plenum looks cool ~~..I reckon if it's going to cost $600 get the Greddy ones, the Stock TB is not going to fit into the plenum unless you have them custom made....either get an adapter plate or change the TB.

If you do change the TB, the traction control will be removed. You notice that The Gtts have longer TB than normal...hence replacing the TB will require some custom pipe to be made to replace that length...

with the Greddy ones I think you'll need top feed injectors and fuel rails

but dont u HAVE a r34 GT-T????

why would u want another plenum for when u already got one of them on ur car

unless its a aftermarket front throttle body opening one that ur talking about

Yes, I want the after market one.

less piping and cooler induction.

the aftermarket plenums are forward facing , so you cut out all the cross over the engine part of the piping

but the stock plenum is good for lots of HP and flows very well , not really a worth it just to cut a foot and half of piping out

well actually for me it at less 3 foots.

the way I see it .....less volume=easier compression=less stress on the turbo..

=cooler air= better preformance.

3 foot is still nothing

your theory is correct but in practise there will be virtually no benefit

also lots of the aftermarket (cheaper) plenums are poorly designed , dont flow as well and tend to have uneven air distribution across all the cylinders casing some of them to run rich or lean

apart from the visual appearance no benefit has been covered many times in the forced induction section if you want to search

The stock plenum is better than a crap el'cheapo one.

However a well made unit is another story. The plazmaman plenums increase power over a stock plenum as a bolt on ($1,100 no crap required unlike the Greddy) not to mention the benifit from reduced piping volume, length and very restrictive bends.

The stock plenum might be good for 500hp. A good aftermarket one will get 500hp with less effort.

The cheapo units however are not worth bothering with. $1,100 for a good bolt on one is value.

i agree. the stock plenum is good for close to 500hp so unless your shooting for big numbers or have a space issue then i would put the dollars into something worth wild

are you sure? I think they'll only last to abt 350-400hp

and you can use the Greeddy r33 gtst ones to suit r34...I got them off Nengun for $1020

these units are direct bolt on as well...at least that's what I was told...haven't fit them yet

well over 350hp

350rwkw easy on the stock plenum , apart from the annoying cross over i/c piping its a a very good intake

to be honest, it hard to judge unless there someone actually done some experiment on it.

theory is all good and I do appreciate everyone opinions.

by the way had anyone read about it or had converted the standard 25det plenum or any cross over plenum to non cross over?

I, myself witness my mate did it to his Mk3 Supra but he also did few other mods as well so we couldn’t really judge if the cross over had makes any difference.

But I think I can work it out if we will pull all the paper works out and investigate. it that is if he still got all of the paper work.

there is lots and lots of evidence , pre and post dyno runs in the forced induction forum , search

its been pretty well gone over now , no flow increase for the aftermarket plenums at this power level

you can convert stock to fwd facing but you have the same problem with uneven air distribution

get the proper greddy one if you want to do it , not that expensive and they work properly . just no flow gain.

look good though

Honestly the fact that the plenum allows 350rwkw worth of air through it means very little. Air flow restrictions to an extent can be overcome by working the 'air pump' (engine) harder.

The good thing about the factory plenum is that it had long runners for better off boost performance and is pretty good at evenly distributing the air going into it at moderate power levels. It has a fairly low volume plenum chamber for suited to the airflow needs of the factory engine, helping with low end rpm response.

The bad things are that , the plenum chamber volume is a tad small for bigger power levels requiring bigger airflow and cylinder fill rates. It will be well down on power compared to a good aftermarket unit with the same equipment. At 500hp I'd say there would be a significant difference indeed. It faces in such a direction as to cause restriction and dull response when coupled to a FMIC (not an issue with the factory side mount though).

As for modification of the factory plenum, Grandenko did this to his RB25det and reported no ill effects and increased response. As to whether the cylinders fill evenly I'd say there may be an issue as the stock plenum isn't tapered to suit the front feed airflow bias to the rear cylinders.

    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
