Plazmaman plenum the go for sure, they have had nothing but good news about them to date.

They have also been known to have the turbo spooling 400rpm quicker then a greddy. As tested on the gt35r turbo.

Also have the advantage of being a straight drop on the standard runners, and has the outlet for the iac.

Although they cost 1200 bucks, but all ya have to worry about is just amending ya intercooler pipes, and possibly throttle body selection.

The setup i am going for is similar style as the extreme exhaust manifold ( with a 45mm pro-gate turbosmart external wastegate) and a similiar style plenum to the plazmaman. The guy that is doing the work on my car for me, has currently worked on a 1000hp skyline, and is enough proof to me that his shit actually works.

But yeah extreme manifolds look awesome and i reckon plazmaman for the plenum. Would be awesome combination.

budget isnt an issue, so i was thinking of doing both manifolds at once.

does everyone agree the greddy is the best inlet plenum for the r33 gtst?

pics of my current setup..

you could cut a bit of piping out of the current if you wanted.

Just by looping much earlier and coming over the rockers by getting rid of the factory cross over.

There are a few cars on here with that setup and it doesnt affect the bonnet closing which is the main factor.

I just cant think of which cars at present :D

Go with whatever suits really.

If you've got cash to tidy it up, might aswell.

something like this i believe.

Umm... its actually the opposite mate.

A low mount is better for under bonnet temps than a high mount.

Thats fair enough then, i was just going by, what kyle had said, and looked obvious to me.

But if stats are looking the other way then good stuff.

Has there been stats as oppose to low mount and high mount with turbo bag or heatshield??

Also engine temps as oppose to engine bay??

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
