Hypertune plenum in bnr34. can clutch booster stay?


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

I am soon to embark on removal of my OEM plenum and all the random stuff under the manifold but wanted to confirm that a hypertune plenum can actually fit in a bnr34 without having to remove the clutch booster and running a s-chassis clutch master cylinder?

its an ITB plenum like the one attached. now I'm not interested in the fact an OEM plenum is capable of power. this is an engineering project I'm embarking on with ITB drive by wire and will be comparing any manifold benefits around the 700g/s (900ish hp) mark vs the OEM manifold. there may be none, but I want the data. i have 6 EGT sensors for validation purposes.

thanks.

Should be fine if its just an RB26.  Only taller blocks have issues.  I have a greddy ITB intake on my RB34 high deck, and have had to shave the back off the master cylinder to get it to clear.  I still use the booster and an OEM clutch master.   The OEM plenum fit with plenty of room by comparison for an engine with the same deck height.  Your plenum will be 20mm lower than my setup.

    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
