I have a forward facing plenum for an RB20det I got with the car that I don't need.

What you see in the pictures in what you get. It looks fairly complete.

I will start at $220.00 ono

I am located in Brisbane with Pickup preferred, or the purchaser to arrange their own freight.

Please email [email protected] or call 0412 547 402 if you are interested.

Thanks

not to be a nay sayer but isn t there a reason why you don t put a forward facing planum on a rb20?

I remeber my performance mechanic saying people had tried it and it did something wrong with the motor.

I could be wrong but that is what he said when a mate of mine asked to modify his rb20 planum to forward facing.

You would have to at least modify intercooler piping, and your throttle cable.

As for the computer I don't know sorry.

Maybe.... just maybe GTIR-Keiron's (comment above) 'performance mechanic' who is an RB20 guru might be able to give you some performance advice though. It really sounds like his his mate's, wife's, cousin's, roomate's, aunt knows what they are talking about.

Thanks mate I have replied to your email with some options. Perhaps if we were to go ahead with a deal we should get GTIR-Keiron's 'performance mechanic' to provide some independant consultancy services, and a complete a full compare and contast report on the efficacy of the RB20 forward facing plenum, versus the standard plenum. Sounds like he really knows his stuff.

Thanks for the input buddy/nay sayer. Ive sent you a PM requesting you to edit your comments. Please keep your unquantified comments out of other people's threads. Why waste everyone's time here?

in light of GTIR Keeirons amazing advice i guess i should remove my forward facing plenum which seems to be working quite well and funnily enough dropped my intake temps but hey if MR K says so ill have to take it off

on a serious note these things are great and shorten your intake pipe by almost 1m if you use a standard cooler with an outlet on either side and less intake pipe means less air volume to take the car from vacum to boost

but hey just my 2c good luck with the sale mine cost more than this

Thanks 'ez 10'.

It's good to get some quantifiable performance gain info.

They are supposed to be a really good value mod.

I would fit it, I just want under my bonnet to look standard.

Edited by NW007

would love this if it was straight bolt on ....so how do you modify the throttle cable? just extend it? how did you do your one? any pictures of it installed?

Your standard throttle cable may already fit seeing as it has a standard throttle body?

It should just bolt straight on top of your intake manifold with some minor intercooloer plumbing changes?

I don't have any pics of it on the car as I have never had it on. I got it with the car when I bought it. Here's a pic though of one I found. It looks like a standard one that's been modified slightly differently though?

i did the same thing to my 25 plenum but with a 90mm throttle body it gave me another 13rwkw but this was tuned on a hot day (got retune because it was running little rich cause of the volume of air in the intercooler changed) i used my std cable too. it made it more responsive also, to get this done it will cost at least 300 or so depending on the place u go to

Thanks 8znR33. Good info!!

Yeah they say they go well.

$300 you say for the mod?........ and I bet that is supplying your own too?

At $220.00 this is a bargain people!

hey sorry been a while since i was last on but yea the mod cost me 300 and i supplied the throttle body as well.

I'm not here to say anything ill of the item since I've seen it a couple times before. But I know with the stock form of where the intake is in the middle of that manifold when it comes in sideways in as stock, cylinders 5 and 6 are naturally lean. Now, moving this to the front, which I can tell is a well done job from the welds and such, will the intake be as lean or more lean than stock in cylinders 5 and 6 since the air is directly into the first several cylinders.

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
