Finally fitted the plenum to my car. It went on the same time as a Hybrid intercooler kit, and GFB plub back BOV.

It was a bit of a drama to fit, but I think it was well worth it in the end.

Here's a couple of pics:

It definitely doesn't feel any laggier than before. The large throttle body does make it feel more responsive, as it now takes less throttle position to have the same effect as the stock one.

Hopefully I'll have it on the dyno (to get re-tuned) sometime this week, so I'll let you know what numbers it puts down.

Interesting throttle body, where did you pick that up from?

I purchased it as a package (along with the plenum) on ebay. I had my choice of 80mm, 90mm or 100mm!!! I decided to go for the 80mm option, as the others seemed like overkill for the power output I'm after.

The car seems to be idling and starting better than it did with the standard throttle body. So I have no complaints.

I've had a read through the 'how to' guide for the Greddy copy plenum, and it seems like the issues I had to overcome on fitting this plenum, are very similar to what he had to go through when fitting the Greddy one.

I highly recommend this plenum and throttle body as an alternative to Greddy's plenum (or copy).

Did you have to muck about to fit the tps or did it bolt up? I've seen the TB's on ebay and often wondered if it would work

Very interested to see a before and after dyno.

Yeah we did have to modify the TPS, as the one I was sent suits other Nissan models (like pulsar) but not mine. I emailed the guy about it, and he said it was his mistake for not asking what engine model I have - so he's sending out the correct one.

Will post up the dyno results later this week (if I can get in to see the tuner).

Unfortunately I wasn't able to get in to see the tuner this week, and I'm going away for work this weekend, so I won't be able to get it re-tuned for a while.

What I can say though, is that I have gained some low end torque (which was completely unexpected)... My GT-RS now builds positive boost at just below 2000 rpm (in the taller gears) - about 500 rpm earlier than with the standard plenum. Even without the re-tune, this plenum is an awesome improvement.

I know of a certain 2JZ with a KU engineering Plenum and TB making 430rwkw, And a GTR that went 2seconds faster a lap (Mallala) after installing one. I am also looking at using one for my RB31DETT.

FYI

RB20, RB25 use the std runners

RB26 have KU Engineering cast runners to replace the throotle bodies

Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been unable to get on here for the last 6 months or so...

When the car was dyno tuned, it made 240 rwkw at 17psi - Which should equate to about 260rwkw on Unique Autosports dyno. As with my previous dyno tune when I went from my tuners dyno to the Dyno day at Unique it made about 10% more power.

It is a dream to drive, even on low boost (12psi) the car is a missile. I would recommend this upgrade to anyone.

If you use msn his email address is: [email protected] and his name is Jack, I bought my rb20 intake firstcly with him he also supplied me with a rb26 fuel rail and custom adapters to suite the rb20 mounts.

Nice guy pleasure to deal with :D

hey guys sorry for bringing up an old thread but I've done some searching on here and I didn't want to pester everyone by kicking up another new thread.

I asked about a greddy style plenum on here not too long back - I got a reply from a company called performance-wise. I've dealt with this chap a few years ago and bought a PowerFC for my first 33gtst at a great price.

anyhow I got a pm for a greddy style plenum from this chap - I tried putting up the pic but it wont let me strangely so here's a link...

$460 shipped from uk - seems like a great price but my question is would it cause any issues? I've heard all kinds of thoughts on proper Greddy/Trust ones vs copies. I have to say I doubt theres any blinking difference, but seeing as you guys have tinkered with these cars over there far more than us backyard enthusiasts have here.

I'd appreciate your thoughts on this - I cant afford a true Trust/Greddy one (are they the same company?) so a copy would have to do but would I be looking at any tinkering/butchering to get it to fit?

thanks!

so its been a couple of years now and i am curious to see how many people run these plenums now

it seems they are also catering for neo engines which is good as genuine and fake greddys do not alot neo owners to use all the standard idle control etc

any updates would be awesome!

I running one now, and a guy around the corner from me was running one on his 25/30 and the guys at EFI in QLD were suprised at how much torque it was making. He selling it and a throttle body too suit in the for sale thread is anyone wants one.

    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day. 
    • It's all the sound deadening, and extra shit piled into them, plus all the extra (even though it's thinner) material for crumple zones. I can't fathom in modern cars why they need canbus to the headlights, and why the headlights must be vin coded on some cars to the ECU, BCM, and security module! Especially when they claim it's for security, yet, the canbus at the headlights let's thieves steal the car in minutes, so even more cars are being stolen! The Mercedes Sprinter 907 vans. They're a huge van, but a "basic" van. Yet they have that many canbus networks, plus two Lin networks, AND an Ethernet network. Logging a single network alone of 8 byte data frames, and they will generate a 20mb log file in 5 minutes. That's one network, and I can't remember the exact amount, but there's over 10 full CAN2.0B networks in them. I'm not a fan of modern cars, oddly, more and more I hate DBW, and all the bullshittery the cars try and interfere with. But all that bullshittery adds weight, plus crazy regulations on crumple zones, plus, ever picked a modern seat up, half of them have like 4 electric motors in them and will weigh 30+kg each. Then all the motors for things like adjustable steering columns blah blah blah. And did I mention the sound deadening so you can even hear an ambulance right behind you even if you 7.2surround sound is off?
    • Ah ok, yeah it should be flat, I believe the r34 battery tray has these 3 bumps in them they makes it line up and everything is flat, don't see how it would tilt if everything is secured.
    • Agreed it actively wants to kill you which I love driving fast cars slow is my stick
    • Awesome! I was thinking S14 since they are longer. I'll give those a shot. Thanks for the input!
