Really not too bad. Ally is soft, hard metal I wouldn't attempt.I've trial fitted it ( Lower half supplied by Simon from Xtreme - No cost!! ) All lines up perfectly. Just have to tap a couple more holes for air lines/sensors and it's ready to go.Have cleaned her up and just about to go out and spray it. Looks better than the original pix from a bit of elbow grease..

It would something like a Nizpro unit then...How much did you pay for the lower plenum half?←I already have the material for the next one earmarked. It's rounded, so it will be better for airflow..My aim with this one was to see if any benefit can be had from a backyard approach to shortening the air path.If it's even remotely successful I'll use the other material for a 'proper' design and incorporate my own theory of lower half runners combined with my theory on volume/size etc....

Tomorrow I'm ( GENTLY ) off to the dyno ( hopefully ) or Tuesday at the latest!! Very rewarding exercise, even if it doesn't work the way I want to, or at all!!

Then I'll get them both 'properly' painted in a silver, or silver/black combo..

Guest newl Guests Posted 21/01/07 11:46 AM Share Posted 21/01/07 11:46 AM Looks like quite a few of the ones I saw at Motorvation. Hats off to ya for the effort and hope that it works and/or helps.It's amazing how much cleaner things look without the extra meters of piping though.
