Side mount Intake Phlenum

[pmurr181]

Hey Guys,

Just wondering what your take is on this intake phlenum. Is it worth it?

never heard of 'em, but you should learn to spell "plenum" lol

Phlenum, it's an intake plenum that's had all ports polished with phlegm

Wow give the guy a break he is looking for advise not criticism. I can't offer any advice but it looks quality made and seems to be the exact replica of the Jun style so might be worth a shot. How does it compare in price to a locally made plenum of an authentic Jun item ?

Alot of people get beaked on this forum and granted some deserve it (like people looking for the 500hp chip or the flux capacitor ect ect.. ) But remember we aren't all experts so that's why we use this forum we are looking for answers, spelling mistakes happen we all do it. My iPhone auto corrects and screws up alot of words just an example.

dude, we're just joking with him. neither of us were really criticizing him.
on a more on-topic note, there's a company called Plazmamann that makes intake plenums for about 900 bucks. they sure look pretty sharp, and i think Rabbit on this forum has one.

i was planning on getting one of those but decided to hold off until next winter.
ive seen a couple guys running these and havn't heard anything bad.

I have it on my car. Altho I have not had my car running with it I can atest to its quality. I had to mode my fuel rail a bit and file down one nut, other then that my injectors fit nicely into its seats and I would say its worth it if you have the money.

I've had it for about 16 months now.

That pricing is higher than what I paid but it comes with water runners so that should save you the hassel I had to go through modifying the stock coolant runners.

Good pricing indeed.

The only problem I had with mine are that it cracked on top (from shop dropping tool on it, then it stress cracked, would not have happened on its own) That was an easy fix with a TIG.

It has individual velocity stacks inside also and the design flows MUCH better than stock or modified stock form. You definitely get what you paid for.

Don't expect a power boost from it though.

hey guys,

sorry about the spelling mistake lol. It's priced at $600 something on ebay right now from some random seller. I am contemplating it still. what exactly are the modifications that need to me done to accommodate this set up, as i will be doing it myself?

Thanks

I could build one for half what you'll be into that for.

This guy has an internally stock rb20 running a td06-20g and after installing a plazmaman he lost alot of response and power through the mid range and actually made the same power on the top end but was able to hold peak power for more rpms, seems the plazmaman side plenums are more suited to an rb25 ( if u scroll back a couple pages a guy says how he gained 5hp and held boost better on the high end)

[plankworx]

to the second and third-previous posters, yes.

stock fuel, throttle, IACV etc.

requires no more fitment work than the plenum posted.
PM for details.

oh and with my own version, noticeably improved powerband throughout.

Unless you've developed some kind of variable length/width intake runners on your own version, I'd very much like to know how yours results in improvements throughout the powerband.
