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.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Your other option is to buy a spray can of hi-fill and prime it with some pinholes. See if the primer makes them disappear. If it does, then you can leave it with pinholes of that size and they will go away when the painter takes over.

      Ah ok. I seem to be mixing it like everyone else does so not sure what's happening. Will experiment with it more.

      Depends on what you mean by OK. First up, was this done cold or hot? Are they reasonably consistent? Yes, they are reasonably consistent. Could be better. But unless it has had a build at some point, it is a ~30 year old engine and you'd expect some variation. Some of the difference could also be in user technique Is it good compression? Well....not numerically, no. New they were >160 psi. The one at 140 would be fine, in that context. If they were all ~140, you'd be reasonably happy. But the one that is @120 is twice as far down from the original numbers as the one @ 140. But.. (again)... technique can play a part in the absolute magnitude of these numbers, and the quality/state of repair/accuracy of the pressure gauge is not known. In the context of the above, the compression tester that was used last on my car is regularly compared to a known good pressure gauge. Not calibrated, exactly, but compared to a reference instrument that is not used for any other purpose, so cops no abuse. So we can trust the measurements off that tester. But another tester in the same workshop wasn't being compared against the standard and was reading a good 30ish psi lower. When you're reading 100 psu but the engine is really doing 130, you can make bad decisions.

      More likely from tiny bubbles in the filler/putty. Maybe be less aggressive when mixing it. Perhaps invest in a vacuum chamber to pull the air bubbles out?** **I don't know if this is a thing for body filler. I see hardcore epoxy makers degassing their mixed resin on the regular.

      IIRC, the speedo on these is fed from the sensor in/on the snout of the diff.
