Naranja_Al Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 So my mate bought BenD’s old Mazda 1600 SDV which he had removed in the week to run 240bhp, wow what a difference it has made it the car. He’s managed to blow the plastic intake plenum up though now the boost is higher, need to contact BenD to see if he knows where he got the plenum from or if he has his old plenum still. DM me if you can help, thanks. Old plenum New plenum that has blown up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard (OldStager) Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 I do hope none of the plastic got ingested, I know it's only plastic but will smell dreadful if it makes its way past the valves , hope a replacement can be found that's a bit more up to the job as they say.

Naranja_Al Posted June 23 Author Share Posted June 23 We don’t think any plastic went in the intake. We had to limp it home as an NA car, seemed to drive ok. If anything I think it sounded better!🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 I think they were made by Luke a Playskool, but they stopping trading. I’d suggest an alloy item will handle boost better. I’m sure I’ve seen something at GBS. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kit Car Electronics Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Nissan Pulsar alloy plenum with a custom backplate used to be a useful item, maybe hard to get hold of these days though... https://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/forum/9/viewthread.php?tid=149161 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to be able to see my blue Vernier pulleys. Seems a shame to not have them on display Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingster Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Ben doesn’t have the old plenum. The see through one came from PlaysKool and was made for a supercharged Duratec running a lot more power. PlaysKool no longer exists, but I can ask Nick if he knows anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
