2wd elbow and plenum right now. there was a small pic of a modded elbow in one of the mags in an article about jenspeed, looked simple enough, but does it work well?

capri-rs

yes it does

I've modded 2 4x4 plenum elbows but don't have pictures. I also know someone with a modded small turbo escort plenum, again no pictures!

so who can do this??? and does it make a difference?

rapidcossie

anything that will help more air flow faster into the engine will always help

Butch.

So who can do them on here????

Basky

i even made my own plenium,with no elbow to modify

Alan s1

Charlie Chalk

Oh yeah...


Sad fuckers

capri-rs

Who cares
aslong as it does whats needed who cares about looks.

btw flows for 630-650 bhp not found the limit yet

the original

make sure you bolt it up to an inlet manifold when you do the welding, i warped my first eec4 plenum cover welding bosses in it because i forgot

Butch.

so who does it then??

Fiecos Dan

Also need to fit a spacer on there, as std plenum deepth is abit restrictive.


My rs500 inlet with mod's and spacer.

Danny , Was that flow tested? Also who done it...

Looks proper

Fiecos Dan

The Plenum was done by Julian Godfrey, for a Rally X car a few years ago, think it most of been flow tested, but i haven't seen any results etc etc.

i did the spacer, and internal 2nd inj bank mods.

Alan s1

Im not a buffy just looks abit But if it works fair play

Dont car what it looks like if it helps my engine flow a bit better and it doesnt cost the earth then i am happy.

Butch.

iTrader: (1)

so does any one on here do the modification to the inlets???

capri-rs

mine is modified by jenspeed engineering but you could probably get any welder/fabricator to do it

SapphyMike

or do it yourself if you're handy with a welder etc!

Fiecos Dan

I can do it.


What are you looking for?

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

dan if you use a spacer is this better tjan a swedish copy ?

GARETH T

that would look great after an hour with a die grinder and a quicl sand blast to get it all matt

Alan s1

There we go a TRUE BRUFFY

GARETH T

whats a bruffy?

google image says this is bruffy

...what a pointless exercise ...there is a plenum cover for any power requirement...messing around may increase flow but how many get the fueling checked after!!!!

2wd cover = 440bhp
4x4 cover = 460bhp
eec4 cover = 520bhp
RS500 cover = ???
Swedish plenum = MAXIMUM

..all approx

..dont like the look of Baskys.

GARETH T

its free to some

Butch.
