Hey all.

I have been speaking to Pete from Hypertune about having a plenum made to suit my car. Also thinking about back to back testing it vs the plazmaman that I currently have on my RB25. Then thought if all goes well a few more of you guys would probably be interested in one.

Hes willing to offer a group buy also, and actually making a production run on Hypertune RB25 plenums.

I've told Pete that I'll let this run for a week or so and see the interest it generates and get back to him and it will be decided from there.

This is where we are at so far. I also added pictures he sent to me.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the call yesterday.

Some pics attached of what we currently make for the RB25.

We are thinking of making a more "production" version and this might be a good opportunity to do it. It will still look very similar to the one pictured.

It will look quite similar to the one pictured but rather than use part of the standard manifold we would machine a billet head flange.

I've come up with 4 different manifold options:

1. Inlet manifold to suit standard TB (or existing TB) and standard fuel rail

2. Inlet manifold to suit standard TB (or existing TB) + billet fuel rail to suit top feed injectors

3. Inlet manifold + Hypertune 90mm TB + to suit standard fuel rail

4. Inlet manifold + Hypertune 90mm TB + billet fuel rail to suit top-feed injectors

I'd like to sell 10 units - a combination of any of the 4 options would be fine. Since we'd be selling 10, I'll price them at 25-30% below retail price also. I haven't quite worked out what retail price would be but with the manufactugin techniques I have in mind I'm hoping they will come out considerably cheaper than our current line of intakes without compromising performance. We will still use the same plenum as the one pictured.

Let me know what you think so far.

Regards,

Pete Lewin | Hypertune

That's gorgeous. If I didn't already have a Plazmaman plenum on mine then I'd be thinking about that.

Out of interest, what setup would you be doing back to back testing on? Ie. what turbo, head setup, power levels, etc??

Back to back testing on my car.

RB25, CP pistons, Nitto I beams, Envy Dyno head, Platinum products 272/278 cams, Supertech solid lifter conversion,valves, springs, etcetc. gt3788 turbo, 0.99rear, 6boost mani, 50mm gate, 3.5in exhaust, Haltech platinum pro, E85.. limit is 10,300rpm, 34psi. Gets tuned in a few weeks with the plazmaman manifold so I will let you know on figures IF all goes to plan. Expecting to get very very close to 700hp.

(Getting more cash together, just bought a F1A procharger kit for my XR8 so things are tight at the moment - my tow car lol)

EOI's without firm pricing (inline with the rules) - never end up going anywhere because everyone dreams and says "I'm in", ask for cash, you get no responses.

I'll give this till Friday, but then it will be closed and once the rules are ready to be followed, a thread can be started in the correct area with the required information (it's like that for a reason :))

Yep, agree! Thats fine.

Figured I'd put it here just so more people are made aware of this quicker. Will go through the appropriate channels and post it up in the right section when we have a rough idea on numbers interested and the final pricing and timeframe.

Thanks for leaving it.

Speaking with Pete last night.

He is going to quote me the normal price and a SAU group buy price today!

Will get the appropriate break down of costs IE plenum with throttle body and fuel rail, plenum without throttle body, plenum and fuel rail. etc etc..

When have all the exact info, will post up a proper group buy.

Again this is here just to generate more interest.

Thanks,

Matt

HI Guys

Just to let you know that is my car in the pic. I am very pleased with the work that these guys do and although i dont have dyno figures to prove the product i can tell you it did add a big differance in performance. There is a little work to fitting them as in moving your Idel control valve to a remote position and using a 300zx throtle cable but other then that they do bolt stright up and you will also be able to run top feed injectors. The boys at hypertune are very good at what they do and alot of the very big cars around the world run there stuff.

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
