Turbo inlets

What inlet manifolds and plenums are people using?

Think if using maybe a gtir one, but unsure if it worth sing the throttle bodys from them also? I think the spacing is miles out though, any other options other than make one from scratch

Thanks

bent a bit of 2mm ali around a plastic drain pipe and welded up.

It split along the side welds after a while so I added some pins to stop it flexing.

Made it with trumpets inside as well, really keen that day

I have developed a plenum top casting, 4-5mm thick, just under 4000cc vol. The one shown was a prototype but I have a batch on the way in the next week or so.....

Plenum

I am keen to develop this in a few formats as listed in that post. Should have pics of the Jenvey conversion soon.

Gtir plenum back. Plate on front which needs cutting to size and some holes to which you can mount your gsxr re-spaced TBI's.

Flak Monkey did a nice job of this, I also used that approach. It turns out nice and is cost effective and provides a take-off for a dump valve (if you want to use it).

You can even polish it to a mirror shine if you really have time to waste (not mine I should add)!
