Ok so I found out today that my motor has low comp on the 6th cylinder. Looking to start a rebuild and found a greddy manifold cheap, I'm looking to do a 2.8 stroker rebuild. Already have -5 turbos and was making 330kw atw. Might start another thread with the build details but was hoping to find out if the manifold was worth purchasing???

Here's a couple of 2.8 strokers making 450 awkw on conservative street tune with stock intake manifold (one with -5s one with TO4Z):

So who can tell a fake Greddy plenum from a genuine? What are the distinguishing features?

For those that have a Greddy plenum, does the red Greddy decal come already fitted to the plenum out of the box or do you stick it on yourself?

Very easy to tell the difference between real and fake mate. The quality of the casting is a dead giveaway, the fakes are a bit rough with uneven dimples (for lack of a better word), and there is plenty of dags. The genuine ones have a very smooth and consistent casting and look much nicer.

Might be, if it is real, lol... Send me a PM if you want to know what I am thinking.

Aftermarket jobs like hypertune and nismo just command too much money for performance benefit and good luck trying to get any CFD or other testing from either of those to prove what they advertise.

It comes in the bag with all the other bits and you stick it on yourself

The genuine greddy is a better unit for sure... by the time you port match, relieve the 'dimples' for the screws, have all the mating surfaces machined flat on a fake one, then you have spent more than a genuine one allready...

Saying that, I spent a few hours matching up my genuine manifold to the tb's and smoothing out the casting marks anyway.

...tbh, the main reason I wen't with a greddy manifold was because it's 2 pc and I can ballance the tb's more easily (and it has hand flat boss's to mount all my N20 nozzles on he he he).

    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
