More individual tests and a couple professional tests will and would be good, as it broadens the range of tests done i say, but will clearly watch this page closely

maybe they should like alot BIN Numbers to them like penfolds red wines :D how many bins it took to get the perfect one. But aggreed, its trial and error to which batch you get/got

Yep we can compare it exactly to wine :)

ok as you know i recived my plenum a while ago got around to doin some work to it i have pics of before and after i will post up soon

well the casting was pretty average on the inlet ports they were a fair bit smaller in some cases which i can live with cause i had all intesion of match porting it anyways

i die grinded eveything came up a treat also clease up the water holes

i also cleaned up the inlet the inside was all pretty good wat you would expect form any plenum pretty much the same as my standard one

i then preped the top half of the plenum and grinded away the part where the greddy is normaly stamped

i then have sprayed it with this spray on bog stuff which give it a nice smooth fininsh only problem was i only done the top half not the bottom so that started to flake off cause of the crap dodgy silver paint that its painted in so im suggesting that you should get it diped n cleaned before any painting is done

i dont see how it will brake as it is structual solid no weakness

i can see improvment in air flow by a big diffrence but tune will only tell

all this was done in the matter of say 12 hrs (and i dont work fast lol)

pics will be up as soon as i can get them up

Thanks from the update, keep us posted :)

Just a suggestion.

I would not use any bog type spray on the plenum, as the aluminium expands and contracts as it heats and cools, which may result in cracks appearing in the bog, or the bog flaking off.

My mate had his genuine GReddy plenum powder coated, b4 install, and within a month crack were seen. The powder coater i/we use does awesome work and no cracks/faults on any other engine parts. My standard plenum is also p/c'ed and cracks can also be seen.

yer have progressed alot in fact is it finished but my camera died i have painted it gloss black to keep it well sort of stelth iov moved away from the polished look ill try n get pics up asap

i will put up my dyno result as soon as i can to might get it flow tested will its off

i spose you can i dont know much about the 32's im guessing the ports would be smaller but being a stock standard car i would not bother my standard manifold supported up to 280rwkw try and find one already done for a rb20

HAHA i hope these are the ones hydro'ing engines as the water port was taped into the intake runner..... if nto all good, i prefer the finish of the genuine ones but hey who am i to judge if it works. :P

    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
