hey whats up,Im just waiting on a new turbo for my skyline,with the old one it was making 300rwkw but im chasin more bout 330-350,and cant work out if i really need a forward plenum or not,im running a power f.c with atmo bov so if i really need it its i bit of a pain in the ass,coz ill have to get a oil fiter relocation kit and re-weld a new flange for the bov.also it will be alot closer to the afm,its not to bad at the moment but its pretty close to the throtle body so stalling isnt that bad unless you back of qik at low rpm,any way what im needing to find out is who is making this sort of power with the factory plenum?? Im sure its possible just wanting some other opinions and also wanting to get everything sorted befor she goes on the dyno...

cheerz Jim.

what sort of skyline is it?

It is said that the Stock RB25 plenum can handle approx 350RWKW/500Rwhp

Few here have installed an Rb26 plenum rather than the FF Plenum.

At the end of the day, the stock plenum will be fine. With a forward facing plenum you will gain a bit more response and a bit more power through out the rev range (depending on plenum of course). It tidies up the engine bay something fierce as the stock plenum setup is a very ugly piece of gear. I did the plenum very early on and it was probably one of the best mods i ever did.

Your call though.

Nope, you can either use an adaptor plate which isn't sold new anymore. Or you have to modify the hell out of it. There is a thread in the Forced Induction section about it. It aint a small job.

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.

      There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...

      With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
