still gunna have an uneven distribution... unless you pump a lot of air in there...

would love to get one, but wouldn't it be dangerous to your cylinders at the end? that get less air?

realistically, is there any danger?

yeah i was thinking the same. how do you know that it has been tested and each cyl gets the same flow ?

The thing is that if one cyl is leaning out all the time your going to pop it eventually.. I know of a car that had a brand new engine blow because of bad plenum design.. 7k down the drain.. If you plan on getting it tested yourself then it would be okay but get yourself a plasmaman for $100 more which has been tested and look great as well if you were going to go to that extreame.

I have a Stryder plenum which looks identical to that one suprisingly. Stryder are also located in bangkok.

Funny thing is i didnt think they were selling these any more but now different company makes them.

Experience with mine are all positive xcept for the warpped face flange, which meant i had to have it machined.

made an extra 15kw from this and a hks exhaust manifold. But power shifted from peak at 6400 to 7000 and curve is fatter .

Good quality welds and finish.

That's getting on the pricey side $875 delivered, for an unknown.

Wouldn't you want to pay just a tad extra and get the real thing? even 2nd hand?

How and where do you get these things flow tested byt the way?

And how much to do it?

Cheers :teehee:

i looked at these a while back, they look pretty good but iv been leaning more to getting one made and fitted to my stock runners.. if one is made up custom should i have to flow tested ?

You should have a look at the plazmaman ones that UAS have on their site (also mentioned earlier in the thread). They maintain the stock bottom runners.

keep the std one unless you want to go for big power

if you are always driving off boost i would get it flow tested cause you need to make sure each cylinder is getting equal amounts of air but once you start to make boost presure all the cylinders will get the same amount this has been talked about befor..

if you want somthing that is top qul then you need to spend the money

this is the one im using and all alot of people are now buying them they come form hypertune and i think they are the best on the market and they have dyno test to prove it

I didn't know hypertune made plenums for the rb25. I was under the impression they had ones for the rb26 only. Guess i will be checking that out at some point :blink:

hmm yeh but i mean 875 is still 400-500 in my pocket than 1300 if its been tested and im trying to find results here lol.... just the fact they say its been tested with even flow and looks shitloads better than the cheap cheap ones

this is the first 25 one hypertune have made i have seen the other ones they have made in use and seen the testing going into them so i got them to make me one it took about 3months so its not like they just slap somthing together they spend alot of time desinging them.

looks much better in design and workmanship then the other greddy copyies out there, plus it comes polished, where as the other ones are cast alloy

anywayz it looks good lol, but who knows if they perform good.....

would not worry about the air flow to cylinders... the way it is shaped looks good enough to me. tighter space at the rear than the front and as the air comes in it is forced to the back also.

Companies don't make these things without putting in serious thought and testing.

Usually this style of plenum as with a stock rb26 one causes more air to enter the rear cylinders. As for testing, i seriously doubt many companies do it properly, as the only way to do it is to put it onto a motor, and monitor the mixtures/ex temp of each cylinder at all different loads and rpm points. A flow bench wont replicate the real world, its like a dyno, only a comparative tool, as the flow bench cant replicate the pressure waves and so forth associated with running an internal combustion engine. In mt opinion the only way to make a perfect inlet manifold it would end up looking like an eshaust manifold with curved equal length runners which meet up at a common focal point facing the throttle body, and even then the throttle plate at lower angles would favour some cylinders. Some of the jap drift manifolds that use a remote throttle, with it piped to the centre of the tapered plenum look to be the closest that can be done.

Those Hypertune ones look good as , but my mate went there and got stuffed around for months , got lied to as well ( this is what he told me ) . He got a modded one done elsewhere with the neck out front , picked up 20 hp . Bet it flows the same as the hypertune one but for 1/5 th the price . Ill try and get a pick guys .

Ebay looks cool , but as they say looks good from far , but sometimes far from good . Greddy is cool to , but i think that it has the runners to short for street car . Laggy .

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
