With the larger aftermarket injectors I am running, I was forced to insert the INjected spacer that is utilized to fit the cosworth iplenum over aftermarket injectors. Problem is that the Crawford plenum is actually high enough that the hood is resting on it. I have to apply pressure on my hood to close it. Not very happy about that. Does the Cosworth sit lower in overall height than stock or maybe even the Crawford plenum. Would be great to know because I don't want to do any damage to my CF hood due to an excessively tall plenum set-up. I would be willing to change to Cosworth if I can get confirmation that it definitely sits lower than a stock or Crawford set-up. Any help is appreciated.

 

from the pics it looks as though it sits much lower .

 

I don't want to assume anything. I would agree that the pics make it seems as though it sits lower, but if anyone has done a side by side comparo that would be sweet.
Maybe a vendor? I would like to be sure on this one. Don't exactly have a $1000 to throw away.

 

Fits my stock strut bar and engine cover...

 

That definitely helps to know. But i am also running solid Injected engine mounts. Can't remember if they change the motor height. So I may have a couple of factors working against me. Solid engine mounts and plenum spacer which both may be raising my motor and making the plenum unusually high. If the Cosworth sits lower, than I need to sell my existing plenum and go for it.

 

It wouldnt sit any than the top of that strut bar. Obviously, you couldnt use the strut bar though. The spacer is about 1/2"

solid mounts are usually 1/4" shorter than stock. But thats compared to uncompressed stock mounts. Who knows how much they compress under the weight of the motor. I'd assume, final motor height is about the same. All my stuff seemed to line up the same after solid mounts.

 

If it helps at all, you can try using a strut bar spacer for a little extra room.

 

Sold my strut bar. Undecided if I want to get another one or not. I bit the bullet and have one on order. Should be here in a couple of days. I think I want to spend a little bit of time cleaning up some vacuum lines and run a vacuum distribution block to clean things up a bit. Anyone have some pics of their distribution block to give me some ideas on placement.

I also hope at some point shortly after install to do a direct dyno comparo since this would be the first mod since getting my tune with Crawford plenum.

Almost forgot....Thanks Ryan for hooking me up with a great deal on the CosworthPlenum thru Injected Performance.

 

Not the best pic but here it is



I just noticed installing the cosworth plenum I lost my Vacuum to my brake booster and and since there is no nipple in the front like the oem I also lost my vacuum line to my BOV.

I might have to T some lines

I'm going from Cosworth Vacuum port to vacuum distribution block and it gets split into 5 (Haltech/Aeromotive FPR/Evap system/HKS Camp 2 Vacuum sensor/ Meth Controller)
