Finally a solution to the purple hoses on the 4.5!

[cerber450]

Big thanx to Carbon Al for making these up for me!

Below is a piccy of what I've done to get over the crappy purple hoses......and its carbon. Yum yum!



See carbon Al for pricing.

Cheers

Dude that looks the absolute nuts .

Would be interesting to have some opinions from the tuners (Jools/AUSTEC etc) as to what improvement this may have on the induction vs the ACT kit .

This looks great did you have to change the airboxes?

[flashheart]

Why on earth do they still 'cross-over' ie the box on LH side feeds cylinders on RH side. Surely if they just went to the cylinders on the same side it would leave space on top for er cooling?

It does look fantastic though.

Lovely looking kit there Craig

they look lovely

secret to getting extra power is in the tuned length .. the crossing over and squashing isn't a big issue but the long length is limiting top end hp because it's tuned for about 4500 revs as std.

Fantastic.

Stuff for the Nitrous system installed on the car.

Nice I can think of a potential customer who doesn't live too far from me...

muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch shorter. see the other induction upgrade thread going at the moment .. 357bhp at the wheels it's called .. look at the pics there and that's what you need for power.

This looks great do Carbon AI have a website if not how can I contact them

Don't quote me on this but I think Craigs car before this was a 350 at the wheel car on standard purple jobbies, thats also before the NoS is turned on .
I beleive this was borne out when he apparently 'blew away' the 2nd most powerful cerb at the cerb shoot out, I think it had the emerald system fitted too . You'd have to ask the drivers for an honest opinion of that to truely know what went on .

I saw Andy at APM fitting these on Saturday. Your cerb does look fantastic! Looks like it isnt left wanting for anything!

Nice one Craig and Carbon Al, looks like the Cerbera induction market is in full swing
Cheers Tim

JOO

If the inlet trumpets are better shorter why did TVR go over to longer ones on the 4.5 and not stay with the shorter ones as on my 4.2 and does shorting the trumpets sacrifice torque for BHP

[gazzab]

I guess this suggests both bhp and torque increase when shorter ones fitted.
Can I have a short set from you plse !!

TVR are a law unto themselves Allan .. I haven't a clue why they didn't use a short inlet on the 4.5 but we've proved it works so much better alraedy.

the 4.2 has nominally a better intake length, but the smaller butterfly and waisted manifold face join stops the effect.
