what do you guys think of cutting the standard plenum and running the throttle body from, the front it would reduce heaps of pipe work and make it more responsive and if done what vacume pipes could be disgarded

hahahah, you flew right off the rails with that one! You quite clearly missed my point, but you almost got there. Good try.

Don't be so defensive, this is a discussion forum, so discuss. Encourage conversation, don't put people down.

Try thinking about what people say, rather than interpreting things so black and white. What makes you so sure that the meaning you took from my statement was the one I intended?

Lastly, if what I was thinking was "stupid", I would not have thought it necessary to add it to the "discussion".

:D

now that's a stupid response!....there's money in everything..geez u might as well say why upgrade your turbo or why are they selling them..to make money duh!... lets just do research for the sake of it...hahahahhahaha.....ffs...

i have 1 tommie inlet cam (256) so thats good then.

i tink i will setal with a isp (arial) plenum they seam to be the pics of the group.

i think i could make good power with the standard manifold but i wanna make power with as litle boost/effort posible.

the less restriction the less boost so i mite go 1 of them

Im currently in the midst of doing a full GTR ITB Conversion to my RB25 including custom manifold (leaning towards a plazmaman plenum) will keep you posted on before and after results if you are interested.

I know they wont be specifically related to the plenum alone as the ITB's are bound to make some difference but at least it will give you some scope of a real world application.

Turbo = T67-25g - Currently pulls around 500rwhp

Ive had to use a CNC machined adaptor to make it fit correctly ($500 from japland) and switch my fuel rail and injectors for GTR Items to suit... will definitely keep you posted. SHould come up a treat once its done.

So its 10psi and not 8psi now eh?

Which version of the story are we to believe?

But you are in the US remember, the figures are somewhat "higher", your 50rwkw is around our 30, which then (going to 10psi/management) is whats expected

Have you ever done this same build up and tested it on the same exact dyno to get readings? I have.

I am not sure if you read my first post correctly or not, but I said that it was at 10 psig up to about 6K, then all the way to 7500, it fell to 8 psig. At 8 PSIG at 7500, it made 310rwhp, which is 235rwkw.

You are in America.

Its impossible to compare, especially 235rwkw from 8psi.

If you wanna do accurate testing, bring the car over here and you'll see your 235 fall to around 180-170

With 235rwkw you'd better be dipping WELL into the mid-12 sec brakcet.

Look forward to you strip results. But i suspect you wont get better than a mid-low 13.

      Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.

      No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
