hey guys

looking at getting a plenum for my rb25 there are alot of cheap chinese manifolds that need alot of cleaning up (porting) and dont flow that well. does anybody know of any plenums available with good flow short runners and preferably fabricated alloy plenum chamber something like hypertune.

well its depends on your setup, cams, turbo application and of course budget, the greddy one works well and i have never had an issue with one, the hypertune stuff is killer but more expensive and would suit somehting more radical. The cheap thai stuff on ebay seems to work real weel on RB20 but im yet to use one on a rb25.

i get these ones : http://motors.shop.ebay.com/merchant/pnt_performance

the other ebay ones (Greddy Copies) ive used are shit, i will NOT fit them regardless... ive seen quite a few leak coolant into Number 1 runner and various others crack after a few months (dont ask me how in the world they could make it so crap that it cracks but they did)

i buy heaps of those ebay plenums made in thailand but i only buy the plenum half

i sent them an email asking if they would sell me the plenum half on its own and they agreed the reason why i dont use there whole plenum is because i dont like there runners and trumpets, i dont like the shape of the trumpets and i dont like the ruff casting of the trumpets so i only buy there plenum half on its own and use my own custom runners/trumpets

the plenum half is unreal! its casted, nice looking shape, good size and its very very thick and they also sell the plenum half on its own for a pretty good price

tuff maybe you can supply me one of your "modded" versions next time to have a play with? i would rather pay some-one local (and a community memmber) than send the coin offshore ? providing of course they are indeed superior in the runner department.

thats the kind of info thatim interested in thanks for the info ill see whati can get my hands on as far as runner

if any body else has helpfull info it is greatly appreciated

thanks

plazmaman use factory runners which are fairly long aswell i was trying to steer cleer of the long ugly runners

thanks guys im thinking jun copy plenum chamber and custom runners might be the trick

ill let you all know how well it works (before and after dyno results)

thanks

keeps ideas coming if you have any others

I got a plazmaman one and no comlaints here, but yeah the factory runners look like dick. Thinking if i take the head off to clean out the casting marks on the inside of them and then getting the outside chrome dipped to match the plenum :D

  • Like 1

to be perfectley honest the best upgrade ive done on RB25 is std RB26 individual TB's and plenum. on a std GTT (neo) expect a maximum increase of 40hp and no dips below the factory torque or power curve. The response of the ITB's is awesome and the flow of the factory GTR is great (nismo is better all round) but expect to pay similar money for the comlete setup when comparing it to a greddy setup with Q45 tb etc etc... I know RACE PACE now has the (BEST) conversion kit available for this swap, it is based on the BLITZ D1GP kit.

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
