garvice Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Well done. The intake tubes came up really well too. Did you just grind and sand them? Keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggyZ Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Looks great, but I'm going to guess it's probably not as functional as it is pretty. I'm interested in understanding what the purpose of all this work is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaiHai Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I am checking out your design with high interest. I really like the design thought around this plenum, and may be tempted to try it my self. I have a question about the sizes though. How did you calculate the plenum and gap size for your plenum? Really appreciate answeers. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Your signature says VG30DET but that looks like a VG30DE or DETT motor. Reason I mention that is I'm in a middle of doing a single rear entry plenum for a VG30DET, your arrangement would be too high for my application. Anyway, hope it all goes to plan, good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
