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!

    • Yeah the issue here is that we have a lot of topics, unless we matched on the exact word & phrase we'd get a million topics and the one you want will not likely be in the top 20 or so.
    • Yeah great idea, I have already added R32 Wiring Diagram but we can add as many as we want. 100% ! This has been something I've wanted to do for a while. I thought we could have a way for people to 'suggest' a link be added to the library when they come across something good.  We could kick this along by allowing members (maybe a subset) to tag threads they find to allow us to more easily find/locate/use good content, ie a tag 'for-library' which can then be added to the library and maybe have the tags reviewed and updated to better match the content. This would make it easier then to find the content when not using the library. We can also create pages that have lists of content with specific tags. That would allow us to add a tag and then have it automatically added to a page. We could have a page just for the 'for-library' content that we could then moderate and put wherever.  This excites me, the lack of structure with the amount of content is a little overwhelming.
    • Of course you can. That was a waste. Straight down one oil drain gallery and out the sump hole. Could at least have run the engine a little (obviously with at least minimum oil level on the stick).
    • Oh really? Maybe I'm being silly. I'll get some more shots. I had it higher but found that it went too high after a drive, I never knew this but exhausts can move around a bit when hot (makes sense, just never knew) and when it was higher it would make nice cooking plastic smells. That said, I could put some heat tape on a'la 90's R33 exhausts     Ha, I've spent a lot of my life in castle hill waiting for cars to be done. I think I'd prefer something closer but thanks D. 
    • @Duncan Yes, changed filter every time. I don't have the service manual for the car yet (Car was imported and they removed everything when importing). I've been using the oil change threads in the forum as reference.   @Milkmun The second oil change was after ~4 months after the first months and I wasn't sure about reusing engine oil that was opened. The third oil change happened within 3 weeks of the second oil change and I used the previous leftover oil to just "clean up" the system. (Poured it through while the sump plug was open")
