Hey all,

I am looking to buy a Plenum for a track GTST R33.

Have read through pages and pages of info.

Im leaning towards a plazmaman or a Greddy as im after useable torque.

But what about a R33 GTR Plenum? What is needed to make it fit? And is it worth doing it over a plazmaman?

Looking at around the 375 to 400kw mark, what size throttle body to go along with the plazmaman would i need?

Any other info would be great

I run 391kw and the 66mm seems to be holding up alright, if its a track car you will be at WOT more than you would on the street so possibly wont hurt to go bigger!

GTR plenum requires more effort to fit compared to the simple bolt on applications as you have multiple TBs etc i assume.

^ GT-R plenum would be worse IMHO because you need to run one of those fugly hacked up spacer plates and that would affect airflow and also the injector spray would be offset.

Of course, it has been tried & tested.. but for 370~400kW why not stick to the stock plenum, but if you have cash to spend might as well get a Plazmaman plenum :)

Thanks guys.

Im after the plenum to clean up the engine bay to.

Also while people are reading, removing the air polution stuff.. is it as simple as disconecting and plugging the holes? wont effect anything?

Cleaning up the engine bay is one thing but remember if you are doing these kind of plenums (well in regards to the Plazmaman) relocate your oil filter and do an oil cooler setup while its apart as its a bitch to get to the filter once its all together! Its even a mission on mine just to check the oil level on the dipstick lol

you mean the charcoal canister? yeah go for gold!

while you're at it, might as well setup an atmo catch can

(it's a dedicated track car that will never see the streets right?)

Yer that little canister with a couple rubber n hard lines running to it. excellent. yer definatly a track only. never ever see the streets!

    • 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
