No offence but that looks hideous and it's ability to flow well would be questionable.

In fact it came of an RB25DET pushing around 500rwhp

I couldnt give a shit what it looks like as long as it does its intended job.

Please justify 'questionable'?

Hi Troy, I have this conversation with many customers and we have tested both back to back to determine the pros and cons. The main difference is that the Plazmaman retains the standard runners, wher

God those throttles are gorgeous, gotta get around to getting one, would finish mine off nicely me thinks. I see that they have slighlty changed the plenum with "Plazmaman" not being engraved on the t

Lol no need to get pissed off about it, just said it looks terrible. It's not like you made it and im saying your work is shit.

Whether it made 500HP is irrelevant, you can do that on the stock plenum (for reference the Plazmaman one is rated at 1000HP worth of flow, in other words its "horsepower flow" is irrelavant.)

Its just a stock plenum that has been cut up and made into a foward facing plenum (as many people do) but he has changed the centre of it completely, however do you think it has been created to flow well and R&D put into it to flow as evenly as possible like a Plazmaman or Greddy one would? Just saying. It may flow well, it may not, hence my "questionable" comment.

All good mate no offence taken and I’m not shitty lol.

I understand everyone is entitled to their opinions however, it might pay to keep 'possibly' offensive comments to yourself. If I 'had' made it myself would you have made the same comment? Food for thought.

What I meant by "pushing around 500rwhp" is that the guy I bought it from obviously had no problems with it flowing well.

I love the pics of your engine bay and most of the way you have gone about your build but there are certain things I would have done differently. But I’m not about to start criticizing you for this.

It’s these differences that make owner/building and modifying such a personal thing and it’s what keeps forums and discussions such as these happening.

I chose to use this modified forward facing plenum as I am building/modifying on a very tight budget and cannot afford some of the more exotic items on the market. I have researched the factory modified forward facing plenum and it suits my intended build and purpose just fine especially from a budget conscious point-of-view.

I did not intend to compare my plenum to either the plazmaman or the greddy.

I was actually looking for info in regard to the benefits of using a much larger than standard throttle.

Any way back to the question.

I'm worried about the affects of turbulence as a result of interrupting laminar flow, So can anyone please tell me what the pro's and/or con's are of changing to a larger than standard throttle body?

Fair enough man. And no I would have not made the comment if you said you made it as I would not have wanted to offend your work, but since you said it was off ebay, hence I made the comment as I didn't think it mattered. All good.

do u need a retune once the plenum has been installed?

I did. I'm not sure if it's necessary ,but i went fom a return flow cooler with original plenum to a standard front mount with a forward facing plenum and i gained 13 rwhp up top.Made more power down low until 4100rpm.Then made less power until 5100rpm.After that it just pulled better nicely til 7200rpm where as before that it stopped rising in power at about 6700rpm.

Hey guys, I've got the Plasmaman plenum on my r33, came with the car when I bought it. Just took it for a dyno tune and my tuner said he doesn't like the Plasmaman plenums as they don't distribute air evenly to all cylinders. He then proceeded to show me the different colours of the plugs.

Anyone else come across this before regarding the Plasmaman plenum?

      If doing that ^, I'd take the idle up valve out and plug the hole in the pump.

      You can try capping the power steering idle up valve at both ends if it's old. The valve and the intake manifold. That is something that is known to fail in Toyotas with age and it will suck power steering fluid into the intake and burn it in the engine which can cause issues. Then bleed it again with engine off first. Do like 30+ lock to lock turns with the front wheels off the ground.

      Update:   smoke test all pipes no issues cleaned reservoir   fluid put in ( dexron 3 atf)   steering turn side to side and could hearing  gurgling from steering rack which I assumed was air lock, opened one of the steering rack connections and could see loads of air getting pushed out( not sure if you meant to do that / whether it will re introduce air into system)   anyways, loads of side to side sound was gone. Turned car on, pump was slightly ( barely) wining so turned side to side few more turns and fluid level when car on was almost none in resorvoir which I guess is normal if car is one. Turned car of and fluid was gushing out. Almost 200-300cc was pushed out. Repeated engine off side to side followed  by engine on and same result       going mad now. It seems system is either sucking air in whilst on or there is tons of air which I am not giving it enough time to bleed. Thoughts?   would it work like brake caliper if I open steering rack copper pipes and let gravity pull all air out?   or maybe have a restriction somewhere? What is the red circled item, could that be blocked? It i
