Yes, with a long slot in between the first and second plenums (and longer runners).

Here's a closer design:

In this design, the vertical slats help to smooth and direct the flow of air.

Here's a couple of pics for a sr20 using the above "dual plenum" concept.

hey all,

so i have read this whole thread.. great info..

i see so much love for the plazmaman.. but still undecided on if i should go for this or the greddy..

how do they both compare with stock throttle body? will a plazmaman fit on a rb25 in a r32?

i want to make my car responsive (grip, drift, hill climbs)

i have herd the plazmaman are a pain in the ass to do work on the intake side of the car..

any tips/info would be good.. thanks!

Do you have any pics of the 40mm phenolic spacer?

Cheers

Justin

Here are some of Noel's:

God those throttles are gorgeous, gotta get around to getting one, would finish mine off nicely me thinks. I see that they have slighlty changed the plenum with "Plazmaman" not being engraved on the top but now on the bottom.

I like the alloy boxes you have made Im doing some like that soon :)

Thanks Daniel. the spacer can clearly be seen in the 2nd pic.

It not only lengthens the runners but even at track working the engine hard I can put my hand on the plenum. Whatever its made of it is brilliant insulation material.

can u still work on and remove injectors easy with a plazmaman?

Yeah the injectors aren't a problem. Honestly I don't find it a problem to work on anything with the plenum. The only thing which is a bit annoying is doing the oil filter but you get used to it or just buy a relocation kit. However mine is probably a bit more annoying than most because I have briaded fuel lines everywhere and the taking the filter out snags on them all and they aren't easy to move around like the factory rubber ones.

and is it worth biting the bullet and getting a 80mm throttle body straight up?

I am also wondering about an answer for these questions?

Anyone?

Cheers.

And this?

I will be using a Q45 throttle and I am wondering, what are the merits in this?

I was going to buy a P/M plenum but then i came across this puppy on ebay for pretty cheap which originaly had a 90mm GM throttle but i pissed it of in favour of a newer and in better condion Q45 model.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
