Had a chat to the lads at the zorst place in braddon, what do people think about their idea bout rotating the plenum (the standard one) to shorten the piping distance to reduce lag when putting in the front mount?

adamACT33 = adam kercher?

Quite simply... Dont.

It is a method used by some guys to reduce the amount of bends in the piping and reduce the amount of work the air has to do to get from A to B. However... it does work when you spend the money and replace the standard plenum with an a/m plenum (.e Greddy). what doesnt work is when you use the standard plenum that has been cut and welded. You see what happens is:

the standard plenum has the intake on the side and is designed to distribute air evenly between all clyinders. When you change where the intake is (move it to the front) the air enters the plenum unevenly and services the first three clyinders more so than the back three. What also happens is:

The plenum is designed to have air enter it and pressurise by bouncing of the walls of the plenum. If that air then has to travel three times as far before it hits anything??? Which agan goes back to the cylinders furthest away from the intake being lean.

Where the idea comes from is the a/m plenums that are designed properly to disperse the air evenly. You will notice that most of these plenums start to thin out at the back end. These do the Job fine and you wont have any issues, but having said that I dont remember anyone really getting that much out of it.

Spotted a stock looking dark blue R32 GT-R on the Parkway on the way to work this morning a bit before 8am

A black R34 25GT-t in the pool carpark in Civic about the same time

and 'MSPEC2' on Allara street, about the same time :P

I have heard that before, but I have also talked to a few guys who use a modified front throttle standard plenum and they have all said that if you have an adjustable air/fuel computer then you can get it to run fine, and you do save alot of lag.

It depends on how the engine is tuned though, like I said you must have an adjustable ecu though too.

Oh and BTW I have one of those plenums with piping to suit an R33 for sale if anyone is interested! :O

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
