What's your dirt bike?

I've got a Jim berry Full monty clutch in mine, it's great, never slips, doesn't make any noise and is really driveable. Never stall it :D

I have a nice customized plenum, and Andrew at Pro auto said that cars with almost identical mods without the plenum and TB(Q45) typically made less power, and he said it definatly improved flow. mine has a 35r with a .82r

I also run a gizzmo thermal gasket, to stop heat transfer from the head to the plenum, and the plenum stays quite cool.

so there are gains to be had, I did it as a sort a package, highmount mani, 35r, plenum, TB etc.

shorter piping is always a bonus too. I think I reduced it by a metre all up.

and it looks mint =D

I wouldn't be tempted by a cheapo job tho, I'm not a chinese hater but its one thing you dont want to fail. pain to get on and off too. I still had to make a throttle cable bracket and also Mod the water temp senor ports as when the plenum was built it was dummied up on a head with no VCT sensor!, 10 hours of fab later lol. was worth it in the end tho.

1000 for plenum and about 500 for there 85 TB.. ill have to look more into it for wat i need as i keep saying its for looks but.. i dont want to get a shitty cheep that ill need to change later on or that will f**k me around

I dont doubt that for minute with your set up Jack but with a stock 25 neo a FFP as a "first" mod is a waste of money IMO especially if all its for is cosmetics.

yep I agree, took me a few years to get around to it. Ecu, turbo & injectors etc and wayyyyyyy more important that a FFP.

datsuns dont really wake up till you've got a reasonable turbo and supporting gear on there to complete the dish.

    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
    • That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope!
