gday gents, wanna toss in a 25det into my 32 coupe but not keen on my intercooler piping crossing over in front of my radiator and going over the coil packs, anyhow has anyone here moved the TB to the front of the standard intake manifold? if so was it a PITA or was it easy?ive seen after market manifold for this engine but the $500+ pricetag is a little off putting

I know it doesnt look the prettiest, but DONT cut 'n' shut the stock plenum. Its not an awesome idea, and looks horrible.

Plus the design of the runners is for the TB to be in the center. Putting it at the front completely f**ks up the flow of the thing.

The stock plenum will be good for over 300rwkw. And i just saw a post of a dude putting a Plazmaman plenum on his and losing power and torque across the entire rev range. :domokun:

ive noticed the plazmaman manifolds are very large in volume which is probably not helping

Wrong infact the plazmaman plenums are and increase in torque and response

using the long stock runers is quite smart. as them runners are the perfect size and will help consistent of torque

im getting my tune with the plazmaman stuff on tonight so ill tell you how i go BUT!

i made 298 RwKw with the stock plenum and 534 nm of torque

im not under rating the stock manifold Its really quite good

if your interested ill keep you posted

Did you get that off the plazmaman salesman? They only use half of the stock runners, so a reduction in low/mid torque is inevitable.

    • For me at least the reason why it bothers me is because it's indicative of a deeper problem. And that will nag at me forever. Especially because I have tailpipe emissions testing + evap leak testing every 2 years.
    • WELP. I went to the track, and I suppose it went okay because any time you can drive home is okay. You may notice the car is not on the circuit in this picture. It was about 35C day out in Benalla which means the track was approximately the surface of the sun, probably. Good things, car did not overheat but it _was_ warmer than when I had done track days in similar heat before, I think, I'm not sure - I can't quite remember. Coolant got to ~105 via the ECU after 20-30 minutes of belting it in said heat. Oil got up to 145C in one instance which is pretty crazy due to oil cooler. Pressures were fine. I seem to remember this not getting quite so high before the vents. More HMMMM'ing to be done. On the subject of HMMM'ing, can anyone identify the sounds in the video below, you will know which ones I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj3BkI2cbTc I included some 'normal' sound as a reference for the first minute or so. The microphone in this instance was where the license plate is. It stopped working later in the day which is why my "best example of a lap video (not produced)" had internal audio - Isn't hearable from inside the car. I don't mean the chirping of the un-bedded/badly bedded track brakes which you can only hear while braking... Thoughts, brains trust?
    • blame old mate Hawkins for that one  I remember way back in the day the japanese didn't want them either... they always assumed a race shell would be thrashed. We found a few when looking for an R34 GTR for the Whites to drive in Targa Tas back in 2002.
    • I know it's probably not going to cause any major engine issues. I just had a more generic concern that it's technically not running right (I guess this means the rpm is not sitting where it technically should be) Though the other thing is, it's that my steering wheel is shaking at 1,100 rpm at idle until it gets warm (seemed to happen after I tightened my alternator belt, will be testing the alternator soon).
    • I mean, what's the concern here? Higher fuel consumption? FWIW my idle sits at around 800rpm or so as well. And yes, it runs fine, idles fine and there are no issues as far as I can tell. I don't quite see the problem.
