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

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
