Plazmaman Copy Plenums

[Mitcho_7]

There's not many alternatives in the way of ffp's for rb25's. There's the greddys, the knock off greddys and plazmaman and maybe one or two others like a hyper tune one.

The greddy is similarly priced to the plazmaman from memory.

Exactly, nobody buys an original Freddy anymore cause a 300$ copy does the same job

[STATUS]

Is that not Plazmaman's fault for not adjusting to the market and shipping it off to China like everyone else has then?

End of the day you've gotta play in the market you are in. A lot of top performance places in Aus (and Japan) have been sourcing from O/S for quite a number of years and lower production costs and keep profits and still selling things at affordable prices.

There is the part about Aussie jobs etc, but that is the fault of the Government for poor policy & rising costs here in Aus & competitiveness of China, not the businesses themselves

Could not have been put better.

Yeh there is alot of copies all over eBay for all RB engines and yes I was tempted till for jokes I put in a offer to a company ..... the plenum was 600 and i offered them 300 and tjey said yes and i was like Shit somethin is dodgey here :S

[BouncyR32]

And besides they make them to order , they dont have them sitting around .... its basically a custom plenum , they are cnc based and hand made

[ARTZ]

So why is rb25 so much dearer

[BouncyR32]

Just a sale on rb20 one atm , they ussually the same price

[BouncyR32]

I got recommended these by a mechanic who won't use any other type, if he cant get a plazmaman for the engine he is building he custom makes them , wont use any others cause of bad experiences

Sounds like a very subjective opinion

[ARTZ]

So is the design of the plazmaman proven to make any more power than its competitors or does it just look alot prettier?

[zebra]

Yeah it does!

[BouncyR32]

Proven at least 15whp gain alone , thats using the stock throttle body, altough if u add a plazmaman throttle body its dyno proven to add another 20whp on top of the gain from the plenum .... I will be doin tests myself so i will let u know how it goes as I have the plenum and throttle body from them goin in this weekend

[zebra]

Plenty of results "Prove" you go backwards too in both peak power and response as well

Let me use his discout to order it too

Plazmamsn gurantee the results

[zebra]

Yeah, and so do the ebay electric intake fans

[BouncyR32]

Yeah, and so do the ebay electric intake fans

So u can return these for full refund if they dont ????? Or let me guess no refunds on them .... these are quality cnc and hand made plenums ur argument with cheap ebay crap is not valid

[zebra]

So, youre saying I could bolt on a Plazmaman plenum to a RB25 and If I dont make an extra 20rwhp with the stock turbo and no tuning I can send it back?

Also...why are there 3 or 4 results straight off the top of my head where cars went backwards after fitting one

both RB20 and RB25

[Mitcho_7]

I think the decision comes down to whether you want to spend $$$ and/or keep the factory runners.

[BouncyR32]

Well I cant find any results for plamaman plenumd sending a car backwaronly good news , there is plenty for the cheap copies everyone is goin on about though , and seriously i doubt a company claims a gurantee claim on intake fans , i bet it days up to 30hp gain , that way idiots believe it and the company isnt liable when they put it in and get no results or imo worse results cause to me it just seems like a block
