Aren't turbo runners shorter than N/A ones thus giving you more clearance on the right hand side of your engine bay?
Have any flow tests been done on these to see which runners are better?
Do you lose any structural integrity by grinding the welds down?
I reckon one ground down and painted would look good also.
Brendan, how did you find the ft with yours? any dramas or leaks?
No leaks, I just bought a thinner battery as my cooler pipes go right downthru where the origianl battery position was, also had to move the power steering pump.
I am very happy with mine.
Do you have pics of one on an rb20, as i have very little clearence between my brake booster and stock plenum and im wondering if one of these will fit or not
I am happy with mine, will get another when i build my other motor
with the 25 head. When did he start milling the bottoms?
Mine wasn't done and we had to take a reasonable amount of to be flat
No biggy
cheers

Got mine the other day and was polished to a mirror finish. Having bougt 2 others in the past 3 years in the past i must admit the newer plenums have much improved in many ways. From the material used to the trumpets and even down to the welding and the milling at the base things have come a long way and i recon you are now on a winner Jamie.
These are a great plenum guys for the price. I used one years ago, jamie was more than helpful and the car went on to run 10.5 @ 130mph with a simple setup.

hi
why are the trumpets different length ? is there any proven results it works better this way the inside of the plenum ? as compared to no trumpets on the inside of the plenum ?

Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
tuned length, makes each runner the same length, flows more air though the bell mouth than no trumpet at all, proven fact, take a look at some of the big dollar manifolds out there, all have a raised bell mouth intake, f1, indy cars, touring cars,etc

hi
Ok thank you for that , so i gather the 2 center runners are the shortest as in cylinders 3 and 4 intake runners and then 2 and 5 cylinders right up to the longest runners 1 and 6 cylinders.
Judging from the pictures it seems there is some shrouding of the trumpets to there neighboring ones or is the picture deceiving.
Nice work the plenums you fabricate
