No. Not really as it only the top half that has been change. Simply the volume.

The runners are exactly the same, only this is better as it can now get more flow due to the pure size and 80mm throttle body. And this was built by someone who knows the ins and outs.

Size doesn't mean better flow, by someone who knows do you mean someone with an engineering degree? Theres a lot of maths in designing runners and a plenum to suit.

id like to say to say its good to finally see someone put this to the tests and see actual results not "my auntys dogs cousins sister said that her friends sisters boyfreind tried this and it was crap or......it made 1 million kw on 2psi with this being the only upgrade" lol. will be following your results goodluck

lol :teehee: ^^

everyone seems to be against "test and trail" of these plenums

i say give it a go, i have one off these and im goin to post up pics

paul r33 you say "its such an integral part, it would be like using fake chinese injectors

do you really want to risk it ?" yet paul is goin to modify a ecu the main brains of any rb and noone is against him..

i say keep up yet the test of the plenum lets see results and if it brakes and blows the motor than we knwo not to use them ...

At this stage im going to have to say I think im out of testing at the moment as i cannot locate a flow bench for starters, plus with cams on the way and isl33ps' plenum looking so tempting for something that has been tested flow benched and is much closer even between cyls and flows a fair amount of air for the right price, I dont know if i can resist in not accepting that, so at this stage i have to say "its a nay" How bout you teazn did you end up testing it???

i have not tested it but i have finished it very strong very smooth f**k the test ill compair it to my last dyno run willi have a flow bench here but mine is on the car cbf taking it off where you located ? can get it done if you want

I have a Greddy Copy eBay special.

Checked out the inside and it all looks very simetrical, only rough bit was ONE of the ports (but anyone who is holding the manifold in their hands and doesnt port match it should be shot).

Exterior was rough (but the original greddy's arent too smooth either) but nothing some time and patience couldnt fix. If your buying this for bling factor your a bloody idiot (i purchased it as im sick of having unnecesary pipework everywhere in my already limited space... RB25DET in a S13)

Fitted.... No leaks... works fine....

You dont always "get what you pay for", you also ALOT of the time pay for the brand name.

Some one flow test these thing DOOOO ITTTT!!!!

I'm really keen to see the results, i'm planning to use one on my rb when i turbo it, mainly for the piping route.

If this is just a direct mould of the real greddy item with some rough edges, with a bit of cleaning up theres no reason why it shouldnt be just as good as the "real thing". If the greddy manifold has such a good rep without the velocity stacks, then i cant see a reason why a copy with a bit of time spent on it cant flow just as evenly.

There is no point flow testing it, each one of these manifolds i have seen are different in one way or another, clean it up and it will be fine, internals were all good.

I'm rehashing this thread.

HOW/WHERE on earth do you plumb the AAC valve into ?

Yes, I know it bolts to the bottom of the plenum, but the black hose, that normally runs to the I/C pipe just before the throttle body - where does that go? Is everyone making up custom ones? Or just putting a breather on it?

Anyone have any REAL pics of the full plenum install?

you need to hook up a line to the IC piping before the TB so as to allow measured air into the system.

The Copy inlets do need to use the R33 AAC, but it's not as easy as just bolting it in.

RE Customs has done A JUN copy plenum suited to an R33 GTS-T and it works, but I'm not sure of the ins and outs of it.

Maybe you need to call Ray....

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If you want to do a single throttle body conversion easily, you won't need to pull anything apart. Take the linkage from your throttle off the linkage controlling the ITBs. Now open the ITBs wide open, and lock the linkages in said position. Now add a single throttle body onto the front of your inlet plenum. No it's not ideal for the last nth of a kw, but it'll be a lot better than what you're already trying to do...   PS, ITBs can be so damn hard to tune from, because roughly 20% movement in a throttle body equates to a change in roughly 80% of its flow (Hence power). When you add up the flow limitations of those small throttle bodys, it is a LOT higher than that of a single large throttle. Hence, TPS is very very sensitive with them, and you do a LOT of work with sensor fusion, and some Maths behind the scenes to make those blends nice, and be smooth.

      Yep, when Haltech purchased Adaptronic, and all of the Adaptronic staff, including Andy went with it, it took Haltech to the next level. Haltech wanted Adaptronic as they wanted things like Andy's fuel models, and some other IP, AND they wanted Andy too as he is brilliant! Andy has spoken about the incompatibilities between the old 1500 stuff vs Nexxus, and it totally makes sense. It's not JUST software that is different, there is huge changes in the underlying hardware too. It's why Haltech has had soooo many changes in the last couple of years, in terms of Hardware, and Software, and why it has become so damn Amazing. Why do you think guys like Rob Dahm with his quad rotor, went from running Adaptronic's to running Haltechs? Andy. Pretty much, Haltech these days, is Adaptronic, but with more funds behind it, and more staff, and hence Andy's visions, and visions of other people that he helps shape their great visions, into amazing new products. All the new Nexxus gear, whole new software for it, new and better dashboards, the apps that will run on headunits and NOT be slow to respond! I understand people being burnt in the past, but if you're ragging on a company, about products and issues from many years ago, it's more a reflection on yourself, not looking or keeping up with new stuff. In which case, those people should be going back to PowerFC and Nistunes as the ECU's to rave on about...

      Right, but I thought the problem has been for a while now that even if you know manifold pressure + throttle position you still have non-linearity and aliasing issues vs actual engine load? One way I can see things simplifying is going DBW, then all air going into the engine is represented by the throttle position. As opposed to a random bimetallic strip vaguely linked to engine temperature opening and closing a shutter or some random power steering air valve suddenly allowing a bunch of bypass air. But the same throttle position/RPM at ~atmospheric MAP in different gears is not guaranteed to be same engine load? Honestly, ITBs are of such dubious value IMO. I don't know why these things are hyped up so much. The main benefit as far as I can tell is you reduce the likelihood of cross-cylinder EGR scavenging with significant cam overlap at idle. I would absolutely run speed density and be done with it if not for this fairly esoteric control problem.

      Alarm/immobiliser recomendations for an R33

      By PotatoCake · Posted

      Hah dont worry, my adult brain has this conversation every single day. Dont waste your money, invest more of it into shares, pay down the mortgage. Then the bedtime insta doom scrolling begins and after being bombarded with gtr's my mind is set: im definitely getting one! I have the current model mx5 as the weekender, but i just miss my boost and literally like your username, the sututu's that come with it. I remember with my 2nd supra, as it had twins and vvti, they used to spool real early, like 1,500rpm so you could just be a spooly boy all day long. Some people say they get over it after a while, not me tho.

      If you need to refinance your mortgage and reset the loan terms back to 30 years and cash out on your equity for "investment" purposes *cough* car parts, I can help 😊
