6 is better

Hi .

what is it of the better surge tank (plenum) Intake manifold )) for the big single turbo 76 mm (ITS) ?

OR 6 throttle body better or single throttle body for big single turbo to RB26 DETT & better CFM ?

GREDDY,, JUN etc .. any mark ?

((((6 is better ? why? ))))

Thanks .

this is getting difficult to understand.

6 throttle bodies (or in your case surge tank/plenum) is better for response. standard RB plenums are supposedly quite good standard

lol :thumbsup:

this is good .

and if not it RB26DETT standard engine( strokerkit 2.8 HKS) with big single turbo 76mm ???

single throttle body or 6 throttle ? and why ?

thanks every body ....

with 6, pressure builds up in the plenum and is evenly distributed into cylinders when valves open. with a single, when the valve opens up it has to fill the plenum first and equalize pressure along all six inlets. with big turbo applications this is not really a problem because of the high pressure the turbo is pumping out. but for a more mild setup, or most setups, having a single throttle will mean less response. overall the reasoning behind using a single is to reduce turbulence and it would most definentally flow better for high hp apps.

youll notice most single throttle body applications have a huge ass turbo sitting on the other side of the engine. usually a 1000hp thing imo.

Thank you very much for this beautiful and cogent reply :P;)

    • I buy my wheel cleaner in 4 litre bottles now. Euro brakes are brutal
    • Sounds like it may all just be some baseless outrage stoked by the carexplore guy? As in the linked social media outrage on facebook just goes back to carexplore as a source again. Further shown by the council response that nothing actually has changed: "The Private Land Use Permit has been part of the Casey Community Local Law for a number of years. It's important to clarify that this permit is not new, and no changes have been made to the permit or the Local Law in relation to the permit." The full council response in Prank's link sounds reasonable to me. Saying that as someone who neither lives there nor has a front yard to call their own  
    • Clutch hydraulics are also all good, looks like a brand new slave cylinder and everything bled up well. No idea what the actual clutch is, and I don't intend to pull the box off on the floor to find out, so unless we have trouble on the dyno or at shakedown that will remain a mystery for the new owner
    • Front brakes are G4 8 pot calipers over 330mm discs with braided lines. Everything looks good, pretty sure these are off my old 350. Pads are brand new and judging from gold colour are Winmax which is what I also run on my race car, Neil and I both sourced brake stuff from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney who really knows his stuff Everything has bled up nicely with all new Motul RBF600 fluid, there were 2 loose hard line connections and the calipers were new on the car so I ended up doing it 3 times but it is perfect now
    • So, starting with the rear brakes. They look like standard R33 GTST, and will need new pads shortly (less than 5mm material, probably only 1 day left). The slotted discs (probably DBA) are near new at 18.01mm and the lines are braided
