Hey guys, Ive done a bit of searching through different forums including this one and cant really find any info on these plenums. They appear to be good quality, have velocity stacks inside the chamber and are nowhere as cheap as greddy copies!

Just wondering if anyone has used one of these on their rb25, wat the quality is like, performance, etc. Currently deciding whether or not to buy a genuine greddy plenum or one of these as i can purchase with a 90mm throttle body for 1g. Thanks for any input you can provide!

this was covered on the greddy copy thread they are not as good as they look id go ahead with the greddy for that tiny bit extra i have a greddy copy and it is good but i suggest you not go for one of these

they dont look anywhere near as bad as the greddy style ones, ive been contemplating..

if u look at the rb20 ones u will see its the plenum with standard runners welded on, suppose u have to remember the postage is another $175 on top.

pretty sure those JUN copies are made in Thailand or Taiwan... cant remember...

Greenline sell the genuine Greddy ones for $885 so just go with that. Atleast its a proven Japanese brand and you will be supporting the company who has ACTUALLY come up with the design and done the research and development...

I concure....looks better than the greddy knock off.

But then again..they could show you a Jun one and give you one of theirs..... >_<

I had one of these jun copies installed on my rb20det. It looked to me like the standard runners had been welded on... it was a very good plenum and even used velocity stacks.

but for a couple of hundred or so extra, would be good to go a genuine greddy...

There's another jun copy thats a larger version.

I've seen the larger rb20det jun copy plenum. Its quality was actually pretty damn good. Velocity stacks inside, welding was clean; no noticable seat of the pants loss of down low but a hell of a lot more up top.

It wasn't a 'bolt on' and required a few mods to get it all working.

Also.. $700 is a bit rich. They can be had for $400ish.

yeah, look at JET200 (ignition DVD project car) it had a millenium motorsports custom plenum on it, replaced it with a GREDDY one and bang .... more power everywhere low, mid and top..... there is a lot more to plenums than just a pretty weld job....

I received my plenum (with 80mm throttle body) about a week ago, it definitely looks the part, and the workmanship is top-notch.

I'm fitting it to the car in two weeks time, so I will let you know how it goes.

    • You will need to extend the turbo inlet pipe somehow, which could/might be done with silicone/rubber pipe, but might need steelwork, depending on your intake. And you will need to change the pipework on the outlet in teh same way, but this is more likely to need steelwork.
    • I see... Any idea how much fab work is required? I note the Hygear megathread but its like 900 pages
    • I should try the experiment you're talking about, the throttle switch is still there carried over from the R32 and it's still all wired up but after I did the whole intake manifold refurb and had to recalibrate the TPS I managed to somehow get the idle switch reporting activation at 0.22V, then when I adjusted it to 0.45V for idle it decided the engine was permanently no longer idling which caused some very weird behavior, closed loop idle was disabled so it would basically be at the whims of the cold start valve and whatever the base timing table was at. Then just unplugging/replugging the TPS with the ECU live caused it to relearn the idle TPS position and decide 0.45V was idle. Presumably there's nothing in the TPS that allows for the throttle switch to "recalibrate" like that, not easily at least.
    • Duh... to answer my own silly question, it's actually described in the FSM... ...400 pages away at the end of the manual, for RB25DE/DET signal descriptions, it cites the TPSwitch signal action, is dependent on the TPSensor value ~ this tends to infer the builtin POT voltage signal is the primary, and the switches are fallback/secondary should the POT fail/TPSensor signal lost (and switch alone with no TPSensor signal allows for base idle speed setting).... makes sense... they (TPS units) used to fail/wear the POT with time, they're not exactly built to last ~ having the switch as a redundancy gets around this...(or, it's less likely both signals would be lost as they're on different power rails)... and of course wrt RB26DETT, you have to electrically disconnect the IACV solenoid from the harness, to defeat idle air control...  
    • Dose is unaware just how much fun 145-150kw would be in a 2.5L NC MX5. It would be one of the most fun things to drive to ever grace SAU.
