TDI Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 Hi, I am sorry if this contravenes any T&C, so any Mods please feel free to remove this post if necessary. I have been told by Cosworth that there is confidence of delivery of these beauties next month (October 07). This being the case we are now taking orders for them. The price is £665 plus vat (£781.38) with free delivery. I have attached a picture of one installed on a car. I am told that there are no strut brace interference issues. I hope this is of some interest. Mark Quote

TDI Posted September 13, 2007 Author Posted September 13, 2007 how much is the new engine cover that you illustrated which you could do with if purchasing this plenum Hi Mike, The engine cover is optional and not included in the price. We don't have the price yet but will do shortly. Mark Quote

Digsy Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 looks a lovely bit of kit....but the price My thoughts too +2 Quote
sinbad Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 Now thats a proper engineered plenum! well it looks like one anyway, i'm sure Cosworth know what their doing. +3 on the price Quote
Andy Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 What kind of performance increases could we expect from installing one of these? Would it need a re-map to gain any potential bhp? Quote
TDI Posted September 13, 2007 Author Posted September 13, 2007 What kind of performance increases could we expect from installing one of these? Would it need a re-map to gain any potential bhp? Cosworth claim a 25hp capability. I am quite surprised about the price reactions so far. I have to say that I think it's an obsolute bargain personally Quote
H5 Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 Now thats a proper engineered plenum! well it looks like one anyway, i'm sure Cosworth know what their doing. +3 on the price +4 Based on the price, it would be approx. £28 per bhp, which is a bargain..... Any dyno proven results guys? Quote

And a price on the engine cover would be good since I'm still missing mine...... Quote

If we are asked to fit any here, I'll certainly post up the dyno data Quote
N15MNO-Daron Posted September 14, 2007 Posted September 14, 2007 25 hp!! Sounds nice.. though i assume thats after a re-map Quote
TDI Posted September 14, 2007 Author Posted September 14, 2007 25 hp!! Sounds nice.. though i assume thats after a re-map I'm sorry but I don't know the answer to that. We weren't involved in the R&D, and we haven't had the pleasure of evaluating one yet. Sorry again Quote
N15MNO-Daron Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Any news from TDi regarding this piece of genius hardware? Im looking forward to seeing what kind of figures were gained after installation... as i might change my mind abt the V+ plenum which is on its way.. Quote

Hi, We are expecting them to arrive this month and already have a ginea pig arranged for testing. I'll post up the results as soon as they are available Quote
H5 Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 Excellent, looking forward to hearing your findings! Quote
TDI Posted October 7, 2007 Author Posted October 7, 2007 We have a client that is having one on his APS twin turbo car but that will be done at the same time as some other upgrades next spring Quote

I'll post up the results as soon as they are available Hi... still waiting for feedback from TDi regarding the cosworth plenum.. i have delayed buying an alternative as i really wana see if its as good as they claim... TDi.. Please post this months test results! Quote
TDI Posted October 29, 2007 Author Posted October 29, 2007 Hi N15MNO, We are still waiting for them to arrive. Cosworth have sent me their own internal data sheets which show the test results of various different configurations (including spacers etc) which is interesting. I am not at liberty to disclose these but I understand they are working on a diluted version for marketing purposes. I'm happy to post our results when they become available. A lot of people are buying them for the bling factor because they do look VERY cool Judging by our initial orders I think there may be a demand/supply problem, so if anyone does want one of the first batch I recommend that they get a deposit to us asap.
