Finally fitted the plenum to my car. It went on the same time as a Hybrid intercooler kit, and GFB plub back BOV.

It was a bit of a drama to fit, but I think it was well worth it in the end.

Here's a couple of pics:

It definitely doesn't feel any laggier than before. The large throttle body does make it feel more responsive, as it now takes less throttle position to have the same effect as the stock one.

Hopefully I'll have it on the dyno (to get re-tuned) sometime this week, so I'll let you know what numbers it puts down.

Interesting throttle body, where did you pick that up from?

I purchased it as a package (along with the plenum) on ebay. I had my choice of 80mm, 90mm or 100mm!!! I decided to go for the 80mm option, as the others seemed like overkill for the power output I'm after.

The car seems to be idling and starting better than it did with the standard throttle body. So I have no complaints.

I've had a read through the 'how to' guide for the Greddy copy plenum, and it seems like the issues I had to overcome on fitting this plenum, are very similar to what he had to go through when fitting the Greddy one.

I highly recommend this plenum and throttle body as an alternative to Greddy's plenum (or copy).

Did you have to muck about to fit the tps or did it bolt up? I've seen the TB's on ebay and often wondered if it would work

Very interested to see a before and after dyno.

Yeah we did have to modify the TPS, as the one I was sent suits other Nissan models (like pulsar) but not mine. I emailed the guy about it, and he said it was his mistake for not asking what engine model I have - so he's sending out the correct one.

Will post up the dyno results later this week (if I can get in to see the tuner).

Unfortunately I wasn't able to get in to see the tuner this week, and I'm going away for work this weekend, so I won't be able to get it re-tuned for a while.

What I can say though, is that I have gained some low end torque (which was completely unexpected)... My GT-RS now builds positive boost at just below 2000 rpm (in the taller gears) - about 500 rpm earlier than with the standard plenum. Even without the re-tune, this plenum is an awesome improvement.

I know of a certain 2JZ with a KU engineering Plenum and TB making 430rwkw, And a GTR that went 2seconds faster a lap (Mallala) after installing one. I am also looking at using one for my RB31DETT.

FYI

RB20, RB25 use the std runners

RB26 have KU Engineering cast runners to replace the throotle bodies

Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been unable to get on here for the last 6 months or so...

When the car was dyno tuned, it made 240 rwkw at 17psi - Which should equate to about 260rwkw on Unique Autosports dyno. As with my previous dyno tune when I went from my tuners dyno to the Dyno day at Unique it made about 10% more power.

It is a dream to drive, even on low boost (12psi) the car is a missile. I would recommend this upgrade to anyone.

hey guys sorry for bringing up an old thread but I've done some searching on here and I didn't want to pester everyone by kicking up another new thread.

I asked about a greddy style plenum on here not too long back - I got a reply from a company called performance-wise. I've dealt with this chap a few years ago and bought a PowerFC for my first 33gtst at a great price.

anyhow I got a pm for a greddy style plenum from this chap - I tried putting up the pic but it wont let me strangely so here's a link...

$460 shipped from uk - seems like a great price but my question is would it cause any issues? I've heard all kinds of thoughts on proper Greddy/Trust ones vs copies. I have to say I doubt theres any blinking difference, but seeing as you guys have tinkered with these cars over there far more than us backyard enthusiasts have here.

I'd appreciate your thoughts on this - I cant afford a true Trust/Greddy one (are they the same company?) so a copy would have to do but would I be looking at any tinkering/butchering to get it to fit?

thanks!

so its been a couple of years now and i am curious to see how many people run these plenums now

it seems they are also catering for neo engines which is good as genuine and fake greddys do not alot neo owners to use all the standard idle control etc

any updates would be awesome!

I running one now, and a guy around the corner from me was running one on his 25/30 and the guys at EFI in QLD were suprised at how much torque it was making. He selling it and a throttle body too suit in the for sale thread is anyone wants one.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.

      Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)

      Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...

      Blue slip

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...

      Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
