Hi peeps,

Does anyone know where can I get this type of Manifold ? (to suit RB20)

thats a greddy flop to suit RB25, i hope they have fixed the coolant passage water injection from those copies now :D i have seen at least 5 hydro'd engines from them now.

but seriously hypertune and so forth do fabricated plenums for rb20 from memory.

Ebay Link 1 is what I have on the way. Best design I have found thus far. Uras, didnt Trust make an RB20 one yeons ago???

nah cause twentys are gay :D

haha kidding. is yours making noise yet? when we going for a test drive.

HRMMM strange, I vaguely remember seeing a picture of one on the R31 House site a while back (translation wasnt too good, but ah well)

Mine goes broom broom just after easter (I HOPE), Ill have to give u a ride, personally Im scared :rant:

im based in melbourne and got called out to a workshop (remain unamed) to investigate genuine greddy plenums (turned out to be copies) hydraulic locking engines...... it turned out that a whole batch of these copies landed in melbourne and the manufacturer had tapped thru the water passage into the intake runner.... nice work. just pressure test the water passge if your worried.

Unless its a pretty wild RB20 then dont bother. The std plenum seems to work really well for the sort of power you are going to get out of a 2L 6 cylinder. Spend all you rmoney on good quality bits, mainly turbo and a good tuner and you will get good results

Got this today....Its a KU Engineering one....Friggin top notch welding and design....Im stoaked...Should go nicley.

EDIT: Its really shiny too just my camera sucks the fat wang! (not that shine does anything for its performance) Also its fairly thick - the chamber, not just my old fella :happy: so it shant have problems leaning out a rear cylinder. But time will tell..

couldnt agree more with Roy, i make 366.3hp (on two diferent dynos one in shootout mode) and still have more room to play, only real benifit you'll get is shorter pipe work.. spend the money elsewhere

HEHE Luckliy the figures that I'm chasing are higher. I totally agree that on pretty much any RB20 its not necessary, but it does get rid of alotta pipes and hoo ha when you wanna get to something on the engine :happy:

OH, and if youve spent the money everywhere else and am stubborn like me and wanna stay RB20 then go for eeeeeettttt

What power are you chasing from the RB20? It will be interesting to see what power it makes with the plenum. Be great if someone could do a before and after with the plenum...i would except i just experimented with my engine at some expense only to put it back to the way it was so im shy about trialling anything for the time being

I'll want to do the b4 and after thing with my rb20 after its all run in and going properly with the plazma man plenum just to see if there are any gains,but thats a while off just yet

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
