Anyone had any feed back on this product ?its a 10mm spacer that fits on the inlet plenum camber and claimes 30 bhp anyone used one ?

 

30bhp....thats a lot for a spacer...

 

www.ripspeed.co.uk

 

no serious ive seen them about surposed to help touque to aparently ????

 

i got one,,,

 

they work Gareth or is it all hype ?

 

not sure,,, read in a book they work,,,

 

Hands up who thinks Gareth is pissed

 

im geting one very soon iv been told it helps alot

 

pecail
you can sort of see mine here,,, made in work when bored

 

apparently they allow more air and fuel to mix but would like to know the opinion of the the big boys after all im only a plasterer

 

The plenumn width is not a restriction, the elbow between the throttle n plenumn IS.

Nice to see people can still make money of people by telling people some crap that does owt gets you 30bhp tho

 

i didnt read it in a sale book
i have chatted with two people i repect one says yes the other says no,,, there can be more than one restriction in a line

 

thats the baby 10mm i belive ?Ł100 a piece so need to know if worth it
may be not from the above post

 

THE rs 500 one is deeper and as far as i know pepole have been puting spacers between them for years

I dont know about the bhp

and im not paying for mine anyway

i will let you know

 

I can see it being a restriction, the trumpets are VERY close to the plenumn wall, but without the elbow restriction being removed it wont do owt.

Cant get more air in if theres restrictions before the plenumn

 

Itsmeagain, where did he say he havent dont anything with the elbow,,

assumtion is the mother of all fuck ups

 

Fuck spacers, if you dont like the look of the plenumn, go really overboard like i have

 

aparently they dyno d it on a standard cossy and it made 30 bhp only hear say though

 

IM going to use a plenumn off of a escort not shaw what one but it does have a bigger elbow and i know its made more on the dyno

 

Ok, everyone (but gareth!) whos on about getting this spacer....

You done ANYTHING to improve the flow of the elbow?

 

neil d, i personally wouldnt believe that claim

Itsmeagain, that is one nicley made plenum

 

itsmeagain do you think i could get one of those 4 Ł100

 

whats this elbow your talking about just trying to learn do you mean the angle of the throtttle body compared to the inlet

 

Assuming you stick one on a 2wd plenum and you already run 430bhp. It would probably be a waste of time. If you did it with an RS500 plenum then it may make a difference as the restricive elbow from the 2wd is not there.

IMO it COULD work if you removed the restriction in the elbow first....

 

Rod Tarry uses one on his 200mph Saph

Don't expect any gains without it being mapped for the modification though! If it really did give 30bhp gain's worth of airflow then I would be worried about the air fuel mixture leaning out.

I suspect it is more of a case that it can make a minor difference on really big power cars after other restrictions have been sorted out first. Definitely not worth Ł100 in my book! Probably Ł10 worth of metal and machining etc in it and Ł90 profit

 

Daz- RS500 plenumns are already wider than non RS500 ones

 

Oh well. IMO there is no point then!

 

true about the price Phil but does show that the big BHP boys do use them

 

WHATS THIS RESTRICTIVE ELBOW EVERYONE IS RANTING ON ABOUT. DOES IT MEAN IT CRAMPS UP AFTER 2 MINS OF MASTERBATION THUS RESTRICTING PLEASURE

 

ONE big bhp grandad uses it. And he has 700bhp AND a far larger elbow than a 2wd one...

 

I thought sticking spacers would only weaken the engine and cause reliabilaty issues... but I could be wong usually am

 

We have ported and modified the elbow on my Dad's Sapph. It's now as wide as the plenum itself although he isn't bothering with a spacer....

 

point taken about the elbow Itsmeagain
