Hi peeps,

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

Cheers

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.

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

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
