Here's a peak at my new engine build !

Picked this up today from Mr Kimmins.


Got a plenum started.











Made some different legth ram pipes up on the lathe, I'm not sure if there are any gains to be made using the slightly longer ones, or if it'll make sod all difference ?

Huge difference. Bellmouth would be best placed around 350-400mm from valve for best useable torque :)

Short ones would be good for dyno figures if you are camming the engine for 8k plus.

350 - 400mm!!! Realistically 200mm is the maximum achievabel with this head, I reckon I've managed 160 to 180mm.

Just mount the plenum in front of the bonnet and it will be fine :)

If 160-180mm is really all that is achievable without poking out. What would be the impact of this? Would you be able to run a simulation based on this configuration and compare to the ideal?

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Well that's all that's possible with a plenum (on a clubman). with just an airfilter you could get longer, but not 400mm.
