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

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
