basically i bought a hole bunch of goodies, one of which is a gtr plenum, where putting a spacer plate between my head and the plenum to match the studs etc, was wondering if this would bring on results as good or better than the greddy plenum for the rb25? I heard the gtr plenum has fins that guide the air into each cylinder as the greddy one doesnt. can anyone confirm this? I also got gtr fuel rail, injectors,reg and pump too. amongst lots of others

If you have already got the plenum, why don't you actually have a look at it to see if what you heard about it is true?

Also might want to search on this, there was a long thread on this topic a few months ago with pics of both plenums, and how they looked mounted up to the head.

Greaddy being the big company they are, I’m sure with out a doubt they have invested lots of time and research to get the best performance out of a RB25 plenum they why they made one for an RB25 and one for an RB26 because each motor has slightly difference workings.

Your best bet would be to sell the GTR plenum and invest in a RB25 Greaddy one if you really are that keen to change.

Yes Steve, but how do I get multiple throttles onto a Greddy plenum for my Rb25? Either way I'm going to have to do some fab. And I know the GTR plenum works well as a unit. Not sure about the capacity of the Greddy ones either. My car isn't being built for outright power but more so for low down torque/boost response.

Thank you for your opinion Steve. However I want multiple throttles and a front facing plenum that is not too large in capacity. Going for the Rb25 plenum and single throttle will reduce my throttle response not to mention the extra intercooler piping.

Oh and it doesn't matter what you are doing - you have to look good doing it.

Trust me - it will work and work fine. You can tune the car to suit so I am not worried. I have heard flow test results from both plenums and I'll take the GTR one thanks.

Have you ever heard of a GTR plenum flowing unevenly? No I don't think so.

Q for Steve - Yes Zoom magazine found that it lost power in most areas, but can you tell me how that RB20 test applies to my motor? 3lt with modified cylinder head and GT35 0.82 housing? I'll give you a hint - there is no comparison.

i dont think that an rb20 comparison would even be accurate to the rb25. Afew more cc's to play with on the 25 so hopefully it should work alittle better than the results of the rb20 one, however i still dont know anything about the results of the rb20 rb26 plenum thing.

I am with you lukevl, I am also planning on doing this to my RB25 in the next 6months and am not doubting that there will be an increase in the flow. I would almost put money on it and say that the GTR surge tank flows equaly if not more then the Greddy surge. The individual throttle bodies are also good for around a 1000hp, so you wont have to be worring about upgrading to a bigger single throttle body. Also I would rather spend $250 rather then $700+ on the greddy. When do you plan on doing this?.....I was going to make an adapter plate also, and wouldn't mind seeing how yours turns out.

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
