Tell your dad to keep saving his pocket money up, Jack and then he might just get it finished for next seasons racing, for which I can not wait to see the 940 on the strip at Shakey

[QUOTE=leet5r;657185]who made the Swedish then bud , only ask cos some of the cheap cossie Swedish 1s use to run pot 4 lean , the standard 4x4 inlet with a spacer is good for over 500bhp[/QUOTE] I don't know who made it mate but its 4mm thick stainless steel and it came off a escort cossie and was also used on a escort zetec turbo too .all i can say is I will run the plenum and see what happens and if it does run lean on any of the banks I will sort it mate .im also not using a 55mm tb I'm using a 72mm tb so that should help things .

Post 657339 by leet5r on 2013-10-31 19:20:49

[QUOTE=leet5r;657339]the standad cossie tb is 60mm m8 , well the pipe is 60mm id[/QUOTE] Yes but the hole is 55mm same as t5 mate and a 960 tb is 65mm but takes a 3in pipe .if the plenham don't work right I can fit a Jenvey turbo plenham that will take the 72mm tb as well .the tb is Jenvey
