i have been doing a little bit of looking around for bolt on mods for a NEO RB25DET and came across the plazmaman inlet plenum which u can by with a throttle body and intercooler as a whole kit for about $3000 (thats the competition spec cooler and billet T/B) cheaper coolers available and an R33 T/B would fit. i was just hoping if anybody could tell me if they thought that this plenum ( you use the stock runners etc) would rival the GREDDY manifold. they also make a great looking Stagea specific cooler.

im a bit pissed of that i will have to sacrifice my traction control to do this but thems the breaks.

why on earth would i say that if i did this mod i would loose my traction control if i didnt have it in the first place. well know tha we have sorted out that little fact could someone please give some sort of feedback regarding the actual post which was about inlet manifolds.

cheers

where would i find the traction controll unit, fuse or what not if mine has it? (s2 rs4 s 98)

when i dump the clutch off the line it just wont spin em up but i thought it may just be my weak clutch or too much traction.

I suppose my question would be- can the $3000 odd be better spent on other mods for the car?

sorry but I am completely unfamiliar with what mods you have already

if that new plenum and TB is going to give you the power you need ( as you have all the other supporting mods already - ie after market ecu or bigger injectors etc ) then yeah go for it

but if there are other things you can spend $$ on then I would go with that

ie - just dont get it if its for looks/bling

my main reason for this is that i hate the throttle body and intercooler piping assembly going over the top of the motor when it can be moved quite easily. i realise a just jap bolt in cooler is only $500 bucks that uses the original return pipe but i just dont like it and that's it. i have a pretty stock car at the moment but it's not going to stay the way for much longer so i thought kill a few birds with stone or 3000 of them any way. cooler t/b and a good flowing manifold that will all bolt in without major modification and give great overall response and hp gain with head room for more modifications down the track. they guys at plazmaman advised me that the Greddy manifold is really only good for drag racing (WOT) due to its short runner design. well if i go through with it i will let u guys know about the results before and after any other modifcations.

RS4's dont have traction control due to them being AWD. mine is only RWD like a GTST R34 therfore it has traction control.

Please tell me when you find one, I have used lots of brands and styles since 1999 and haven't found one yet that does all of that. I am currently using a cheap China GReddy copy on the basis that If I have to make mods to get it to work properly I might as wll start off with a cheap one. But that still requires washer bottle relocation, cutting a 75 mm hole in the inner guard and making a throttle cable adaptor the same as the original GReddy. So it's hardly "bolt on".

If you have no intention of upgrading the internals, then the best manifold is the standard one. Everything else that I have tried loses power and response and has issues with distribution.

Cheers

    • Ok i will get those 310mm. I found one but on a different site. This is the description on those...is it ok? Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
