No. Not really as it only the top half that has been change. Simply the volume.

The runners are exactly the same, only this is better as it can now get more flow due to the pure size and 80mm throttle body. And this was built by someone who knows the ins and outs.

Size doesn't mean better flow, by someone who knows do you mean someone with an engineering degree? Theres a lot of maths in designing runners and a plenum to suit.

id like to say to say its good to finally see someone put this to the tests and see actual results not "my auntys dogs cousins sister said that her friends sisters boyfreind tried this and it was crap or......it made 1 million kw on 2psi with this being the only upgrade" lol. will be following your results goodluck

lol :teehee: ^^

everyone seems to be against "test and trail" of these plenums

i say give it a go, i have one off these and im goin to post up pics

paul r33 you say "its such an integral part, it would be like using fake chinese injectors

do you really want to risk it ?" yet paul is goin to modify a ecu the main brains of any rb and noone is against him..

i say keep up yet the test of the plenum lets see results and if it brakes and blows the motor than we knwo not to use them ...

At this stage im going to have to say I think im out of testing at the moment as i cannot locate a flow bench for starters, plus with cams on the way and isl33ps' plenum looking so tempting for something that has been tested flow benched and is much closer even between cyls and flows a fair amount of air for the right price, I dont know if i can resist in not accepting that, so at this stage i have to say "its a nay" How bout you teazn did you end up testing it???

i have not tested it but i have finished it very strong very smooth f**k the test ill compair it to my last dyno run willi have a flow bench here but mine is on the car cbf taking it off where you located ? can get it done if you want

I have a Greddy Copy eBay special.

Checked out the inside and it all looks very simetrical, only rough bit was ONE of the ports (but anyone who is holding the manifold in their hands and doesnt port match it should be shot).

Exterior was rough (but the original greddy's arent too smooth either) but nothing some time and patience couldnt fix. If your buying this for bling factor your a bloody idiot (i purchased it as im sick of having unnecesary pipework everywhere in my already limited space... RB25DET in a S13)

Fitted.... No leaks... works fine....

You dont always "get what you pay for", you also ALOT of the time pay for the brand name.

Some one flow test these thing DOOOO ITTTT!!!!

I'm really keen to see the results, i'm planning to use one on my rb when i turbo it, mainly for the piping route.

If this is just a direct mould of the real greddy item with some rough edges, with a bit of cleaning up theres no reason why it shouldnt be just as good as the "real thing". If the greddy manifold has such a good rep without the velocity stacks, then i cant see a reason why a copy with a bit of time spent on it cant flow just as evenly.

There is no point flow testing it, each one of these manifolds i have seen are different in one way or another, clean it up and it will be fine, internals were all good.

I'm rehashing this thread.

HOW/WHERE on earth do you plumb the AAC valve into ?

Yes, I know it bolts to the bottom of the plenum, but the black hose, that normally runs to the I/C pipe just before the throttle body - where does that go? Is everyone making up custom ones? Or just putting a breather on it?

Anyone have any REAL pics of the full plenum install?

you need to hook up a line to the IC piping before the TB so as to allow measured air into the system.

The Copy inlets do need to use the R33 AAC, but it's not as easy as just bolting it in.

RE Customs has done A JUN copy plenum suited to an R33 GTS-T and it works, but I'm not sure of the ins and outs of it.

Maybe you need to call Ray....

    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work. 
    • Potentially some interesting data for some of you here; Hank Iroz from Iroz Motorsport testing a new Xona Rotor 5964S on a Audi RS3 2.5L DAZA motor. https://facebook.com/share/p/14EU18MyDqZ/ Cliff Notes: Turbo has the new Xona XRE compressor aero with an X4C compressor cover, reportedly 0.64 rear housing. 900whp (670kw) @ 37psi, 170k shaft speed, motor is making 2bar (29psi) boost by roughly 3800rpm, 500lbft (670nm) torque by 3500rpm. They overlaid a stock RS3 on USA 91 fuel (red), and a "Stage 2" RS3 on E85 (yellow), and this 5964S (blue) - the 5964S isn't losing any ground to either. Apparently out-flowing their prior tests with a Xona 8264S (green), and this 5964S (white) also has a smaller A/R than that did.
