Any Onw Made There Own Inlet Plenum?

[solheim]

to cut a long story short i was talking to a guy today who makes up custom bits and bobs for cars and motorbikes some of his work has gone into a few cars that have featured on the front page of magazines so i started talking to him about making me up a front entry plenum up but not using the standard one on a gtst is it going to be worth it and is there anything to watch out for if i start making one up?

dont cheap out on the thickness of the materials, my mates mate tried to make one for a RB, looked really nice but buckled and warped very quickly

Have a search dude, there has been a lot of talk about this in the past and some useful information spread. It's quite easy to fk up the air flow though so do a lot of research before you commence.

I did mine for a RB30DE.

Not really worth the effort in my opinion.

There is a lot to consider and a hell of a lot of flow testing and R&D that goes into any efficient plenum design.

There are plenty of options already available, Greddy and Plazmaman being the two most popular/common.

I tend to agree with Blitz. plenum design is pretty important and a bit of a dark art to get it right. there are some good off the shelf products out there as nick mentioned that are not prohibitively expensive.

thanks for the comments i know what your saying about flow testing and that i am after a one off pice and in the uk gredy and plaman one are quite expensive £500+ the guy who might be helping me fabricate it in heavily into motor racing and has made inlets up before for high spec cars just not skylines thanks for all the inlet pics im shore they will be very handy if i do decide to do this
