Plenum spacers


Recommended Posts

Hi people, no mods at all carried out on my z, totally stock 05. Are there any gains to be had by fitting a plenum spacer to the 05? And if you do does it get in the way over the strut?

 

cheers

I wouldn’t get a remap after just fitting a plenum spacer because it would not be money well spent. Do all your performance mods and then remap ie intakes,exhaust,plenum spacer and then do it. You won’t see any noticeable gains with just a plenum spacer alone.

Avoid aluminium intake pipes unless properly coated 

 

At abbey last week I saw intake temps almost triple with the bonnet down

 

Bonnet up 277 at the wheel 

Bonnet down 269 at the wheel 

 

Heat soak is horrific on these cars with non coated shiney aluminium intake pipes

Thanks lads. Keep me posted 1ce

 

I managed to find time to fit mine Sunday. It took a little longer to fit than expected but I gave myself the chance to familiarise myself with the engine :) .

First impressions, It feels more responsive, pulls harder and has a noticeable deeper note to the exhaust. Another piece of the puzzle found ready for a remap.
