As above, what's the advantage of running a hart inlet over a standard inlet with spacer. Other than a hart inlet look fantastic under the bonnet

 

isn't it the elbow joint is to harsh on the original manifold ?

 

I don't no m8 that's why I'm asking.

 

they flow more even to all four cylinders

 

I would say the plus will be , it will flow better as its more direct than the standard one , I think they look better too , also don't think its really needed until your going 500bhp or so , but it must help even with lower bhp I would think

 

Thanks for all the advice.
Think I might just get one as they look good as my spec won't need one.

 

I am going to get one at some point too look great

 

As well as the air flow angle on the throttle body they are substantially bigger that the standard item, more air+more fuel=more power the idea behind the spacers wether they are 10 or 14mm is to give you that touch more air capacity, as with all the after market plenums they all look pretty big

nice to see people saying that they look nice people quite often say they are ugly things I like them

Doesn't anybody go for the much cheaper st escos inlet and tb now?? That's has great gains for half the price

 

I got offered one at a good price so just bought it. To be truthful had to google what the looked like! Oops

 

Would it be worth fitting one on a t34/48, 55's Siemens spec?

 

No just use a 4x4 inlet on a spacer. When you fit an aftermarket plenum you need to get the car live mapped unless your tuner has a map to suit but i'm sure most will still want to live map it.

If your under 420bhp i wouldn't bother your best spending the money on a more efficient intercooler or cams

 

I'm lucky msd are round the corner then ain't I! Gona need a full map any how after its bolted together again

 

I've been advised its not worth bothering with a spacer unless you go bigger than a t34

 

Ye I'm a little bigger than t34. But only got it as it was cheep and looks good

 

Cheers chris

 

I'm thinking of putting a spacer on the plenum of our 3dr it's running a T38 what gains would there be.

 

Mine made more hp changing from std 2wd to spaced 4x4 on a T38
