Hey all,

I am looking to buy a Plenum for a track GTST R33.

Have read through pages and pages of info.

Im leaning towards a plazmaman or a Greddy as im after useable torque.

But what about a R33 GTR Plenum? What is needed to make it fit? And is it worth doing it over a plazmaman?

Looking at around the 375 to 400kw mark, what size throttle body to go along with the plazmaman would i need?

Any other info would be great

I run 391kw and the 66mm seems to be holding up alright, if its a track car you will be at WOT more than you would on the street so possibly wont hurt to go bigger!

GTR plenum requires more effort to fit compared to the simple bolt on applications as you have multiple TBs etc i assume.

^ GT-R plenum would be worse IMHO because you need to run one of those fugly hacked up spacer plates and that would affect airflow and also the injector spray would be offset.

Of course, it has been tried & tested.. but for 370~400kW why not stick to the stock plenum, but if you have cash to spend might as well get a Plazmaman plenum :)

Thanks guys.

Im after the plenum to clean up the engine bay to.

Also while people are reading, removing the air polution stuff.. is it as simple as disconecting and plugging the holes? wont effect anything?

Cleaning up the engine bay is one thing but remember if you are doing these kind of plenums (well in regards to the Plazmaman) relocate your oil filter and do an oil cooler setup while its apart as its a bitch to get to the filter once its all together! Its even a mission on mine just to check the oil level on the dipstick lol

you mean the charcoal canister? yeah go for gold!

while you're at it, might as well setup an atmo catch can

(it's a dedicated track car that will never see the streets right?)

Yer that little canister with a couple rubber n hard lines running to it. excellent. yer definatly a track only. never ever see the streets!

    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
    • As per title.. has anyone used so far? Keen to hear results, comparisons. In the market for a new mani for my new turbo. Any issues cracking?
    • Re read everything that has been written about this in this thread.. Let us know if you're still confused.
    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
