Yeh he complains but he kept the stock throttle body for one , with his upgrades there is no way he shoulf still be running that..... and yhere is also someone in that forum sayin he got quicker spool, better response, a minor hp gain and no bleed off at higher revs ....... And there is no dyno sheets anyways , thats not results btw

Plazmaman told me that the std throttle body is fine for my power (TD06-20G). They said a throttle body would help improve performance further but they understood why I had reservations about spending more dollars given the results I was getting.

Plazmaman were great to chat to...they returned calls promptly and were helpful with things I need to check but I am about 90% sure they arent issues as I had already checked them all as part of the original install. BUT, I will be trying it once I get my other car back on the road.

Give it a nudge, will be interesting to see what results you get. I am making over 300rwkws now out of my RB20 so if there is something that will help make it it a little easier with less then 23psi etc then I am willing to give it a try. I still have Poncams laying around which are getting trialled after my next track day

...oh and for what its worth part of the reason I keep my engine pretty basic is that I happen to know a guy with a Gibson R31 GTS-R and its real interesting to hear all the things they tried and ended up with to end up with the 420hp odd that they raced with and likewise my tuner is a fan of a lot of std gear on the engine for a responsive street/track engine combination

Wow this type of stuff pisses me off, I know the guys at Plazmaman well I go there all the time and they deserve every cent of what they charge. The amount of r&d that goes into their gear is ridiculous and they will not be satisfied until they are sure it is the absolute best and cannot be beaten. For someone to come along and steal their design and brand it as there own is immoral and wrong, I have seen first hand the number of intercoolers they have in the scrap bin because they weren't happy. They looked fine to me but they simply didn't meet their strict quality control. Buy off the guy who put the effort in to getting it right!

One thing people are forgetting or not considering is that whilst the Freddy manifolds are cast these Plazmaman knock offs are welded and it pays to be prepared to take the thing off at one point and weld up splits. You hear of cheap welded alloy manifolds splitting and it's my guess that it is going to be worse these days with E85 and people throwing more boost at their cars

The 1JZ engines we have here run 60 psi boost and 150-200 shot of gas and don't have problems with the custom plenums that are on them. At the end of the day it all comes down to whether the person making the thing knows what they are doing. Any wanker can weld a box up and call it a plenum. Making it work and making it quality are two totally different ball games

1. VR Commodore Ute - 1JZ (fastest and quickest 1JZ in Australia - currently doing 9.1 @ 153) Owners name is Derek

2. LJ Torana - 1JZ (quickest/fastest manual 1JZ in Australia - 10.3 was his time with the manual I believe but he put an auto in and now does 9.6 @ *edit* was 147mph) Owners name is Danny

Photos of the commodore are on my Facebook but the Torana is on Youtube on EFI's page

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
