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

    • I know why it happened and I’m embarrassed to say but I was testing the polarity of one of the led bulb to see which side was positive with a 12v battery and that’s when it decided to fry hoping I didn’t damage anything else
    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
