Hi guys,

After a little bit of help with my build, Car is currently undergoing a restoration and while it off to be painted i have stripped all ancillaries etc off the block ready to clean it up.

I have a Holset HX35 To go on when the cars back and will be buying a 6Boost Mani to suit and other supporting mods.

I am a little stumped on the inlet side, There is 2 options im thinking of.

  1. Buy a Freddy Greddy copy plenum with throttle body and fuel rail, If TPS Doesnt fit straight on modify it to fit, Remove all Idle valves, and other sensors etc that dont fit. I know i wont be able to fit the AAC Valve, but what else will i have to remove? Am i right in thinking my only idle setting then will be on the TB Screw? Will also have to make up new fuel lines etc, and im also unsure on what injectors i would go with? High impendance top feed i know that.
  2. Buy a plazmaman manifold and throttle body, at the price of £1200ish in the UK. This appeals to me due to quality etc, but once again what sensors etc do i need to remove? Does it keep the AAC Valve etc? Bit put off by the price to be honest...
  3. There is also the modded stock option and retaing all stock stuff, but not too keen on this idea

Car will also be running a Haltech Platinum pro plug in, Will be retaining A/C.

If i can fit a Greddy and remove all the OEM Idle and AAC Valve etc and get away with setting a base idle of say 1000rpm i will, Will the Haltech be able to adjust idle using the TPS and setting it up well?

Thanks

Chris

The Greddy plenum gives you flanges to bolt your iacv and cold start valve to on the underside of the plenum so you can retain both neatly. As for the plazmaman plenum, it's only the top half and you retain the stock runners so you can basically keep everything on the intake side as per usual

Why do you want to remove your idle / aac valve?

Is that applicable to the GTT Though Jord? And i dont want to remove anything, i was just under the impression i would have to with the greddy setups.

Hmm, good point actually.

Here is a photo of the underside of my Greddy plenum, while it is for an R33 RB25DET I'm sure it would be quite similar underneath? sorry for any confusion :)

EDIT: sorry that photo is average, it's the only one i have on my phone at the moment! :P

Thanks for that guys, Made my mind up today and purchased a greddy copy with TB And injector rail, Will be buying an adapter from Ben C34.

Stock inlet I really dislike, looks,heats oak, just not for me.

only problem I may have now is the TPS. How do people usually do this? Is the stock TPS the same drive?

I'm not retaining the TCS,And stock manifold again I'm not retaining for the reasons above. May still swap to an R33 TB & adapter for ease if I need to.

And has anybody any proof of all this mid range torque loss? The power graphs I have seen on decent setups don't loose torque by much.

And Rb20 torque wise I'm sure is a joke.

I'm also aware that a stock size throttle body will flow massive power, So it's not because it's not big enough.

I can help out.....

This ^ guy made me some adapter plates. PM me if you want me to send you one, as I still have a few left over. It is just a plate that allows you to bolt your r34 aacv to the 33 mounts.

Thanks for your help guys.

Plenum is here now and I'm impressed by the quality of it all. Will be fitting it with an adapter from Ben.

One final question regarding injectors, I know I need top feed high impendance to go with the NEO motor/HKS Rail and found these ebay item number: 201145001596

Are they any good? And genuine for that price? Aiming for around 450-500whp

Thanks!

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
