gota a pic of this manifold?

i heard and believe that Greddy makes a manifold like this or use too...,

but stop making it becoz it starves the 5 & 6 Cylinder of air...

(i believe its unavailable anymore) correct me if im wrong.... :)

so since the throttle body being at the front....

air would go from Cylinder 1....to...6

6 getting less air...

so really its not really worth an upgrade...

dont get me wrong....

i too was looking at a forward facing manifold too..

but not if its gonna cause problems or starvation on other cylinders...

plus if think about.................................

nissan Japan put alot of money into developing these engines....

SR's and the RB's..

but esp. the RB26

thats why they got independent throttle-body cables and a front facing manifold...plus for better response...

and thats why the rb20 and 25 have top-side facing manifolds...so air would be divided equally...

and SR have front facing manifold..but only coz they only got 4 cylinder..not 6!!! so 5 and 6 would get starved...

so the manifold would have bein tested & designed perfectly for ur engine...

but doing modifications to the engine would change the basic of these designs..but still....

id stay with the stock manifold..!!!!!!!!!!!!

or try fitting an rb26 manifold..!!!!!!!!!!!

the extra independent throttle-body cables would make a hell of a difference and and a better upgraded!!!!

i believe a few people on SAU have done this upgrade....

but thats just me....

well i have one on my R32 and i think its a good upgrade. i gained 30kw after i have my tune to get it running right. i say if u got the money go for it. but other people will say spend ur money on other things. have a look at my dyno sheet attached

cheers

25rwhp and minor midrange for that cost? ... Not worth it in a million years for a street car or mild application IMO.

You'd barely notice that increase after a week, if at all.

You'd have far better gain by saving the money to put an RB25 in there or better parts elsewhere on the car

well... as for me ive kinda ran out of things to do without opening the engine and going 4 another rebuild so this 30kw gain from the manifold looks like a great idea for me as i dont care much for the rb25 rite now and like to b diferent. Thanks 4 the post Jet ill definatly b putting one on in the next few weeks

Agreed, or a .63 gt3071/76. I would only fit a plenum if your shooting for above 300rwkw, in which case you dont really need the additional top end power for an r32 gtst street car, as it will be wheelspinning well before the plenum will start to come into effect.

Hi mate,

did u have an after market ecu or just the remapped stock ecu?

anyone know if we need any computer upgrade to work with this front facing plenum?

cheers

You could have saved up some more money and bought a half decent car instead of that POS R31 too.

There is nothing wrong with RB20's you can still make 300rwkw quite easily and they rev a lot harder than 25's and 26's.

I'm sick of hearing everyone talk them down. It's an RB and a damn fine creation.

I find it funny when some people on this site can disapprove of other people’s cars/motors, but if it were anyone else they would receive a warning.

To the thread starter, any power gain is a power gain. So if it makes you more power I can’t see it as a downgrade. Plus the standard rb20/rb25 plenum and cross over pipe looks damn right ugly.

If you have the money to buy the plenum and take full advantage of it by getting a tune, by all means go for it.

Not only that but if you were to upgrade even further, the plenum would/could be an even greater asset.

If you love your 20 and want to mod it, do it. I was told to not bother also when I was doing mine but I persisted with it and ended up enjoying the car even more because it could still dust a 600cc motorcycle.

Do what you love, stick with what you got.

hey mate,

I had one of the plazmamann plenums on my car. It was a RB25 and i have a mate with one on a RB20. we saw good gains out of both and while i cant quote his power increase post manifold, i can tell u i picked up 20rwkw and some nice throttle response.......... here is my graph.....

done on stock injectors and turbo too......

cheers

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
