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.

If you use msn his email address is: eclipsie@hotmail.com and his name is Jack, I bought my rb20 intake firstcly with him he also supplied me with a rb26 fuel rail and custom adapters to suite the rb20 mounts.

Nice guy pleasure to deal with :D

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...

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/ms...25det-intake-ma

$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.

    • I don't think there's any way someone is push starting this car.. I honestly can barely move it, and moving it and steering it is just flat out not possible. I'm sure it is, but needs a bigger man than me. I have a refurbished starter now. The starter man was quite clear and consise showing me how nothing inside a starter really should contribute to slow cranking, and turned out that for the most part... my starter was entirely fine. Still, some of the wear items were replaced and luckily it didn't show any signs of getting too hot, being unfit for use, etc. Which is 'good'. I also noticed the starter definitely sounded different, which is a bit odd considering nothing should have really changed there.... Removed and refit, and we'll pretend one of the manifold bolts didn't fully tighten up and is only "pretty" tight. GM only wants 18ft/lb anyway. I also found a way to properly get my analog wideband reading very slightly leaner than the serial wideband. There's Greg related reasons for this. The serial output is the absolute source of truth, but it is a total asshole to actually stay connected and needs a laptop. The analog input does not, and works with standalone datalogging. Previously the analog input read slightly richer, but if I am aiming at 12.7 I do not want one of the widebands to be saying 12.7 when the source of truth is 13.0. Now the source of truth will be 12.65 and the Analog Wideband will read 12.7. So when I tune to 12.7 it'll be ever so slightly safer. While messing with all of this and idling extensively I can confirm my car seems to restart better while hot now. I did add an old Skyline battery cable between the head and the body though, though now I really realise I should have chosen the frame. Maybe that's a future job. The internet would have you believe that this is caused by bad grounds. In finding out where my grounds actually were I found out the engine bay battery post actually goes to the engine, as well as a seperate one (from the post) to the body of the car. So now there's a third one making the Grounding Triangle which is now a thing. I also from extensive idling have this graph. Temperature (°C) Voltage (V) 85 1.59 80 1.74 75 1.94 70 2.1 65 2.33 60 2.56 55 2.78 50 2.98 45 3.23 40 3.51 35 3.75 30 4.00   Plotted it looks like this. Which is actually... pretty linear? I have not actually put the formula into HPTuners. I will have to re-engage brain and/or re-engage the people who wanted more data to magically do it for me. Tune should be good for the 30th!
    • There are guys on Facebook under, Infiniti Owners Australia   https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1Z3RbPqx4k/?mibextid=wwXIfr What Whp are you after and I can help, and join this Q group in the states. https://www.facebook.com/share/g/19A59cN3JR/?mibextid=wwXIfr
    • Does any of you guys have instagram pages for your builds? Keen to see some Aussie builds. I still can't figure out how to post photos in here.
    • That awesome thanks for that. 
    • You can Remote any of these VR30..globally  Check: AMS Performance | Racebox | Sonic Tune | Soho | Z Motorsports | Specialty Z    Performance Parts | AMS | Z Motorsports | Boosted 6 |    Exhaust | Fast Intentions | ARK | MBRP Motordyne | Borla    There is someone in Sydney with 650whp   I am at 430whp without flex fuel, but FBO & Flex-fuel will push you to 500whp!!
