    Custom 2 piece upper plenum

    Price: $325+shipping
    Description:

    Had a few extra plenum flanges from the last batch I did, so I thought I would try making two upper plenums for guys that dont have the resources to make one them self. These are made to use a 58mm TB, and are right around 3.2 liters. These will also work with a stock fuel rail. I can dill and tap vacuum ports where ever the buyer wants them. Here are some pictures. I will post some pics tomorrow after they are all welded up by the man Brian Slowe!

    Thanks Adam

    Re: Custom 2 piece upper plenum

    Both have been SOLD! If anyone is interested in one of these I could make another 3 but would need a $100 deposit from 3 people to get started on them.


    Thanks Adam

    Re: Custom 2 piece upper plenum

    Hey Adam,
    Very Nice! Wow what a great price!
    When a buddy of mine was making up Masi large plenum intakes he found in flowbenching that cylinders 3 & 4 were not flowing what 1 & 2 were until he lowered TB to floor of plenum. Actually he built a ramp in intake, sort of a false floor. Then airflow returned to cylinders 3 & 4 by flowing to them and not over them. Because of packaging, TB was so close to those cylinders that could have contributed or cause issue. Because you have a radius on the back side of TB perhaps you won't have this issue. So with that nugget in my noggin, when I made my large plenum intake, I put elbow on bottom edge of plenum.
    Maybe you can talk Brian into flowbenching intake if he gets a chance and see what his results are. I know it's a lot of work, but it might be worthwhile.

    Thanks for the input Todd! I could look it to doing something similar to what you stated, I just think it would drive the price up to where people wouldnt want them. I think this is a simple, effective, affordable piece for someone with out the means to build there own.

    What kind of price increase would we be looking at if the plenuim had a 90 after throttle body plate?

    Re: Custom 2 piece upper plenum

    I ported a lower half and the owner sent one of these so I could port match the lower half with it. I having seen it in person I have to say this is a super high quality piece, dead sexy, and worth every penny.
