AlexZ Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Ok I've searched for this on the forum but all I get is a Carbon Plenum lol... I've spent the evening reading and lots of people mentioned there good and maybe the best for the money,plus there a stright forward easy fit. How many peole have them and are they happy. Does anyone have a dyno for before and after with this unit fitted? Any help would be great guys. Alexz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I've got one. I never really felt any gains with it though. It might be for sale soon though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 There is info on the forum if you go beyond the first page or two of search, it is tedious at times I know.... Loads have it and I've never heard of an issue and it is carried by Envy and B2autodesigns. Possibly more - traders speak up! Basically, the normal benefit is an increase in torque low down with very little effort. Winner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I have one for sale mate. You have pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexZ Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 Emmm, little worried the only to two people to post are both selling or thinking about sell the unit lol... Does anyone have a rolling road print out with one fitted? Alexz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maccaman Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Ive got one & definitely not selling Can't say I've noticed any great difference but at the West Midlands Dyno run I got 272 bhp from my 276. Others were returning less than this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I might be selling only because I might have something nicer coming instead This is my dyno chart: Popcharger, 5/16" spacer, Custom HFC, y-pipe & Exhaust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3FIDDYZ Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Hundreds of owners have them, most are happy, some havnt seen major gains but there isnt massive gains to be had if you dont tune the car!!! come into their own when the car is remapped or piggybacked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most I can see on yours is 282.3bhp and 242 torque...? Have I missed something man? Alexz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pimm Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I had my car a year before putting my plenum on and can tell it is better midrange without a doubt. Just waiting to get it to Abbey for some tuning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexz Sorry mate, am playing with you, it does have a motordyne one, but there is a few other mods and a tune on it too. Its about 250 torque (both figs are at the hub) Its also the increase from Hiflow cats to Decats. This may help more Both tuned, but one its stock v moddified Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There claiming abour 10bhp from just the spacer and it seem a lot. I would like someone to back it up. I know its not all about the power, this mod also helps with the breathing problem to the front cyclinders (main reason I found it) but i'm not paying £200 plus for some noise lol Alexz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 So, what power has your car got at the moment then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexZ Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 So, what power has your car got at the moment then? It's standard mate, I have a 04 UK spec GT so It should be 276bhp lol. I have a K&N Panel filter (fitted when I bought it) and I've just fitted some Denso Iridium plugs. I dont think either of these will make any difference tbh.

Alexz Well your never gonna know till you stick it on a dyno They do come up different! As I say from experience, you wont get anything near potential till you have the car tuned... But I do know that the plenum did something for mine as a stock car.. (Oh on the tuning, if your worried about spending on it... get it mapped and it should pay for its self in a few months due to savings on fuel!! my hp is the highest its been and am currently about 8mpg better off! ) Most dyno places do open days where they will do 3 runs for about £35 to £45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
