yeh i sure do. you may just need to cut the actual cable down a bit so it fits where the xf brackets sits.

For all those that have been in touch, I am starting another group buy. I need 5 confirmed so I can sell them for $700 each. Thought i would give everyone one some more notice this time around. Delivery time will be sorted out after speaking to all those interested. Thanks, Ariel

been of on holidays all last week and have a conference in the city next weekend so this weekend will be pretty busy. coming along good. all the runners are cut down and polished. base plate has been made. bellmouths have been ordered and sheet will be dropped off to be engraved on monday. then its just a matter of forming the plenum and getting it all welded up. sounds like a bit, but its not really. photos of this one will be up for everyone to see. RB26 made from scratch and can be made to suit a car with or without individual throttle bodies and to top it all off, a 80mm billet throttle body.

thanks julian. standard cable can be used, although shortened which is very very simple to do for anyone. no major tools required. need a few more for the group buy and then i can get them under way.

Just a small update. Have included all the types of plenums I have done and projects underway. Ford XR6 turbo - currently in discussion/development with a reputable Sydney workshop and it looks like they will be a complete bolt-on replacement to the standard item (no more restrictive factory runners) Mazda 13B turbo - already designed and fabricated and will be in contact with workshop owner for installation onto his 9sec car. Toyota 2JZ - i have made several of these but i am working on a bolt-on unit, so no exhange is necessary and the car will be on/off the road in a few hours. Will be tested on a car currenlty making in excess of 480rwhp on only 23psi
