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.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Any number of different ways. Have the coils draw sufficient current to provide contact wetting. Use different contacts in the switch, either by material or design, better suited to the low current drawn by a relay coil. Etc.

      Hmm, how does the R34 manage to have headlight relays then without getting excessive carbon buildup on the headlight switch contacts?

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I was poking through the R34 wiring diagrams vs R33 and noticed that the R34 has proper headlight relays while the R33 is like the R32 and sends full headlight power through the headlight switch. I'm not afraid of wiring but I really would like to do this in a way that looks OEM (clipping into open positions on the OEM relay box) and also unlike the factory wiring which interlocks the high beam and low beam on the halogen series 1 GTR headlights I want to make it such that turning on the high beams keeps the low beams on as well. Any advice on how to locate the specific connectors + crimp terminals + relays I need? I was thinking one NO relay for low beams and another for combined high + low running off the factory high beam headlight connector. I don't really want to splice into a crusty old probably discontinued factory harness so fully reversible is my goal here.
