how much would it cost to have a 3l rb30 block reco'd and dropped onto the bottom of the rb25, i think it may be possible for $1000 ish. depdnds on how much labour you can do yourself but that will certainly increase power everywhere and give good cains

because they believe marking crap or have money to burn?

there may be some gains by using individual throttle bodies but $1000+ worth? surely you can get more power gains overall by spending the $1000 better ways

as i said above, its not a power gain but a responds gain. Also each to there own, the thread is asking about plenum upgrades not if he should spend 1k on a plenum or other mods.

and "making crap", thats ur own Opinion, doesnt mean its correct

again just my 2cents

Im personally in the process of having a GReddy plenum fitted. the main reason to justify this:

stock plenum/piping positioning look shitty and dodgy and are a major headache to move everytime you wish to change plugs or get under them.

i think for that reason alone it is worth the $1000

OK did a bit of research...and it seems that its not Blitz that make these kits but Ricoh Racing..

here is the translated link...

halfway down the page it says in broken english that the CPU will have to be reprogrammed or something...this shouldnt be a problem with the power fc right ?

This is the style of pipework we use a lot on RB25's when using a cross flow (non return) style of intercooler. We have seen 265 rwkw using this pipework, which is getting close to my rule of thunmb limit for an internally standard RB25DET (ie; 450 bhp)

This is a Zeni Tani built RB25DET with similar pipework and a high mount turbo, before it left Japan it made 500 ps. So there is plenty of flow in the standard RB25DET plenum and inlet manifold.

:D cheers :D

PS; all of these designs are based on the Gibson R31 GTSR, which was the first I had seen and it obviously worked.

go team rice... :lol:

and are a major headache to move everytime you wish to change plugs or get under them.

it's like 5 minutes and handfull of bolts and clamps.

you need more practice my young apprentice..

anyway, how does that style piping work for the neo with that big arse second throttle type thing?

none of those pics seem to have it..

or is that the TCS that was mentioned?

there may be plenty of flow, but imagine what the engine would do with a better flowing plenum. of course it will continue to flow if yu keep on throwing more boost at it, but at what stage does it become less restrictive than a aftermarket plenum is the question that no-one can answer.........yet

its just like changing a intercooler, the stock one might go alright, but imagine what you would do with a decent cooler.

and for $ i am charging i definately not running a workshop. i work from my small double garage in my villa and clock up some serious k's to get everything done right by the best people at the right price.

you would be surprised how much time and money i spend on my plenums, especially considering how much they sell for. people are always telling me to put the prices up, but i have resisted for the time being.

Having seen your work and prices I am looking forward to getting one of your plenums for my RB25 s13 and one for my old mans supra.

On the s13, you need to change the plenum to shut the bonnet.......

p.s Ariel, I will sort payment out soon and send runners over from the uk

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.

      Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.

      Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:

      Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"

      But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
