cheers

The plenum is sitting at WA customs as we speak while they sort out value of/tax/GST so don't think you are not going to get stopped.

As I said anything from Japan performance related is being scrutinised.

LOL!! - ok i've decided to not go with the purchase of the plenum as $1500 could be put to better use else where. Now all i'm searching for is 300-350 wrhp out of a RB25DET which is fitted into a S13 silvia - (to much hp will be crazy) - mods already fitted will be a Wolf 3D, 3" stainless zaust, pod (typical - lol), FMIC, and Bosch 044 pump ;)

what would the next best mod using about $1500 to get me to my goal of 300 - 350 wrhp?

cheers

the combo youve described above should get you close to 300 in a skyline. assuming the drivetrain losses are the same you should be nearly there.

you'll be struggling to get more than that out of the standard turbo though.

s/hand t3/4??

either way, I would like a ride in a 350 rwhp silvia.

the notion that nissan spent years pondering the best way to extract small HP improvements and maximum flow from their plenums is just ridiculous. The factory plenum is designed to be as cheap as possible to manufacture, whilst still performing the job adequately for purpose - i.e. low boost road use applications.

Why is a forward facing plenum included on everything *except* the gts-t then? Even Nissans 'budget' CA18DET and SR20DET motors include one. So its basically not cost. I'd say its just efficiency and suit for purpose as stock, and as people are saying - you're not probably going to notice the gains on a fairly stock setup. Start shoving more boost in, flowing more air into the inlets, and then it might become an issue if the chambers are restrictive.

From what i've seen/read it really becomes a gainer *after* you've stepped up to bigger turbo land. But every little bit helps along the way.

when i was at speedworks i saw a lancer that had just had the intake manifold changed. from something standard to a jun one. runing only 1.2 bar boost it make 80 ps more than when it was running 1.7 bar. even aj at speedworks couldn't beleive the results. i think it simply proves how much extra power can be tuned from a car with high quality parts.

having a better plenium will make a difference, less restriction at higher flow lets the cylinder pressures go higher at lower boost. how ever if you dont have a bigger turbo, fmic and management i wouldnt c you could actually utilize this item. if you do have these items

im yet to look at the internals of the greddy plenum, i would like to do this before i decide weather its worth making my own from scratch or purchasing one of these. if i can design and build this from scratch with no real problems i might consider making more. how ever i need to put more reserch into this before i start. anyone whom could help with any info i might need i would love to hear from you.

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
