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??

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
