Hi guys,

After a little bit of help with my build, Car is currently undergoing a restoration and while it off to be painted i have stripped all ancillaries etc off the block ready to clean it up.

I have a Holset HX35 To go on when the cars back and will be buying a 6Boost Mani to suit and other supporting mods.

I am a little stumped on the inlet side, There is 2 options im thinking of.

  1. Buy a Freddy Greddy copy plenum with throttle body and fuel rail, If TPS Doesnt fit straight on modify it to fit, Remove all Idle valves, and other sensors etc that dont fit. I know i wont be able to fit the AAC Valve, but what else will i have to remove? Am i right in thinking my only idle setting then will be on the TB Screw? Will also have to make up new fuel lines etc, and im also unsure on what injectors i would go with? High impendance top feed i know that.
  2. Buy a plazmaman manifold and throttle body, at the price of £1200ish in the UK. This appeals to me due to quality etc, but once again what sensors etc do i need to remove? Does it keep the AAC Valve etc? Bit put off by the price to be honest...
  3. There is also the modded stock option and retaing all stock stuff, but not too keen on this idea

Car will also be running a Haltech Platinum pro plug in, Will be retaining A/C.

If i can fit a Greddy and remove all the OEM Idle and AAC Valve etc and get away with setting a base idle of say 1000rpm i will, Will the Haltech be able to adjust idle using the TPS and setting it up well?

Thanks

Chris

The Greddy plenum gives you flanges to bolt your iacv and cold start valve to on the underside of the plenum so you can retain both neatly. As for the plazmaman plenum, it's only the top half and you retain the stock runners so you can basically keep everything on the intake side as per usual

Why do you want to remove your idle / aac valve?

Is that applicable to the GTT Though Jord? And i dont want to remove anything, i was just under the impression i would have to with the greddy setups.

Hmm, good point actually.

Here is a photo of the underside of my Greddy plenum, while it is for an R33 RB25DET I'm sure it would be quite similar underneath? sorry for any confusion :)

EDIT: sorry that photo is average, it's the only one i have on my phone at the moment! :P

Thanks for that guys, Made my mind up today and purchased a greddy copy with TB And injector rail, Will be buying an adapter from Ben C34.

Stock inlet I really dislike, looks,heats oak, just not for me.

only problem I may have now is the TPS. How do people usually do this? Is the stock TPS the same drive?

I'm not retaining the TCS,And stock manifold again I'm not retaining for the reasons above. May still swap to an R33 TB & adapter for ease if I need to.

And has anybody any proof of all this mid range torque loss? The power graphs I have seen on decent setups don't loose torque by much.

And Rb20 torque wise I'm sure is a joke.

I'm also aware that a stock size throttle body will flow massive power, So it's not because it's not big enough.

I can help out.....

This ^ guy made me some adapter plates. PM me if you want me to send you one, as I still have a few left over. It is just a plate that allows you to bolt your r34 aacv to the 33 mounts.

Thanks for your help guys.

Plenum is here now and I'm impressed by the quality of it all. Will be fitting it with an adapter from Ben.

One final question regarding injectors, I know I need top feed high impendance to go with the NEO motor/HKS Rail and found these ebay item number: 201145001596

Are they any good? And genuine for that price? Aiming for around 450-500whp

Thanks!

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
