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.

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 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 :P

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.:)

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
