Dumb Custom Plenum Question.

PPl,

I've have to replace my plenum on my RB 25/30 (turbo) combo, as the last owner made his own dodgy home made plenum.

My actual question is that when you purchase say a Greddy/Trust plenum or even a custom one from say Micks Metalcraft as an example do these actually bolt straight to the side of the head or do they just bolt to runners? The one I have at the moment is welded to standard runners.

If it is only plenum how much am I looking at to get runners and anything else that is necessary for the transition?

Also I am looking the Greddy one, but I have an XF throttle body, can it be adapted with out much hassle as I don't want to change it as it had the TPS set up on it.

Hope this makes sense and I appreciate all coments.

DP

a friend of myn has done some research into it, and came up with use the stock runners with a front facing plenum works best rather then either bolting plenum to head or new runners... there are many companies who build plenums over here

mood motorsport is prolly the best one i have seen...

butmost workshops will either make one, or know who can..

trust plenum bolts directly to the head and if new comes with bolts and clamps, hoses needed to fit everything to it (no gasket though) - you will need to mod the water line for your turbo though.

the runners on the trust plenum are larger in diameter and shorter than the stock runners. You can get an adaptor for the stock TB additional to the plenum, or source a Q45 TB (larger than XF) which will bolt straight up (TPS is compatible, being a nissan). I dont think the Japs are big on ford XF throttle bodies, so if you wanted to fit it, you may have to get a custom adaptor made.

      Some of the filler.   Also if I look under the top flap of metal it starts looking good quite close to the edge. I get the feeling it doesn't go much further.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I finally started digging at the bit of my roof that was cracking and bulging a bit. Well, it was just thick filler that was covering some pretty bad rust. I didn't find the edges, I was too bummed to keep going.  There are a few holes as you can see. There was just so much filler but looks like no attempt under the filler to prime or use rust converter, just slapped filler on exposed rust.  Anyway, I'm going to take the windshield out and find the edges. I'd love to fix this myself as I'm pretty sure it'll be expensive to get done properly. I was thinking I could just get a cut piece from another E39 and just weld it in place as it would be the right size and shape.  Thoughts?

      This is the territory of the "Stage 1/2/3 Golf GTI/R" or otherwise off the shelf tune with (relative to before) minor mods. It's easier now. Downpipe and Tune and boom, big increases. Stage 1 OEM+ is where it's at. This is where the niche evolved into and it's really easy to see why. It's rare to even NEED to consider changing turbos or going to aftermarket ECU's or building bottom ends for more power. Stage 1-2-3 will get you a LONG WAY. Civic Type R turbo GR Yaris/Corolla Anything with B58 (MKV Supra/x40i) Anything BMW in General Anything Audi in General Any turbo AMG RenaultSport Turbo offerings Korean Elantra N/I30N Ecoboost Mustangs Focus RS? List goes on. I would argue in the future it won't even need to go on... M3P is pretty rapid out of the box...

      There is a way, but it's not with the same cars. You need to find the same vintage of car, that we had. Realistically, that was an affordable car with aftermarket parts around. So what people need to find is a car that had a decent base in its day, and can be modified. They're looking for a car year make of 2010 to 2015 really... Aus could have done it if Holden didn't fold as V8 commodores were cheap, and if Ford didn't get expensive thanks to COVID, then you could cheaply play with FG Barras. Realistically, those are just a bit heavier, four door skylines. I'm sure the US and UK have similar cars they could find.

      Haha I do that.. thats when it chirps..The bit point for me is almost non-existent. Otherwise I stall it. But yes, in terms of performance, the clutch is solid af.
