hello everyone, im new to the site.
i have a 2wd saff cossie running stage 3.
i have seen plenum spacers on ebay and wonderd is it worth me buying one?
have not found anyone yet that no's much about these.
any help is appreciated.
thanks.

 

not too much help to ya mate but im using 1 on mine. 10mm.

 

TBH I would just fit a 4wd plenum instead.

 

im looking at the 10mm one. do's it make the car run better? do's it give more power?
thanks for your help

 

Cant see a spacer doing much to be honest.The restricting factor on a 2wd plenum is the elbow so you would be better off putting a 4x4 or a Escos one on.

 

If you're at Stage 3, I presume you're talking Green injectors and T3 or T34, and you wanted to spend more money for more power, you'd be better going to Grey injectors and different chip (or Siemens injectors etc.).

You get my drift I hope.

Probably best you start by saying what your spec is at the moment.

 

why a 4wd mate?

 

ive had the elbow bored out

 

yes your rite greens, 3 bar map sensor ect ect but only on t3 at mo, i didnt want to go silly power to be honest t34 would be my next step

 

4x4 is also restricting in the elbow, ST have better plenum

 

ST ??

 

escos Small Turbo

 

Ah I see lol.I was just going off what I had been advised to use,4b or escos<didnt state from which and a ec4 throttle body.These were to go with 55lb blacks and a 34 plus a few other bits.

 

for the gain of BHP per £££ it isnt worth it in my opinion

if you do fit a spacer, you will alter air flow which will affect fuelling - therefore you'll need a new chip

you cant just fit a new spacer and get more power.

a 4x4 inlet is better than a 2wd and a small turbo escort cossie inlet is by far the best standard inlet on any cossie - but good look finding one, they are not easy to come by and they cost a fair bit

 

hi there, thanks thats a big help, will a 4x4 inlet fit straight on?
i got those wheels on my car they look amazing

 

yes a 4x4 will filt no problem - however you will probably need a new chip or at least need to get the fuelling checked on wideband as you will alter the air your engine will flow

if you just fit a new 4x4 inlet without getting it checked/ set up, you'll risk blowing up your motor

 

i need to get the car set up any way as been sitting for few months and i have changed few bits.
i'll contact few tuners/specialists and see what chip they reccomend.

 

dont go to just any so called specialist; ask on here first and we can point you in the direction of someone decent

 

ok who do you reccommend?
i been told m a developments is good and torque of the devil

 

The RS 500 inlet is the best standard fit one out there

 

very true, but they arent obtainable for most people! - your looking at £850+

 

i dont want to spends loads of money so thats out the question.
