Kym,

If it takes longer than a six pack then give us a call and me and Macka willl put a cartons worth of hours into gapping your plugs. 2 beers to change, 10 beers to discuus how well we did the job.

If it's too much hassle, then buy a Greddy manifold, you can then re-gap them in 15mins, only cost $1500.

Hi Hicks,

I know about 5 different people that will make custom plenum's for you, just depends on what you want, and how much your willing to pay. Some of the custom jobs look excellent, and will be significantly cheaper than mine.

Hard to beat $1400AUS tho for the fantastic quality of the g-reddy plenum. Taka's pricing.

The G-Reddy plenum is very well designed, but that is not to say that you can't have something better than factory for a cheaper price. The plenum is going to provide very little in way of top end power if your still using the factory turbo. It does provide extra torque, and due to less piping the pressure drop is minimised. The major benefits in terms of power is when using a larger turbo, as the factory manifold is quite restrictive.

The G-Reddy plenum has alot of aditional metal left for port matching if you want to maximise the flow.

I thought the 90mm throttle body caused some bottom end problems (idle at over 1000rpm etc), this could be fixed by machining up some sleaves to fit inside the throttle body to act as a choke sleave does on webber IDA carby's.

Rev210,

Yes the larger throttle body does cause it to idle a bit higher, but this is of little concern, it still provides very good throttle response so I won't bother to adjust it. The Infiniti throttle body is a direct bolt on for the Greddy plenum, therefore this would provide a better idle for the car, but they are still quite difficult to find.

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
