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.

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
