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...

    • Meh, At 60 years old, I have been doing dumb stuff for much longer than you mate, I am the true King And unfortunately I cannot be a maroon, as I am not brownish red As for not getting ITB's, the plenum intake will apparently show typical gains across the board and increase induction noise a bit, but, have all over less dort than ITB's Cost difference for the extra ITB dorts was significant though, the total parts for the plenum set up is "around" $2kAUD plus shipping, the ITB's were $4kAUD plus shipping, I was contemplating really hard about paying the extra $2k for all of the dorts, but weirdly, some form of common sense, from listening to the platform experts prevailed  As for the NA mod hate by some, I've had a few boosted cars, with all their inherent issues, I'm now looking at simplicity and legalities for a street car, maybe I'm just getting old, and I'm quite happy to spend some of the kids inheritance, 5kw at a time 🤣 And think of all the money I'll be saving on consumables that something with boost needs, like engines, gearboxes, diffs, clutches,  tilt trays... etc. etc. etc. 🤪
    • Haha.  I wouldn't say I am either but I've definitely been around it plenty.  I'm guessing you know the dial in is basically to make a handicap to level the playing field between racers.  The car with the slower dial in goes first and in theory if they run their dial in time and the faster car also does then they cross the finish time if they also have exactly the same reaction time - if you go faster than the dial in them you lose, but if you are too slow there's a good chance the other person will get to the finish line first. I'm normally supporting other cars but they were all pretty dialled and were egging me on to race as well, here's one of the cars I tune (Starlet) which ran within like 1 hundredth of its dial in through the competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inEBu-d9Gn4&t=69s
    • Where ever the fuel reg gets it reference is what I use to T into for map reference been a very long time so where it goes to plenum/runners I have no idea but never had issues. 
    • What ecu? Same shop every time? Same ambient temperature? If timing is correct then pull plugs and see if lean or rich. Dyno can also read different if they have changed ramp rate or not set tacho/speed properly  
    • I've never done dial in's just straight up, whatever that's called. I'm far from a drag (racing ) expert.
