SORRY FOR LATE REPLYS

how do you get it nice and big and round? what did you use to shape the sheet? im assuming u started with aluminium sheet?
looking at it, it was a half tube for the round section

hammer and doly or english wheel for the other bends ..

please correct me if im wrong though

its a half tube with sheet metal welded onto it, its welded on both sides so that i could remove the welds on the outside with out the plenum leaking

Wow, nice man! lets see some number when you get them. Noticable gains or what? if you ever start selling them i would buy one off ya. good job

i do sell them

wat 180 :S ?

the rb has found a new home in the engine bay of a 180sx

ok so i was wondering about one of your plenums for my rb25/30 combo the main reason i want one is to solve the bonet clearance issues that the stock intake manifold has. ill be aiming for around 300rwkw and was just after a price and also was wondering does it use the stock throttle body and cable and also where does all the stuff like your acc valve (idle control) and the rest of that stuff go vacume hoses ect thanx in advance i will be looking at getting one in the near future so hope you can help.

Saw you post this link in a thread. Do you actually have any real world results from cars. I have a std RB20 which needs a little help making a bit more power. Dont want to lose any mid range torque though...and my fear is moving away from the long std runners will hurt me in the mid range? Any experience with different RB20 setups? Im running a TD06-20G making 260rwkws on 18-19psi

^^^ as above, lets see some before & after dyno sheets showing no loss of midrange.

Shaun @ Boostworx has even seen a RIPS plenum hold back peak power over the stocker - so after hearing that i need real world results before money is parted.

    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
    • It's TWO steering wheels actually. 😛 one for each hand They are wheels, and they steer!
