Hi all,

Just want to know if anyone has used the forward facing plenums off ebay and what the quality is like?

Also was there many mods to get them to fit?

Would it be better to go say a plazman or a RIPS one from new zealand?post-42704-1196716965_thumb.jpg

That what they look like if your not sure what i mean any info would be great.

Thanks Guys and Girls

i have personally talked to the people on ebay selling this one he said the only modification is you have to bed the water pipe and showed me where on a pic. then about a week later he is selling the plenums with the modified water pipes. i currently dont have the money to shell out for one of these. a buddy of mine bought one of the jun ripoff ones from ebay not from pnt_performance and he said it costed another 1200 to have a shop modify it to make it work. its up to you if you wanna try it. i would personally buy from pnt_performance when im ready to purchase my manifold tho. unless the ausies have some proven aftermarket ones that are redily availiable and they know from expierience they are good.

Unless your planning on making 300rwkw from your RB20 then a front facing plenum provides no gains.

I mean it does give you minimal if any top end... But it has been proven time and time again that a front facing plenum on an RB20 actually hinders the response/what little low down the car has.

IMO your money could be spent else where.

Thanks guys,

I will be aiming for 300at the treads i did a head gasket in it and im pulling the engine out and giving her some forgies ive got a bigger hyper gear turbo for her and some nismo injectors and going to put tomei cams in it.

The main reason i want to get rid of the cross over is the space issue it looks neater and the pipes dont pass the engine twice the less pipe and bends the better.

I reckon the "power gains" are all ass dribble too, I just loved the bling factor and I wanted short ass intercooler piping and what not.

I can change injectors with ease now (not that I plan to change them often), and spark plugs don't require me to move intercooler piping, bov etc. Last but not least it looks the business.

Call it wank factor, Call it what you want. At the end of the day each to their own :cheers:

At least its not a claim from WA....where they get 220rwkw out of stock RB20DET injectors, and 200rwkw out of stock silvertop RB20DET turbos....

I was making 205rwks from stock injectors and AFM and you only have to read through a few threads here with people pushing 200+ from stock injectors.

Sure its not healthy hence me going 550's and a Z32 with the new set up ;)

Dont waste your time and money on a forward facing plenum if you ask me, there are 1000000 of people running the stock plenum with big numbers and no problems with clearance issues.

If you are going to run one then do yourself a favour and talk to Kemp :rofl:

LOL....Just gotta finish the cooler piping (waiting on my stainless pipes) then its time to wire the E-Manage and start the bugger (I dont think the std computer will like the Z32 AFM and 550cc injectors too much) :P

I will be aiming for 300at the treads

i personally wouldnt be looking at a plenum i would be looking for a different engine

any turbo u put on a RB20 to try and make 300kw is going to be laggy as hell

ive got a 2L sr20 making over 300kw and it still spools up faster then any RB20 making near 300kw

legend01 makes 301kw atw from memory using a GT3040 and stock cross over pipe

then again it is a rb21.

im using a custom top half (not a cut and shut) with stock runners.

1st off though buy a garrett or trust turbo, rather than spending the money on a fancy plenum.

      Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy.

      The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.

      Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
