been looking at the Greddy copy plenums.. iv had a read of a few topics and no one seems to say much bad about them?

question is anyone got one? did you notice any difference?

and duz anyone sell them on these forums?

cheers

I got one on my stagea recently (lots of other stuff at the same time). It is pretty good for the price but there are some things to watch out for like making sure the manifold surface is dead flat before you put it on. and some custom stuff needed like throttle body mounting and cable, aac mounting etc etc

pretty sure just jap sell them

I had an ebay one on for 1.5years.

Never saw a problem. Weren't any defects in the plenum. Didnt have any cyl 6 problems.

But I wouldn't recommend one for a more extensive build.

i was assuming all of the chinese copy manifold were coming from the same factory? as none of them are stamped or anthing? some just polish them up or powder coat them.. are the ebay one just the same?

Unknown quality of the metals used means porosity is a real issue to be aware of.

Mine was stripped back for some extensive finishing work, but got a heavy coat of epoxy enamel before installation.

The Chinese supplied it with a heavy coat of paint probably for the same reason.

myself and 2 others i know are using them, the chinese greddy ones, and they all had water leaks. my one leaked from the water gallery out of the manifold, the other 2 leaked into a port. both No2 runner i think. We all used some of that devcon stuff that my mate aquired from work and gave the water port between No1 and 2 a thin coating.

well, a guy who used to be mates with mafia from here had one on his rb25 and it had the same shit water jackets and leaking issues.

i have personally sold over 8 of them in the last 12 months and had no problems or comebacks. only issue i had was that they dont come with new rubbers for the injectors, but that was a quick trip down to the local nissan dealership.

honestly, they come up really good, and come polished on most surfaces.

only thing that is worth doing is maybe port matching and cleaning up some of the cast markings, as it is only a china one...

www.autotecnica.com have a geezer anyway.

i'm not going to plug the store i work for, as they dont pay advertising, but its pretty easy to work out who sells autotecnica anyway.

    • 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.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
