Question About Fm Plenum And Fmic

[mr moo]

i'm soon to be getting a fmic and wondering if is it worth getting a frount mount plenum at the same time or leave the stock one as it is.would like to know about airflow better or worse and temparture change does it keep it cooler as it's not going over the engine or will it stay the same temp.also what brand and cost would i be lokking at for an rb25det

cheers any help would be muchly appreciated

I made 270rwkw on pulp using the stock item.

Great response, no issues

There is a LOT of info regarding the viability of plenums etc.

However, in my opinion (as with after market exhaust manifolds) i feel the money can be spent elsewhere long before the need for a plenum has arisen.

a mate just installed one of their plenum and piping kits for RB25, one of the best looking product i've seen.

Use the original plenum and heat wrap the piping from the cool side of the intercooler to the plenum. Works an absolute treat in keeping temperature down. Forward facing plenum IMO is really pretty pointless "wank" factor sort of execise. I would really only use one in the case of a conversion where motor height was an issue. However I have heard of the Greddy one making some minor gains but again its not really worth it for the price. As R31nismoid said money can be spent a lot better elsewhere

[mr moo]

yeah loking at about 3200 for kit which includes fmic,plenum,gaskets etc i can think of a lot of other stuff to spend the money on

might just try the heat wrap first

thanks for the replys

contact Ariel@cpc plenums, he is ISL33P on these forums, he made my plenum and it has 80mm billet throttle body, with the bigger turbo its alot more responsive, and flows exceptionally well, and wasnt that expensive either
