Carbon Fibre Trumpets

[KSV]

Hi,
Thinking of fitting carbon fibre trumpets to my 4.0HC, is it worth it and is it an easy job?

I fitted these on my old 4l engine ,makes a bit of difference but don`t expect to turn it in to a monster..

The short flared aluminuim one`s are a lot cheaper but i think the biggest advantage is the carbon fibre keep cooler.I would fit an insulator gasket between the trumpet base and inlet manifold while your at it.

Thanks,
sounds like a good upgrade should i go for the complete superflare induction kit from ACT?

Its up to you,the ACT induction kit with the smooth bore elbow and the largest K@N air filter is a must but you can get the short aluminuim trumpets much cheaper.Don`t forget the insulator gasket..

Contact 350matt He will sell you an insulator gasket (no longer bolts needed) keep away from the thicker gasket with longer bolts )

Thanks guys.
Only had car a few months can't stop spending money on it, but that's what you do when you own a tvr isn't it.
Loving it!!
Alex would be interested if fair price.

The 45mm trumpet base would not match up with your inlet manifold ,you will end up with a step. The bored out 72mm Plenum may help! Alex i bet you have one of those !

I got both parts, base and manifold

Will go for the ACT induction kit with the carbon fibre trumpets,
Are the carbon fibre ones easy to fit?

I wonder how it would run with the larger 72mm throttle body ,45mm trumpets and the inlet manifold ..

Does the 4l need more air ?

Think Tim does an exchange ,ready fitted.

Don`t forget the K@N airfilter

[KSV]

Are these better than the ACT ones?

[KSV]
