I have taken mine off before, but like al said it needs to come with every thing included for fitment. Also 2 dyno runs aint free, and the second run would require some fine tuning of timming and maybe some fuel etc.

The time factor is no problem for me, but would rest on when I could book it onto the dyno.

Gents.

I don't know whether it comes with all the Gaskets and things just like the GReddy unit.

This is why we are testing it. Not just the performance but the supply as well.

We need someone who can fit right away. The tuning and fitting and all that is up to you. The special price is there to encourage somebody to purchase one, fit it and see how it goes.

Al. Lots of things that 'come from Japan' are actually made elsewhere, but as I understand it, these castings come from the same factory as the GReddy ones do.

As I have not seen one I am simply working as a go-between with the supplier who I have dealth with in the past.

If you are 100% serious to test, please PM me and we can arrange things.

Cheers

PS. The special price is UNBEATABLE

Even if you had to buy all new gaskets and nuts and bolts, it's still Uber Cheap!

I just recieved word that there are no gaskets included.

It is only the cast manifold.

We can take order immediately on the units but the test one can be immediate.

Anyone willing to take one for the team?

If you are all REALLY worried about the casting quality, we could easily have a them all extrude honed when they arrive. Would cost another hundred or so but there would be 0% worry about casting quality.

My car needs to be tuned anyway so I could be tempted to test a sample unit at the right price - I am also going to be fitting the T04E soon so I could do a 3 way test before, after and with a bigger turbo ... anyway give me a call on 0414 502 250 if you want to see what we can work out.

Thanks,

Craig.

besides the gasket, do they bolt straight on with all the fittings etc. Ie, is it just a case of removing the old plenum and placing this one on the runners directly?

And would I be able to use the existing gasket, I have never had to change it before when doing injectors etc...

Bass: You have a PM

That would be an excellent plan! If you could swap it back to the normal one after you fit the bigger turbo that'd be even better!

Bass, would the ones you're organising fit an R34 or R33 only?

I understand they are a bolt on item.

Yes, they don't come with gaskets, but I would just use my existing ones, unless they were shagged.

The ones I'm organising are specified for R33 only, nobody has tested on R34 so we aren't sure.

So I've got two people who are red hot.... I'll see if I can get two :rofl:

Just spoke to my mechanic.

He says the gasket should not be a problem as the factory metal gasket is reusable. He also claimed that apart from one mod, the copy plenium is just as hard/easy to fit as the geniune GReddy item.

The one modification refers to the fitting of the idle controll motor; the copy plenium he fitted for another customer has to be slightly modified, as the casting was not 100% and the idle controll motor didn't line up properly. Nothing a small grinding tool couldn't fix.

The R34 fuel rails have different mounting positions to the R33, so you may need to make special adaptor brackets to fit a 34 rail onto this plenium, unless it has various mounting holes to accomodate for each model.

  • 2 weeks later...

IS this going ahead?

Is somebody testing fitting one at all?

Before Christmas do you think? It would make a great christmas present for myself

Enquiry only, not hassling

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
