well its the last upgrade i can c my self gettin power out of, cams are done its been bored out computer turbo blaH blah blah i think the plenum is the best way to go if i can gain 30more kw @ the wheels that will definatly get me over the 300rwkw mark

I would mate. If ya have done everything else that there is to do, then fire away. Dont worry about everyone else who says not to, try it yourself. LOL - then we'll all be asking u the questions about it all!

I keep coming back to this mod as well. Its pretty big money, but woudl be money well spent if it fattens up the mid range. Though by the times its installed and car tuned its a $2500 exercise so would need to be pretty sure it works....anyone willing to take the plunge on an RB20?

LOL, people referring to results on RB25s doesnt do anything for my confidence :D

I'm keen to do one... and if money and time permits i'll try and do a before and after dyno run. At least you'd think there'd be some gains in response due to removing a metre or so of intake piping? :D

I don't see how a forward facing plenum can starve cylinders 5 & 6 of air. It might starve cyl.1 and maybe cyl.2 but cyl. 5 & 6 would get more air if anything, causing them to run slightly leaner and I believe that is the issue some people have with forward facing plenums, leaner rear cylinders.

spot on ash... you get used to power upgrades so quickly!

so your agreeing with him.. than why the f**k do we bother modifying cars.. saying something like that is absolutely stupid. if everyone took that attitude we'd all be driving dead stock slow shitbox's. when someones chasing hp offer them advice. instead of telling them mods are useless cause you'll be use to them with in a week of them being installed..

if i had of known that i wouldnt of modded at all.....

lets just sell our cars and buy push bikes.. we'll be use to them after a week apprently..

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

no u dont need a aftermarket ecu or remap to run the plenum. i installed my one and working fine for a month b4 i went and got a remap+tune. just the idle was abit off thats all. also keep in mine that the piping goes where the battery is so u will have to put the battery in the boot. about 6hrs of work if u dont have ur misses in ur ear all day :D

I feel you man!

i was looking at the greddy plenums but as mentioned the 5th and 6th cylinder dont get enough air so i opted to pay the extra 200 bucks for the plazmaman plenum, she works well and i think it helped reduce lag from my to4e but that might just be me.

I got one on the 25, even if it doesnt give you any performance gains, the fact it makes your engine bay go from looking like ass to looking sexy as hell is worth the money. I cannot stand the standard RB20 and RB25 plenums, look like absolute sh*t!. Also makes working on your car so much easier because you dont have a million things in the way. If you can afford one and want one, get one.

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

Well history repeats. I am back here again and again thinking about throwing one of these onto my car. So as a before and after mod you are comfortable that there was a gain from the manifold, and not from the tuning after the manifold went on...ie Dr Drift had tuned the thing optimally before the manifold went on??? Going from the TD06-20G to a TD06-25 i am going ot need to do some work to get the old girl responsive.

So torn between a Plazmaman setup or an EFI Hardware multi throttle setup

what power you making now? as too before?

ive got one on mine but never checked for gains before and after

i just went the whole hog when i blew the sh?t out of my engine 2 years back

never really noticed results as the car was off the road for 18 months

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
