Cosworth Plenum

[TDI]

Hi Guys,

 

I heard from Cosworth yesterday that they are developing an intake plenum for the 350Z.

 

I don't have a release date yet, but I think it's very encouraging that Cosworth are continuing to take an interest in the VQ35

The continued interest from cosworth does sound good. It will be interesting to see if its a lightweight metal plenum or a plastic jobbie.

if it's a metal one I doubt it'll be lightweight

 

looking forward to see some figures for it

surely, so long as the plastic doesnt suffer, they would be better using plastic? I only say this as even after sessions on the track the v+ is fairly cool the the touch so is keeping density down more than a metal one?

Hey Guys,

 

I saw a 3D model of this manifod today. It is nothing like I had expected

 

I can't say too much but I can tell you it's a combination of cast alloy and carbon fibre, that the design looks quite radical to me and that it is designed to produce another 16hp.

 

Fair play Cosworth

I agree, it is very interesting. The head of Cosworth USA came for a meeting at TDi yesterday, so I can tell you that there are some even more interesting developments in the pipeline.

 

There are no price indications on the plenum yet - sorry

looking forward to some more news when you get them
