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 .

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Yea, that is what I was getting at in my ramblings too. The nismo one actually is a 1.5 way and a 1 way. They don't do a *2* way because a true *2* way would have equal ramp angles. Or is that a true 1.5 way? Realistically I think a "1.5 way" does not actually exist. A diff can either lock in two directions or one. It also doesn't help that a LOT of people in Australia speak about 1.5 way diffs are referring to their 1 way diff.

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.
