Duratec plenum

I'm in the process to install a Duratec.

I was thinking of modifying a plenum from another car and weld a flange for the Duratec head.

I know a plenum is more restrictive than bike TB but as a staring point it seems easier to make and maybe easier to tune (megasquirt). I'm looking at about 150-160bhp on a standard engine.

What do you think?

Thank you very much.

There is a very nice cosworth plenum. I am sure ive seen them crop up on ebay. I just wish they did them for the zetec.

Yes, very nive plenum and very nice price







The caterham plenum looks easy to make (copy) but its seems is tunned to make power at 8K rpm. My car is not a trackday only car...

Thank you!

I plan to take a plenum from another car (I'm looking at some 2.2 hondas) cut the runners and weld to an ally flange for the duratec.

What do you think??

I don't like the bike ITBs route now, I prefer the plenum.

Thanks again.
