The RB25 intake manifold is designed to optimize airflow for efficient combustion, featuring a long-runner design that enhances low-to-mid-range torque. Some models include Nissan’s Variable Intake System (NVCS), which improves throttle response and power delivery. Upgrading to an aftermarket forward-facing plenum, such as those from Greddy, Plazmaman, or Hypertune, offers better airflow, reduced restrictions, and improved high-RPM performance. However, modifications may be required, including rerouting vacuum hoses, adjusting throttle body compatibility, and upgrading the fuel rail and injectors. While a shorter runner design enhances top-end power, it can slightly reduce low-end torque, making manifold selection crucial for specific performance goals.
