Questions On Greedy Plenum

[burko1]

Hey Guys A Coulpe Of Questions On The Greedy Plenum On R33 Gtst.

Can You Still Bolt Up The Standard Idle Control Solenoid That Usually Sits On The Back Of The Standard Manifold?

What Throttle Body Bolts Up To These Plenums Usually ? Seeing As Though They Sell A Adaptor Kit To Fit The Standard Throttle Body On It.

Any Replies Would Be Appreciated.

Most people I have seen use the standard throttle on the plenum and simply use it to run less piping with an aftermarket FMIC. It flows a lot better than standard and will be a good upgrade if you get more serious about modifying your engine. Oh and it's GReddy not GReedy

[paulr33]

have you seen it flow more? at what power level does it flow more.

unless your at a few hundred rwkw then its not deemed a "good" upgrade given the gains you get which are pretty much none over standard, infact i think its been show to be a bit worse. shortening the piping doesnt do much either

I know this car well.

XSpeed are probably the most well known tuning/performance workshop here in Perth. Make up your own mind.

i mean im certainly not an expert, far from it in fact, i just recall various aftermarket plenums vs stock and the stocker didnt prove to be a restriction and was fine for some pretty high power levels and it was said that you could spend the $1000 odd ish on stuff that would actualyl gain power and have more benefit than 0kw power gain and less piping

Yeah that's cool people don't always agree. I know that changing the plenum on an RB20 does more harm than good because of the long runners etc but on the R33 it can be a good upgrade. However I wouldn't make it a priority unless I really needed to and as you said it probably won't give you any gain until you are making a lot of power and I have seen the stock plenum perform fine on cars making 350bhp. It does look nice in the engine bay though

[paulr33]

yeah but for $1000 would u rather the engine bay look nice or a set of cams which will make more power everywhere

[4DOOR]

Cams please but he asked about the plenum so.........

i also got a plenum even though i read SK's post in that UAS one about its not worth the money for the gains or lack of, and the rest of it..and i strongly believe his words in that there is no need to change the intake mani unless your changing internals to suit extra capacity...i chose to get one to simply remove the 2 metres of piping i have from fmic to throttle body and to unclutter the p.s of the bay as i need the room for intake piping, afm and pod to help my idle problem without a EIDS thingy from HKS. It looks nicer and wont be a pain in the ass to change plugs or check packs and check base timing etc etc....

Up to 300 rwkw it is a perfectly legitimate reason to buy a Greddy plenum just for looks, as long as you don't kid yourself that you did it for any other reason.

[burko1]

ok but can anyone tell me if the standard idle control solenoid and screw on the back of a standard manifold bolts up to a greddy ?
