I'm in the process of buying a Greddy knock-off plenum and there doesn't appear to be any place for Aac Valve could someone inform me to how they dealt with this issue. My idea is to perhaps make a flange and weld it onto the cooler pipe before the throttle body.

Another idea is to run without it, as to my understanding all it does is control the idle at start up when other inputs are actively draining power from the system.

Hey Brett, The knock off does have the fitting for the standard AAC valve.

Doesn't really matter if it has provision for one or not they are easily added.

I have a GReddy knock off on my SR20 and I have recently welded up the spot the AAC mounts on. (I just thought it distrurbed the air flow too much) all you need to do to add one is put a barbed fitting into the manifold and you can run that whole AAC from a remote location.

not really

How so? Why will an engine with management system designed to have an AAC regulate air flow under closed throttle idle properly without that device fitted? Is it commonly eliminated, and why do the factory engineers deem it necessary?

Not looking for a debate, just some info to increase my knowledge and understanding.

On my home PC i have a pic of the insides of a Genium Greddy and the copy and you cant pick them apart.

That is a very bold statement!!

The casting is very cheap and nasty, both inside and out. I bought a knock-off and plan to "touch" it up b4 fitment.

The GReddy are WAAAAY better units

Im not argueing the Genuin item is the best, but for the price of the cast manifold and the debate over performance gains etc i am going to try the copy.

I have below some comparison pics. the first is the greddy genuin and the second the copy. Now they are not fair photos as the copy pic is a close up and the camera flash brings out the bumps.

The legit photo was taken from http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...howtopic=203859 just incase people think i dodged em lol

Once again from these pics id say the Greddy is smoother but if u look at the runners the cast ruffness is very similar. For the money the knock off is pretty good internally.

Just my extra 5c worth of bla bla :D

oh ok. I can't wait till my design is finished. I am making my own, running it in cad and then Phoenix to get optimum design. JUST NEED MORE TIME

I really doubt you could design something better than that is essentially a GReddy plenum, even if you were a graduated Engineering student.

tmc 2: I totally agree with you. A little cleaning up, a bit of sanding on the out surface and possibly a Powder Coat and all will look sweet.

For the price, i too purchased the copy, but the GReddy unit is undeniably better quality: Even in the pics, and pics tend to hide some things. :D

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂

      Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
