What i want to know is if there is a big power difference inbetween the two plenums ?

From what I can understand is that for big power RB26 applications single throttle plenums are the way to go when you're running a single turbocharger setup, whilst six throttle plenums are more useful for retaining low mount / oem turbo chargers.

Hope that helps.

first ive heard of that...

people are making 900hp plus with the standard plenum and throttles! the thing with the 6 throttles is that it causes a slight disruption with air flow (turblulence) and can be hard to tune, however there are plenty of people that can tune them and do time and time again

Look mate, I acknowledge that standard RB26 plenum can be used in high horsepower RB26's. HOWEVER, Standard throttle bodies on big powered RB26 can cause difficulty when tuning the car (as you have mentioned) and research has found that single throttle setup ups for big power applications (500+kw) are better for flow and tuning.

Just have a look at all the big powered RB26's (500+kw) and you will see they do not use standard six TB's.

Also, I do not see many low mount set-ups running single throttle plenums, why?... because there is F all performance gained from that upgrade at that power level.

no need to get up on your high horse about it! clearly you are a little sensitive on the issue but im not going to get in an E fight with you when clearly you cant except either

There has been a massive delay with my build. The workshop who is doing my build is moving from Campbellfield to Sunshine, once they are settled in my build is going to commence. In the mean while i have picked up a Nitto oil pump.

Parts that i have so far:

HKS Cam Gears

HKS Fuel Rail

HKS T51R SPL with T62R front wheel

HKS Manfiold

HKS 60mm Wastegate

Nitto 2.8 Stroker

Nitto Oil Pump

N1 Block


Mildy ported RB26 heads with bronze valve guides ready to be sent off for a massive overhaul + CnC porting.

Because i had to wait so long for my stroker to come i took my mechanics daily for a little "test" drive. Least to say i was very impressed with the cars stock performance.

For a whizzer as big as you are planning to run, go the 90mm single throttle body plenum. It will be easier to tune. Any advantage of ITB's will be negated by such a large turbo and the delivery it will provide.

I don't buy into the 'single TB for big power, ITB's for small power' internet theory. It's been disproved in the real world time and time again. Single TB's are simpler to tune with.... and big power with an rb26 means big lag. The main advantages of ITB's are in the lower end or transient throttle- both of these areas are 'dulled' down with a large turbo.

Personally I chose to stick with ITB's, greddy plenum and twin trust td06 l2's on my rb28. I believe I achieve better throttle response, better transient response, higher intake air speed, more even air volume between cylinders and a better sound.

Cheers

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
