Chroming looks great and keeping in touch with the origional 24v chrome intake theme. Do you have to number the intakes or are they all interchangable ?

what diameter are those runners, barry? did you have those flanges cut or did you ream out the old ones?

I am thinking about getting myself some of these:

you guys all all wrong...it's not the shine or sparkle, it's the smoothness and taste...

Barry · Post by **Barry** » Tue Jun 12, 2007 8:19 pm

Aaah,I had to save that pic...

real smooth,must say..

The base plates are laser cut flanges from virgin material-thanks Kev!

Diameter is 50mm with the taper taking place in the adapter plate and port...
I'm still working on a constant taper bent tube for this application..

Kev,Ive numbered them-each one is specific to a cylinder..although,they just might all be interchangeable..
Once the plenum is matched though,they really become specific.

barry were those u bends that you cut down, if so what was the center line radius?

I know nothing about Plenum chambers, but how much extra zing
would an enlarged Plenum give you with an 80-85mm throttle body?

I remember a guy at my mechanics once said the standard 2.5 could have done with a larger throttle body.

Basically i have alot of stainless and could easily tig up one of my own.

Sorry i know this has strayed abit from main topic, but this i've always wanted to know.

Garth having experienced both sides of the coin as it were I can say the enlarged Plenum does make a difference.On my 3.5 12V I started out running the origional Plenum and throttle body.

It wasn't fun as it had gaping holes all over the power band and ran to lean at the top.

Barry put a Gotech unit on for me but kept the origional Plenum.Drivebility massively improved but you could still feel it felt like it was starved for air at over 6000 rpms.Yes I well know it was a 12V head but this feeling was confirmed by Barry himself.

With the 3.6 Barry has done for me, it has the modified Plenum ,and it will now pull 7000rpms in 5th without ever feeling like it's starved for air,24V heads not withstanding.

Hi and thanks Fernando.

Fernando do you have a pic of enlarged Plenum
for your 3.6?

Barry do you use the standard Plenum for your
single turbo installations
