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!

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
