Maybe Cosworth will have it ready for SEMA. Won't that the 1 year anniversary of its introduction?

I am going to get mine polished locally here before I install it. They are not going to be making them polished (cosworth).

Looks like there may be a flood of spacers on the market after this comes out.

It all depends on real world, dyno proven results as to whether everyone will be ditching their spacers or not.

I'll just buy two more spacers and stack them and along with my TT (triple turbonator) I'll have just as much gain as the cos plenum at a fraction of the price.

Do you know of anyone that has solid proof (before/after dyno) of a plenum spacer on a built high boost setup?



We did talk to cosworth engineers last year at PRI/SEMA and they did say the cosworth manifold was designed to make power with boost, so I don't think we'll be let down. Regardless, I won't jump on the cosworth bandwagon until I do see some before/after results for it.

My friend has the 1/2 inch spacer on his high Hp 350Z (540hp) and he has a very sensitive butt dyno and he says he feels it way up top. I raced him and I am going to agree.

My car is sitting at the shop waitting for this Cosworth plenum...

Cosworth if your out there, my car is either going to make you or break you!

I promise my car will be one of the first to roll the rollers with plenum, will it make power up to redline, I dont think so, but we'll see.

Im going to be doing back to back dynos between the SSV and this Cosworth to see whats up...

According to the hype of this plenum there should be NO comparrison.

I can't wait.

ahh no dynos to sheets to post but i did gain 9whp at the most with the 5/16" in my tn setup. The gain wasnt all the way in the power curve though... the 1/2 will give you most gains up top.

Yeah I kind of wish I had a 1/2" spacer sitting around now. With the solid motor mounts my motor sits about 1/2" lower so I could definitely fit it under the strut bar now.

Forward progress nice. Uh thread got way too long can anyone recap the details?

Vacuum ports? CF end caps? Whatever the line is that normally connects to the pcv? Sorry if these have been covered.

If it's not better than an SSV, I'd melt it down and mold it into a wheel...
