This way you don't have to block off any pipes. Just remember to mount the bleed valve so its the highest spot on the cooling system.

Are 1 & 3 the wrong way around?

On mine the turbo water line that comes through the stock plenum goes to 3 on the bleed valve.

just did this having some problems with boost......http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Put-Greddy-Copy-Manifol-t250499.html&gopid=4339490#entry4339490

hey guys! top write up by the way.

i want to do this for my first big task for 2009. will probably get the kit from Just Jap.

i want to keep my plum back BOV...how did anyone do the recirc piping???i will also keep the heating of the throttle body...will do extra piping for that.

any other tips?

how did you gouys do the piping through the side wall instead of moving the water container???

also do you loose midrange by going with this plenum??? i have heard that might happen....obviously you gain top end a little.

my main purpose of doing this is to just neaten the engine bay and get more response... i love response!

looking at doing this on my new stag just to clear up the engine bay and shorten the intercooler piping... has anyone completed this on a neo rb25?? if so, was it much different?? did you use the standard TB or get one of those 80mm ones?? thanks guys

I used the stock plumback BOV. Don't know if that's the best place to put it. But it works.

so i bought the bullet and mine will be arriving inthe next few days...bought the vulture motorsport one...$535 including shipping and throttlebody adaptor...will keep you posted.

hey guys, i have received my plenum and i have some questions for those who have done this...

whith the water inlet/outlet pipe: does the pipe insert into the plenum with ease or was it very hard to insert? mine seems to be quite easy to insert and hence would require some kind of sealant... if this is how it is, what sealant did you use?

yeah it gets to the end and just stops. hitting it in wont help/happen. i might weld it in...keep you all postred with pics.

i'm also going to make myown throttle adaptor...

Yours from Vulture Motorsports as well? Just use lots of gasket maker to seal up the water thing.

What's the quality of your runners and water galleries? I was on the die grinder for a couple of hours making sure it matched the head gasket.

quality of casting on the manifold seems to be quite good, need better pics of a greddy to compare. i have yet to take my current stock manifold off to compare the gasket to the vulture plenum. i am hoping is close or spot on...don't really feel like grinding...

mine came with a so called stock throttle adaptor but was made completely wrong. i am having mine milled down as we speak. the thing i have an issue is that on the manifold, they haven't spent anytime milling out where all the bolts go so when you put a bolt through the whole, neither the head of the bolt nor the washer will sit flat...

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
