Custom Plenum

[dojobi]

Damn, that is a huge increase, NismoGTSX. I might have to reconsider it. I'd talked myself out of it, but this is good to hear. Have you got any more details of your mods?

dAVE:

I didn't notice your comment to me about Merli. Thanks for the tip. I've just spoken to him about it actually.

Nahh - its got a fair bit more than 300... Probably more like 330... It makes 300 by 5000rpm, and then broke traction past 5500rpm, so I'm not sure of it's exact figures yet. It revs to 7500....

As for how quick down the track... Not sure if I'm in a hurry to run it... I've spent god knows how much money on it to get it to this stage, and it's suspension setup is for track work...

To run a decent time, I'd have to fit an auto box, and some sicks, plus some front runners, and that's money I'd rather not have to spend...

When I end up selling it, I might spend the $$$ just so I have the slips for 10 seconds when I sell it.

BTW - MIC33R - I'm not saying that the plenum's a complete waste of money... I'm saying that for that sort of $$$ outlay, you could spend it better

300rwkw is 402rwhp. that's good enough for 10's. have you raced it yet or not concerned about 1/4 mile?

Matt,

Yeah I probably could spend it better. I am happy with what I've got though. I just thought it might be an easy and cheap way to get some extra power, but I guess it was not to be.

I have a custom plenum on my car, but i cannot really quantify the results of just the plenum, as I did alot of mods all at the same time. It definitly helps reducing the length of pipework but at my level (205rwkw) I don't think it makes a noticable difference. Another thing you have to factor in is alot of custom plenums remove the factory idle sensors, etc from the plenum which then requires a full computer.

Pics of my plenum are here www.mfx.com.au/team/prgen.jpg

MFX_R33: where did you get the custom plenum done and how much did it set you back??

looks very neat and tidy.. and shiny hahhae

[Guest MFX_R33]

Darren at Mood Motorsports made my plenum, which I believe is a much better design than the Sub-Zero item due to the tapered design. The Sub Zero one to me looks as if it favours the first few cylinders, and would starve the last few.

If you give Mood Motorsports your manifold, they will make the polished aluminium plenum for $850. He also did my pipework and I/C for $2000. I can't speak highly enough of his work, it is excellent.

Just tell him that Jeff from MFX recommended him.
