NeedmorePower Member 192 Member For: 19y 2m Posted 25/10/06 06:01 AM Author Share Posted 25/10/06 06:01 AM I sent the guy a email about his plenum and this is what they saidlol, no your not being a smart arse. I appreciate it. There's a huge different between our plenum and Nizpros. Theres is cast, our is billet and pressed alluminium. The heat transfer for cast is terrible. Heats up way too much...and ours isnt made in a mold. They're engineered on CAD programes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please explain " the heat transfer for cast is terrible "←The heat transfer will be proportional to the composition of the cast. Namely what metals it consists of and then comparable to the material used in the said Plenum.If it’s fabricated from off the shelf material you will be able to calculate its heat transfer properties, however getting the composition of the cast will be impossible without some destructive testing, unless the manufacturer is willing to supply it? HahahahhaSo its one of those things!!! How long is a piece of string?Secondly is it even worth worrying about as the time frame that the air spends in it is negligible. From a technical and engineering point of view its better, but from a performance point of view again it would be negligible!!!Consider the air temp internal and external at any given time and is it better or worse?

Please explain " the heat transfer for cast is terrible "←They bagged the opposition is their advertisment email tthey sent to all tuners aswell. I've seen one of these used on a 6cyl N/A Falcon and it made less power than the stock unit. Apparently the runners are to short and it's ideal RPM range is 7500rpm they discovered from this test, which is to high for a Falcon 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they are basically very short runners yeah?And excuse my ignorance but what does billet mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Items such as billet mirrors, steering wheels and lots of other bling fall into the catergory.Lumpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
