Default Cosworth inlet plenum

Any thoughts on this plenum.I'm not looking for performance upgrade,just need to bring the throttle body forward.

They are good and many think they have better threads than the hart original it was based on. Are you in a hurry? As I have a hart original that is zircotec treated that I will sell when I upgrade to roller barrel inlet.

They are very good, I opted for the polished finish on mine.

Hi fellow Daxer,

I cant answer your question about the plenum but i feel your pain struggling to fit stuff in the Rush engine bay so this might help. You can get rid of the distributor then the area around the throttle body with that plenum you're looking at will be much greater and the attached picture shows what i did.

Obviously, you could fit one of those camshaft triggers with that horrible pickup which ruins the look of the cam cover but this solution is neater and still means you can bin the dizzy.

how is the EFR performing?

Exactly but adding the rush might be pushing it after what I have just spent with MK
