Intake Plenum Question

[HypeR33]

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.

I beleive the figure was to 300kw. Not sure if it was atw or fly.

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. 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.

cheers

wow, does the stock bonnet still clear that pipe work?!

Easily, the pipework is no higher than standard.

cheers

plazmaman IC kits have pipework with this bend. as SK say it fits easily.

I'd ceramic coat the pipe for insulation, it makes a difference

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,

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

And yeah, stocker is fine. Im using it along with most other owners

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
