Hi Everyone,

Does anyone have any info/suggestions with regards to the standard intake plenum I have on my R33 GTS-T with the piping running over the motor to the throttle body.

Which of the following options would be best?

1) Aftermarket plenum (e.g. Greddy). I know that I can get one delivered for just over $1000

2) GTR plenum...is this possible? if so what other parts would need changing to make it fit? What would the cost be?

3) Have the throttle body location moved on the standard plenum? Is this possible? What would the cost be?

...or is the standard plenum fine as is running the piping over the engine from the front mount and spend the money on something else? I am looking at getting power up to 300rwkw, and thought that the heat caused by running the piping over the motor would not be as good as having the piping running straight up to the throttle body like the GTR.

Any info/help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Did you try searching the forum?

I think sydneykid mentioned the stock plenum was good to a specific power figure but I can't recall the figure.

Ed, after a bit of searching with different search criteria, I came across the thread you were mentioning. Sydney kid mentions the standard plenum can cope with up to 450hp without restriction...not sure if this is crank or atw.

So I can definitely forget the aftermarket plenum and stick with standard. :D spend the money on other things for the car instead.

What about the piping? Will the piping to the standard throttle body position get in the way of a high mount GT35R?

The 180 degree bend at the throttle body style of pipework is the go.

I have a picture of a car fitted with the 180 degree pipework and a high mount, but this new forum is taking some time to get used to.

:D cheers :P

Hey SK, thanks for the pic...looks like it should shorten the pipe a fair bit and looks good to. Was that custom piping made by anyone in particular?

Thanks,

JB

side note, you dont need a GT35 to make 300.. its overkill.  :)

I was also looking at a GT30R with a .82 A/R...may still go for this instead of the 35R. ;) cant wait to start working on it all but will have to wait another year. Then I will give it some attention. :)

Just letting you know thats a Hypertune/Performance manufacturing piping kit.

They have moved from inside the same building as where plazmaman is, but they are now down at Tarin Point.

They will also be doing a plenum for the RB25 very shortly wich replaces the inlet runners.

These are the guys that did all our piping on our GTR.

Give then a call

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
