Hey there,

I fitted a greddy plenum to WHITER33's car, the plenum was a little tricky to fit. I didnt end up fitting the auxilliary air control valve, left it off because his car runs a haltech ecu, was able to use the stepper motor for cold start idle up. On the stepper motor it has 2 hose inlets, one runs to the AAC valve, the other to a position infront of the throttle butterfly in the cooler pipe. I simply ran a hose between the stepper motor and the cooler pipe and blocked off the other end of the stepper motor. We ended up fitting an 85mm hypertune billet throttle body. As for coolant hoses etc, i blocked off the 2 small hoses running to the factory throttle body. The top radiator hose fits, just gotta turn it upsidedown or flip it over, you'll work it out. You will also need lengthen you wiring to the stepper motor. The job wasnt that bad to do, but you will appreciate it more once finished. Makes things alot easier.

They only ran hoses to the stock throttle bodies to prevent the butterfly sticking open in very cold conditions, wouldnt bother with the hassle of running them. Then again i wouldnt bother with the stock one after seeing the difference a decent one can make.

Don't suppose you took step by step photo's.. I see tons of threads talking about installing these plenums but no one with a really good step by step.. I sure would love to see an install FAQ with step by step pics.

BTW thanks fo explaining that i don't need the AAC.. I've been trying to figure out where I'm supposed to mount it or if i needed to buy a different type.

Thanks

Sorry to hijack, but I see you took your cam gear cover off, I've thought about taking mine off, but was under the impression that the sensor on the passanger side gear was something important that I shouldn't touch, and would need to be re-aligned properly. Could you clarify if perhaps this is easier to do then I assumed? :blink:

I just put a little mark on the CAS and where it bolts onto so i could line it back up again. Easy.

WHITER33, Are you keeping the weapon and going with the big stalled auto and NOS?? Come on 10z!! Happy boosting!

Yeah will be keeping this for a little longer now as with the power its making its awesome fun to drive but the 18s dont like the way in comes on boost...

Im looking at a direct port NOS kit at the moment and want to get that installed and setup before i get the auto so i can work out what stally i need. A 3lt bottom end is also still on the cards or i could stroke the 2.5

i didn't take step by step photo's either, but am willing to help others fit their plenums. it does start to get a bit tight under the plenum but im so much happier with the overall looks and performance of the engine bay. i can sorce these plenums for around $350 including freight.

If these are those copy ones, are you cleaning out the insides of them? from reports form other members on here there is alot of slag on the inside of them that needs to be ground off (casting defects), other than that they are ok though i think.

      CD009 RB Conversion

      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
