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;)

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
