The plenum is sitting at WA customs as we speak while they sort out value of/tax/GST so don't think you are not going to get stopped.

As I said anything from Japan performance related is being scrutinised.

LOL!! - ok i've decided to not go with the purchase of the plenum as $1500 could be put to better use else where. Now all i'm searching for is 300-350 wrhp out of a RB25DET which is fitted into a S13 silvia - (to much hp will be crazy) - mods already fitted will be a Wolf 3D, 3" stainless zaust, pod (typical - lol), FMIC, and Bosch 044 pump ;)

what would the next best mod using about $1500 to get me to my goal of 300 - 350 wrhp?

cheers

the combo youve described above should get you close to 300 in a skyline. assuming the drivetrain losses are the same you should be nearly there.

you'll be struggling to get more than that out of the standard turbo though.

s/hand t3/4??

either way, I would like a ride in a 350 rwhp silvia.

the notion that nissan spent years pondering the best way to extract small HP improvements and maximum flow from their plenums is just ridiculous. The factory plenum is designed to be as cheap as possible to manufacture, whilst still performing the job adequately for purpose - i.e. low boost road use applications.

Why is a forward facing plenum included on everything *except* the gts-t then? Even Nissans 'budget' CA18DET and SR20DET motors include one. So its basically not cost. I'd say its just efficiency and suit for purpose as stock, and as people are saying - you're not probably going to notice the gains on a fairly stock setup. Start shoving more boost in, flowing more air into the inlets, and then it might become an issue if the chambers are restrictive.

From what i've seen/read it really becomes a gainer *after* you've stepped up to bigger turbo land. But every little bit helps along the way.

when i was at speedworks i saw a lancer that had just had the intake manifold changed. from something standard to a jun one. runing only 1.2 bar boost it make 80 ps more than when it was running 1.7 bar. even aj at speedworks couldn't beleive the results. i think it simply proves how much extra power can be tuned from a car with high quality parts.

having a better plenium will make a difference, less restriction at higher flow lets the cylinder pressures go higher at lower boost. how ever if you dont have a bigger turbo, fmic and management i wouldnt c you could actually utilize this item. if you do have these items

im yet to look at the internals of the greddy plenum, i would like to do this before i decide weather its worth making my own from scratch or purchasing one of these. if i can design and build this from scratch with no real problems i might consider making more. how ever i need to put more reserch into this before i start. anyone whom could help with any info i might need i would love to hear from you.

    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
