No offence but that looks hideous and it's ability to flow well would be questionable.

In fact it came of an RB25DET pushing around 500rwhp

I couldnt give a shit what it looks like as long as it does its intended job.

Please justify 'questionable'?

Hi Troy, I have this conversation with many customers and we have tested both back to back to determine the pros and cons. The main difference is that the Plazmaman retains the standard runners, wher

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 t

Lol no need to get pissed off about it, just said it looks terrible. It's not like you made it and im saying your work is shit.

Whether it made 500HP is irrelevant, you can do that on the stock plenum (for reference the Plazmaman one is rated at 1000HP worth of flow, in other words its "horsepower flow" is irrelavant.)

Its just a stock plenum that has been cut up and made into a foward facing plenum (as many people do) but he has changed the centre of it completely, however do you think it has been created to flow well and R&D put into it to flow as evenly as possible like a Plazmaman or Greddy one would? Just saying. It may flow well, it may not, hence my "questionable" comment.

All good mate no offence taken and I’m not shitty lol.

I understand everyone is entitled to their opinions however, it might pay to keep 'possibly' offensive comments to yourself. If I 'had' made it myself would you have made the same comment? Food for thought.

What I meant by "pushing around 500rwhp" is that the guy I bought it from obviously had no problems with it flowing well.

I love the pics of your engine bay and most of the way you have gone about your build but there are certain things I would have done differently. But I’m not about to start criticizing you for this.

It’s these differences that make owner/building and modifying such a personal thing and it’s what keeps forums and discussions such as these happening.

I chose to use this modified forward facing plenum as I am building/modifying on a very tight budget and cannot afford some of the more exotic items on the market. I have researched the factory modified forward facing plenum and it suits my intended build and purpose just fine especially from a budget conscious point-of-view.

I did not intend to compare my plenum to either the plazmaman or the greddy.

I was actually looking for info in regard to the benefits of using a much larger than standard throttle.

Any way back to the question.

I'm worried about the affects of turbulence as a result of interrupting laminar flow, So can anyone please tell me what the pro's and/or con's are of changing to a larger than standard throttle body?

Fair enough man. And no I would have not made the comment if you said you made it as I would not have wanted to offend your work, but since you said it was off ebay, hence I made the comment as I didn't think it mattered. All good.

do u need a retune once the plenum has been installed?

I did. I'm not sure if it's necessary ,but i went fom a return flow cooler with original plenum to a standard front mount with a forward facing plenum and i gained 13 rwhp up top.Made more power down low until 4100rpm.Then made less power until 5100rpm.After that it just pulled better nicely til 7200rpm where as before that it stopped rising in power at about 6700rpm.

Hey guys, I've got the Plasmaman plenum on my r33, came with the car when I bought it. Just took it for a dyno tune and my tuner said he doesn't like the Plasmaman plenums as they don't distribute air evenly to all cylinders. He then proceeded to show me the different colours of the plugs.

Anyone else come across this before regarding the Plasmaman plenum?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
