I still run with the Kinetix SSV Plenum but as most of you will know I had to reweld the seams to try and keep it together, with it being stainless I could not weld myself so it had to go to a local specialist. Abbey have also welded it twice.
There is no advantage with NA but as it is made of toilet paper then it is troublesome on FI with high numbers. It was only the seams that gave way as per the picture. The early ones were only fused together but I believe the later ones are welded properly but I have yet to see one.
The advantage of the SSV to me is that it leaves plenty room for the coolant header and also loadsa room for the TB which as you will see is now cable, so there is plenty room for the butterfly lever, also access to the plugs is much easier.
I also have an idle control valve welded into the underside of the SSV plenum.
As you will see from the graphs below the SSV plenum certainly does it job but it does not like high numbers as only the other week I had it off again for more welding.
If it lets me down again then I will definately swop it out for the Cosworth plenum which I have sitting here waiting to be fitted, in fact I would have done it already but it would mean another 1000 mile round trip to Abbey for a remap and I would also have to turn the TB 180 degrees so that the linkage is on the rear + the idle control valve would have to welded into the cast/alumium Cosworth plenum. I would also have to find another location for the coolant header.
Anyway some pictures for you. These numbers are from the hubs and not the fly.
