Another option instead of the carbon plenums + div ECUs

[OleVix]

Alex gave me this idea and its a bloody good one. Scarp the standard intake, plenumbase and plenum and get one of these:


Cheap as chips at 265$

or this race style one:

Very expensive at 859$

Then get this:
Clicky
Injectors, TB, ECU all in one box no wiring loom or fuel rail. Self learning ECU. All you need is to sort another dizzy and it can control that too, possibly coil packs but i havent solved that one yet.

Best thing is it will outflow even the triple plenums and is very neat!

Thoughts?

FiTech I'm pretty sure that's the same as one I looked at at Shakespear raceway.
It looks the total dogs goolies

It is Alan I have been toying with the idea after Alex put the seed in my head

[ClassicChimaera]

I recognised it straight away, makes my mouth water

Alex is a bad man,,, thank god for Alex

I'm so paranoid everything you read about anything is all sales hype so I now believe nothing until proven to me.
That's clever salesmen for ya,,,,

It's a really lovely looking thing in the flesh and appears to be made by precision.

It's not stupid expensive if I remember ?

Just spoke to TA performance in the states. He said the Edelbrock intake was st and flowed ok for the 3.5 liter. He recommended the offenhauser intake instead. Summit racing has it for 360 bucks:

hehe it might be. My contact at TA is contacting offenhauser directly to see if they have some or when they can make new ones... Summit might be guarding their asses when they say they need 3 months

yes for the Grief Im thinking this offenhauser intake and the Fitech ECU would simplify the build AND give loads of power + throttle response. And with Clive Fs spaghetti exhaust I'll be pushing 401 NA hp! Suck it Peter!!!!

[Matthew Poxon]

I would personally go for the John Eales crossover option. Expensive but with a throttle body for each cylinder has to be the top option.

Fantastic idea and it takes the brave to take on Peter but I think you the man for the job.

Fortune favours the brave.
It's adaptive too is it not!
Adjust mixture etc
Awesome isn't the word!
This is the one isn't it.
I really hope so.
Is it just a really big clever carb,,,, I love carbs

So the main thing is what cool,funkie air intake can you create to feed it proper cold air.
Massive this is.

Love it .........

My main problem is finding info on what intake flows best. I think a french guy on here used the offenhauser on his griff 500 with great results...

these intakes were designed in the 60s for the 3,5 liter buick, or maybe the design was for chevy and just copied over for the BOP 215?

The Harcourt intake is a single plane race style and will perform rubbish on low rpm, great on top end hp... not something for the daily driver
