i have been doing a little bit of looking around for bolt on mods for a NEO RB25DET and came across the plazmaman inlet plenum which u can by with a throttle body and intercooler as a whole kit for about $3000 (thats the competition spec cooler and billet T/B) cheaper coolers available and an R33 T/B would fit. i was just hoping if anybody could tell me if they thought that this plenum ( you use the stock runners etc) would rival the GREDDY manifold. they also make a great looking Stagea specific cooler.

im a bit pissed of that i will have to sacrifice my traction control to do this but thems the breaks.

why on earth would i say that if i did this mod i would loose my traction control if i didnt have it in the first place. well know tha we have sorted out that little fact could someone please give some sort of feedback regarding the actual post which was about inlet manifolds.

cheers

where would i find the traction controll unit, fuse or what not if mine has it? (s2 rs4 s 98)

when i dump the clutch off the line it just wont spin em up but i thought it may just be my weak clutch or too much traction.

I suppose my question would be- can the $3000 odd be better spent on other mods for the car?

sorry but I am completely unfamiliar with what mods you have already

if that new plenum and TB is going to give you the power you need ( as you have all the other supporting mods already - ie after market ecu or bigger injectors etc ) then yeah go for it

but if there are other things you can spend $$ on then I would go with that

ie - just dont get it if its for looks/bling

my main reason for this is that i hate the throttle body and intercooler piping assembly going over the top of the motor when it can be moved quite easily. i realise a just jap bolt in cooler is only $500 bucks that uses the original return pipe but i just dont like it and that's it. i have a pretty stock car at the moment but it's not going to stay the way for much longer so i thought kill a few birds with stone or 3000 of them any way. cooler t/b and a good flowing manifold that will all bolt in without major modification and give great overall response and hp gain with head room for more modifications down the track. they guys at plazmaman advised me that the Greddy manifold is really only good for drag racing (WOT) due to its short runner design. well if i go through with it i will let u guys know about the results before and after any other modifcations.

RS4's dont have traction control due to them being AWD. mine is only RWD like a GTST R34 therfore it has traction control.

Please tell me when you find one, I have used lots of brands and styles since 1999 and haven't found one yet that does all of that. I am currently using a cheap China GReddy copy on the basis that If I have to make mods to get it to work properly I might as wll start off with a cheap one. But that still requires washer bottle relocation, cutting a 75 mm hole in the inner guard and making a throttle cable adaptor the same as the original GReddy. So it's hardly "bolt on".

If you have no intention of upgrading the internals, then the best manifold is the standard one. Everything else that I have tried loses power and response and has issues with distribution.

Cheers

Gary

      Shifting questions

      Those 2 solenoids in that assembly I mention, are the PWM solenoids for torque converter lock-up clutch & EPC (line pressure control) ~ when most folks hear of 'solenoid failure', the tendency is to think electrical failure...but fact of the matter is, especially wrt the EPC solenoid (which is moving/running all the time), you can have an electrically 'good' solenoid, that's absolutely broken/worn out mechanically inside...ie; valve plunger return spring rubbing against spring retainer plate, lowering preload pressure.. ...and the solenoid armature extension limit spring wafer with bad wear/broken off petals... ...and if there's ever been any metal flying about, damage to the valve plunger end itself... ...the stuff one never really sees, unless you go the whole 10yards trying to answer the question "why is my line pressure screwy, but TCU isn't flagging any EPC solenoid fault?"...and carefully dissect the solenoid. Worst (and most probable) scenario is when the plate spring petals break off, they get held by the magnetic flux, get mashed up by the armature into little bits, which end up in the space between the armature & shading core bore, and things get stuck or randomly jam up, and your line pressure goes flat and doesn't change...and the TCU never sees it, as it doesn't actively monitor LP... ..then it gets into insidious land, if you end up with lower than expected line pressure...lets say high clutch..and the lower pressure causes it to slip ~ when I say 'slip', think say 2000rpm on the drive plates, and 1800rpm on the driven plates, because the slip is making them under-rotate by 200rpm ; you get all the usual nasties like heat and band/clutch wear, but even if it's only 20rpm slip the same thing happens...and... you'll hardly ever pick this up driving the thing with the torque converter active as it effectively masks these sorts of slippages that are line pressure related ...(the newer TCUs can detect clutch slip rate)...just  FYI as it were...

      RB20 in need of modest love injection

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys, so Golebys has good prices on Bosch injectors, and also sell an adaptor to go from 1/2 length injector to standard with the Nissan 10.5mm top seal.  Does anyone know if that adaptor is to suit the 14mm or 11mm injector tops?  And re. The bottom seal, to suit my standard RB20 intake, would I be right in saying I can just slip the 14mm square section O ring over the bottom of the new injector and done? Thanks in advance guy, Cheers, Rowdy

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      F my life. I was changing the oil on my R32 GTR today as usual and ran into a bit of a snag. I drained the oil out and was getting ready to finish the job by tightening the drain plug, however The stupid magnetic oil drain plug snapped in half, right at the magnet part. After about an hour of trying to remove it, I used a drill bit, which unfortunately pushed the magnet all the way into the pan, and just leaving the hollow threaded part of the bolt remaining. I was able to remove the hollow portion of the bolt from the oil pan with some pliers but the magnet is still in there.  So, the question is, should I drop the oil pan to get the magnet piece out, or is it okay to leave it in there? I really dont want to drop the pan, i'm about to go nuts.  PSA: Do NOT buy a BLOX magnetic drain plug. This is the one i had.    https://bloxracing.com/products/magnetic-oil-drain-plug-m12x1-25mm?variant=37131252859052&country=US&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw47i_BhBTEiwAaJfPpgti1D2JwO7TDuMpXuqeQPCuIQSAfwxpWQH5rF9MD7sm5SCZDWLR_RoC_YoQAvD_BwE

      I actually have an aftermarket hanger, the detschwerks x1 hanger, but my dw420 has never really sat in it correctly, good to know I can just modify it a bit to suit. Yeah cheers man will definitely have a play with it and hope it solves my dramas.
