Hey guys, im guessing this has been roughly covered before but did some searching and couldn't get a definitive answer.

Im after some info on piping size I should run.

im putting a 3076 or 3071 on 6boost mani with a r34 gtr front mount so its got 3" inlet and outlet.

im also getting a plazmaman with new tb of whatever size I need.

im looking to get 300kw or just over atw with minimal lag so I don't want to go 3" piping if itll just add lag.

what I was thinking is 2.5" from turbo to ic with a reducer and then 3" from ic to the tb and obviously get a 76mm tb

will this be the best way or should I just keep it 2.5" all the way and use reducers either side of the gtr ic.

Stock throttle body has the traction control butterfly on it which is gaids for a FFP installation. Either obtain a new TB or a TB from a Stagea Neo. Note that factory ECU+Nistune is barest minimum to permit that sort of change. Standard ECU will of course have kittens if left to itself.

johnnilicte - how much more lag am I looking at, surely not much being still on the standard runners..

GTSBoy - Im ditching the traction control, and as stated purchasing a plazmaman throttle body.. and I already have a power fc

scotty nm35 - pretty sneaky there, never even thought of running it that way, probly not the best for flow though..

any way of making the hole through the side look standard like a gtr, im going with all black plenum and piping for that reason

It flows better than a return flow, and less piping.

I never understood why the pipe goes underneath the cooler in the return flow setups, and the core is always hiding up behind the intrusion bar. Not good for cooling imo.

around 200~300rpm, have a look at the dyno charts on the RB25 turbo results

I had my return flow custom made (in 2000!!!) and we put the return pipe behind the reo. Core is using the whole opening of the GTR bar. Very successful.

btw johnnilicte im thinking of getting a custom plenum still on the standard runners, possibly a slightly smaller one would let it spool up earlier than the 5.5L capacity advertised by plazmaman??

if I get a custom one it will most likely be from racers choice, a local fabricator..

I want to go forward facing to tidy it up a bit and make plug changes easier

Just get the Plazmaman one, it's nicer.. most other fabricators use sharp edges etc... where as the Plazmaman one is nice and smooth promoting better airflow...

I still say stick to the stock one, unless you're chasing 350kW+ :)

Look at AngryRB, he's made over 320kW+ on the stock one.

Yuh, the whole "nice and tidy and easier plug changes" thing is a bit of a tired line. You only need to change plugs infrequently, and it is no more than 15 minutes work to get the crossover pipe off if you have to.

There are distinct negatives associated with FFPs (usually they cost response and the cops love them), with barely enough positives to justify....for a street car. On a race car, go right ahead and spend your money.

I already spoke to the guy, hes a friend of a friend, said he would do a good price (less than plazmaman) and has the machine to roll the alloy so it will be rounded like the plazmaman.

I know the plugs aren't that much of an effort, but it just looks heaps better than the pipe coming out and then swinging back over the top of the motor.. im hoping to have everything black so as to not draw too much attention when the bonnets open

    • The SS button head cap screw on the back? If so, good to know. I presumed it was there for basic assembly and nothing more. 
    • Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.
    • Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
