What other plenums besides Greddy/Trust?

[T0nyGTSt]

I've been thinking about the above. Any other brands besides the above? Not that I don't like it - it does look hot but it seems strange there seems to be only one?

Or am I missing a plenum by some other manufacturer?

I think Jun make them, then there are the local ones like Sub-zero and Hills Motorsport (??)

power porting standard plenums can give substantial gains...i believe for the cost this is the best compromise. outright power is only of use on a the track, drag or circuit. street requires a compromise. go book a sesh at the flow bench...it's there the results can be seen.

[T0nyGTSt]

Yeah call me a brand **** but I'm shying away from any locally made plenum... there's a certain brand I'd rather 'Trust' even if the price is slightly higher...

Yer, but don't forget the advantage of drawing the air through about 1m less of piping by taking it directly from the front of the plenum. Always makes more sense to me.

I got like PLENUM====

I have the Greddy plenum, and I like it, but there not cheap. I prefer the intercooler pipework now, like a GTR, as it seems the much more sensible appraoch.

Hey dude,

Would you mind taking a pic of your engine bay?

[GTS-t VSPEC]

I have one, but it's at my other work, I'll post it tommorow:D

It's weird because all the TOMEI crate motors use the factory style plenum.

[T0nyGTSt]

There's no real problem with the factory plenum except that it looks awful and there's a reasonable amount of heat soak.

Again I point you to Mines - they had a 33 with heaps of power using stock box, stock plenum.

I'm doing this more for looks.

Would you get a trust plenum surely there's a better brand then trust you could use Tony

I am humour impaired

So anything thats made by Trust with moving parts isn't good?

[ed]

you can use factory TB on them

[BU5TER]

Yep but damn it you have to get a TRUST adapter plate to make it fit

[GTS-t VSPEC]

The Infinity trottle body fits the Greddy plenum, or you can make an adapter plate for the stock one, it's quite easy:D

[BU5TER]

yep I've got a greddy adapter on my greddy plenum it looks quiet simple

[GTS-t VSPEC]

I know have a custom made 90mm throttle body, works well but the idle is a bit higher.

Trust/Greddy/Grex/ same shit... there is no OR involved...

I think trust have a big market outside Japan, it seems in japan other companies seem to try get away with flowing the std pleneum. And prob would be worth them making something as pretty as the Trust/Greddy one? Americas market is more along the lines of Buying off the shelf products where i think Trust makes most of its money and what they base there cars and records on...off the shelf products. If you want something which works without the look, im sure you know where to go.
