Im looking into intake options for my new 1800 k build and trying to work out best option between Titan Roller Barrel and Direct To Head Jenveys. my engine builder said power would be near enough identical, only reason he normally uses one over another is cost and budget customers have, i like the idea of Roller Barrel as that is what Caterham used on the R models but just wondering if anyone has any feed back.

I do like the idea of the roller barrels and i think the fact it was used by caterham makes the engine bay look more original.
Im not so worried about out and out power, more drive-ability and good power and tourque through out the rev range.

I read stories of getting stuck open at full throttle on track days but these were elise and im not sure if they used the same ones as caterham

I think i am being swayed to RB's party as was Caterhams choice and they are a nice bit of kit. DTH are around 1/2 the price of the RB's that is the only temptation. Im sure once my Engine is finished if i had a Dyno graph of both and got to drive the car on both then i will properly not even notice where all the extra money went, buts still fancy the RB's haha

I think the main thing is down to mapping and how aggressive the engine is, if its road or race. Then seems there is a skill to setting up them up aswell.

Will be a few months before my engine is finished so have to wait for some feed back about my RB's
