Maybe, yes, have you tested it? Is the flow dead equal to all cyls and better than any other?

If the question was "is there a more expensive plenumn than this?" the answer would be no tho i think

Thats Ians enginebay innit?

 

isnt that for roller throttle bodies

 

Its the mountune rollerbarrel inlet, it comes all in one, the plenumn n the TBs

 

Its not exactly ideal is it?

Better for what? Horsepower? Yeah.. easily.

 

Its these questions i would like to know
Yes it is the awesome engine bay from Ian's Esc Cos

 

thats what i was thinking, its not just an inlet, its the throttle bodies too

 

Its designed for WRC applications so doubt it flows massivley.

Hands up who clicked on this thread expecting it to be another of Janos thinly disguised adverts for another of his products

 

*hand*

 

 

wait hes comming to it



or is he selling parts for ian

 

This is similar design any other pics?

 

 

 

Only 3 i have

 

@ Ginge

OR coming soon ????

 

pmsl

jano , we all love ya really

i've heard somewhere that there restictive on high HP cars as there meant for 500-600 bhp, and amazing throttle response.

There not designed for massive amounts of BHP i.e 600+

i could be wrong though

 

Rod flows 600bhp with 100 shot NOS dont he

he's got a standard inlet with a spacer plate between the bits that bolt together,cheaper than a swedish one or a one-off, I suppose this makes it bigger for better flow

correct me if wrong please

 

jano you have a pm

 

Rods is a Rs500 one with a spacer

 

Gav Diamond, cheeRS mate

 

the mountune one does restrict over 600hp, thats why i have gone for the german rallycross one

 

thought so, cheers for confirming ranj, i also think this is why martin ditched his aswell?

 

What plenum does Porkie use??

 

Ranj
Do you have any pics as Rod has been telling me good things about your engine.

You can send them though msn if you want

 

Porkie runs a Mike R swedish one

 

porkie uses swedish one

 

Think this is similar to the carbon one

 

gav


same as mine mate

 

Another mad one

 

Gav Diamond,

mine too

 

Hmm, lots of misinterpretations here...

The "better" design of any plenum boils down to a number of things. First of all, the application, is maximum power the interesting bit or a high average power output? What boosts will it be running? What flow velocitys will it be experiencing? Et.c.

Saw a few MIS-intakes as well as the Mountune one. The MIS is nice stuff for restrictor-based engines running fairly high-boosts throughout the whole register, but not very interesting on a car without ALS and very efficient turbo regarding spool-up. The flow capacity without boost is not an interesting one... But sure, some prefer high outputs and driveability like a Lada for the rest.

Have not been looking on the Mountune piece irl, but judging from the single picture it looks to be pretty much like the MIS in one way, though the inlet into the plenum seems to be more efficient for lower boosts. Basic assumptions here based on shit nothing

Spacing out the original plenum, in standard version, works quite well for a long time when doing a "regular" 400bhp on a cossie, with all that this means concerning boost and so on. The fact is that on so much higher boosts than standard it serves way too much air for the 4th cylinder, and therefore this solution is not very nice for high outputs... In the case you are not fancying playing peek-a-boo with the crank through the top of the pistons

The swedish Mike R plenum? Suppose that is a TG Racing piece. A nice plenum for higher boosts indeed... But as always theres downs and ups.

Wont comment the last one

 

 

Anyone having internal pictures of the Mountune piece as well as the others mentioned? Much more interesting when discussing performance...

 

Gav Diamond, you got any more MAD engine bay pics like that

 

Can you all resize your pictures please

 

I took that piccy. Check my photobucket account in the Rallycross section. There are loads
