Hi all

I have been searching around for an aftermarket Intake Manifold (FFP)

Wanted to see if there are any others out there as i have been searching for a few months and find a new one every week or so.

Overall Height will be the main concern (cant be much higher then Valve Covers). will be in 300zx Z32

Would like to stick with Long / Medium runner If possible. I may be able to do a cut and shut on the OEM one.

 

Plazman Top half

May be an option but could sit to high

Hypertune

short runner

Rajab Racing

Top half, sits high currently only RB30 but in testing prototype for RB25 as of May 25

IMR Fabrication

plenum/runners welded to Oem flange look nice may be an option

China/ZERO Fab / ISR / NP Bosted

short runners

Assuming you have horizontal space in the engine bay, any of those replacements that don't use the lower factory runners would be OK, wouldn't they? I run ebay china spec in my rb25/30 stagea. Also I am not sure how you (or the market) define long and short runners, in those pics there is a big variation. The length in mine looks visually similar to your last pic.

Of course, there is no science in my response; the bottom end torque is very drivable in my setup but it is a manual rb30 not a 25, and I don't have back to back dyno runs with factory runners so it may be worse down low than stock.

BTW if you are pushing the engine you will want individual cylinder o2 or temps when you tune. You can see visually that there is no way that all of those different designs will end up with the same air flowing into cylinder 1 as cylinder 6. 

Also, keep an eye on clearance to the clutch master (particularly if it is boosted) if you go with a cast FFP.

Agreed,
I guess I would consider long runner oem or rajab since they have their own runners and they bolt to the oem lower 

plasman (top half cap?) Mid length (just a collector that uses oem lower)

and all the rest short runners 

I'd be close to 200% sure that there is no long/medium runner length option that you would want to use. That IMR manifold looks interesting (although, why the living f**k did they think they needed to lobsterback it together!!!???!! Just stupid!). But I'm pretty sure that there would be compromises wrt ancillaries and so on that you'd not like to live with. Getting to the stuff that lives under the manifold will be harder, and it's already hard enough. Plus, the alternator access looks less nice.

So, that leaves the shorter stuff, and if I had to go down that path, I'd just suck it up and pay for Hypertune.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
