Hello

I think I´m gonna buy one of this intake manifolds for rb25det. http://global.ebay.com/nissan_rb20_rb25_rb...0390396794/item

What do you guys think about it ? I think it looks realy good and it´s a nice price. Must be much better then the Greddy copy ? I plan to buy one with q45 throttle flange How much power can a q45 throttle handle ? Please help.

Regards

Good luck.

For more information on what i mean, search and find the dozen other "ebay copy" threads about intake manifolds.

They require a reasonable amount of re-work before they can be used with any confidence.

Ok I thougt this one used the original flange from nissan ? If it is so the fitting wouldn´t be any problems ? I know people have problem with the molded greddy style crap like this http://global.ebay.com/RB25_R33_R32_R34_EC...0355717398/item

I was not talking about the flange plates specifically.

Im talking about the entire thing, intake runners, main intake etc etc.

I've searched for you:

There are plenty more.

Good luck.

I disagree with that. I used to have an ebay copy GReddy plenum, and it bolted straight up, no modifying was required. Never skipped a beat.

That manifold doesnt look that bad, compared to others I have seen.

The look of it?

The only picture that shows the runners/flange area is the RB20 one, and then its on a total angle so you can barely see a thing.

Just because it is shiny means nothing.

If you've had a luck ebay buy, then that is great. But all you need to do is put "ebay plenum" or "ebay intake" into the search and watch the drama's unfold.

Yes I know about those problems with the molded manifold but I did´nt asked about those manifold if you check my link in the first post it´s a different manifold.

Because it's different doesn't magically make it better does it?

End of the day i don't really care how you decide. Your posts seem to indicate your going to buy it anyway regardless of what is said.

Be very wary of poor quality cast runners, the don't use original runners - they use dodgy reproductions.

For a similar price I had a custom one made out of my factory RB20 runners and a GTR plenum with a Q45 flange on the front. The fabricator is local and I've been able to take the semi-completed piece to and from his workshop to test-fit to the engine/make changes etc etc.

I'd rather spend my money locally and end up with something I know fits than send it overseas and get something potentially very dodgy.

I have fitted that type before. Top quality uses orignal nissan manifold just cut and shut.

Nice welds and looks like good grade alloy. work of art on the velocity stacks aswell. they also weld ur choice of tb flange to it.

I have one on my own 25/30 combo and it works well

The one in the picture is a pnt performace ebay one for a rb25, works really well. Sam at Dr drift is a real fan of them too.

I've also fitted 5 or so Greddy copies 2 becoming pouress and leaking water into the inlets. no way of repairing the sh1TTY sand casting either!!

Hmm looks neat! i like i like! ummmm, Just say i buy one right, What sort of intercooler would i need to buy to suit it? Because when i order the cooler like for my r33 series II wont the piping be inccorect? or would it have to be custom?? At the moment now i got a return flow cooler...

Thanks

interesting keep an eye out on the runners as i used a few (and tune a few) and they have all cracked around 5 and 6 after only a few track days. Even the 2 ca18 ones we used had porous welds around the trumpet bases. The last two had such warped bases they cracked when the customer installed it...

We now machine each one and re weld the runner bases, they seem to be fine after that.

PM WHEEZY about his.......

i must agree about the ebay greddy copies we wont fit them anymore as they are generally shite.... we have also had a few that leak into the inlets.

Yup, I should have really checked it all out properly before I installed, but you would think factory = factory, not so it seems.

I still think they are a great unit for RB20 providing the face is all square, but if I had a 25 there is no doubt I would just go the Trust item, by the time you purchase, ship, modify to fit correctly you could have a Trust plenum.

Well personally I wouldn't use the 26 plenum because of how it tapers off toward cyl 5-6, definitely a limitation which while proven to be 'ok' on rb26's making big enough hp is definitely still a limitation. If you're going with a new plenum why use something that isn't designed all that well in the first place?

For a fairly reasonable price the Greddy RB26 plenum is much better, retains the itb's too.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
