Default plenum spacers?

when fitting one of these do you have to get a custom fuel rail because wouldnt it move the rail further away from the injector hole?

If your on about a YB Cosworth then no.

You need the 14mm spacer and the fuel rail bolts up on the other side of the lugs but stays in the same position.

I've seen these plenum spacers. Is there much performance gain when fitting one of these?

I take it you need your map tweaked for one of these or will the map sensor self adjust?

There's a few threads on here about them

I bought one for mine and it was never fitted when it was live mapped. I was told it wouldn't make a noticable difference unless it was over 450bhp (mines 4wd plenum)

My fuel rail bolted straight on. I have modded my the elbow to get rid of the restriction too.

For my next engine, i will be using a hart/AS inlet
