PPl,

I've have to replace my plenum on my RB 25/30 (turbo) combo, as the last owner made his own dodgy home made plenum.

My actual question is that when you purchase say a Greddy/Trust plenum or even a custom one from say Micks Metalcraft as an example do these actually bolt straight to the side of the head or do they just bolt to runners? The one I have at the moment is welded to standard runners.

If it is only plenum how much am I looking at to get runners and anything else that is necessary for the transition?

Also I am looking the Greddy one, but I have an XF throttle body, can it be adapted with out much hassle as I don't want to change it as it had the TPS set up on it.

Hope this makes sense and I appreciate all coments.

DP

a friend of myn has done some research into it, and came up with use the stock runners with a front facing plenum works best rather then either bolting plenum to head or new runners... there are many companies who build plenums over here

mood motorsport is prolly the best one i have seen...

butmost workshops will either make one, or know who can..

trust plenum bolts directly to the head and if new comes with bolts and clamps, hoses needed to fit everything to it (no gasket though) - you will need to mod the water line for your turbo though.

the runners on the trust plenum are larger in diameter and shorter than the stock runners. You can get an adaptor for the stock TB additional to the plenum, or source a Q45 TB (larger than XF) which will bolt straight up (TPS is compatible, being a nissan). I dont think the Japs are big on ford XF throttle bodies, so if you wanted to fit it, you may have to get a custom adaptor made.

      yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)

      Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions

      Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣

      Is the toolbox that damaged the boot seal the same item that fell on the car during the storm a while back?

      Who are you to deny yourself? I’ve said this many times to myself and apart from getting what I really want, I go quiet for a while whilst working out what I just did to my savings and how will I afford what it cost, then, next payday…
