Abo Bob Posted December 2, 2005 Author Share Posted December 2, 2005 I asked him by pm for some details and he couldn't attach the pic to the pm so posted it here. I don't think he's pushing it.

shonen Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 adam... have you ever had or will you be taking the plenum off at any stage ? The plazmaman plenums use the standard runners....but they are for an R33...just wanna know if the neo has same stud bolt pattern as the 33.

Abo Bob Posted December 5, 2005 Author Share Posted December 5, 2005 It's all off at the moment but not split. If you buy me the gasket I'll take it off and trace it all out for you (and take photos from the front angle, side angle, northwest angle, the approach, the getaway and not to mention the aerial photography). I've taken it off once before without replacing the gasket so I'm a bit weary of doing it again because it split last time and will probably break completely this time. That said I might get that gasket with the engine rebuilding set. Does anyone know if this gasket is included with the VRS kit?

Cubes Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 The VRS kits come with inlet manifold and plenum gaskets, as in head to inlet manifold and inlet manifold to plenum.

Downforce Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 you can make your own gasket for the plenum using thast "gasket paper" material, just trace out the pattern and cut.

Cut with what? Last time I bought gasket material it had a middle metal layer that made it very hard work with. I ended up using a punch of sorts.

Abo Bob Posted December 6, 2005 Author Share Posted December 6, 2005 Last time I tried that I made such a mess of it.

shonen Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 hey bob your a mod....make this a sticky !!

Abo Bob Posted December 21, 2005 Author Share Posted December 21, 2005 Here's my engine before I put anything on it. And here it is in the engine bay. And this tool does the top 2 bastard bolts connecting the bell housing to the engine. Just thought people might like to know what is required.
