Plazmaman Copy Plenums

[Roy]

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

Throttle bodies are overrated. I've seen CA's make over 450hp on the standard item. I'm pretty sure its about 48mm

and they make throttle control a lot harder! My VH45 was stuck at 80% on a dyno run but lost less than 5% power

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!

I would if I could afford it...

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

please oh please sent me the details of said 1j's!!!!!

Plazmamsn gurantee the results

Have a look at user: Roy

His real world results would strongly suggest otherwise.

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

just saw that

[The Dan]

That torana has a standard engine

So did Dereks VS too by the looks of it..until recently
