Looks pointless to me. It's just a Maestro plenum with an air filter attached to it.

What are you wanting to achieve?

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

i have been told (by burnard) that it induces more air flow but i dont believe a word, i am looking for a t3 turbine anyway

Painted engine steady is interesting...

And everything else by the looks of it Gav

what would it acctually do then with a maestro plenum and filter with flexy hosing??

That really is wank.

In the 13's at last!.. Just

Now that is not it, but there used to be a similar thing available called a Torquemaster, apparently the extra induction length did boost torque on certain NA engines. I think its in Vizards book.

Is that the engine that was on ebay a while back that been dropped in a vat of blue paint?

bulkhead and rocker cover look nice. both the breathers are going to each other too

There is a Tee piece jams from the breather pipes going into the carb.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

did janspeed do one aswell? i might be way off the mark.

I think the Torquemaster was made by Janspeed.

ahh right, learn something new everyday.

ah yes i see the t piece :0

You sure Tom ? thought it was the Osselli Torquemaster - had one fitted to a 998 ages ago.

Check out the rad top cover. I might make one for the van !

In fact I don't give a shit what anyone else thinks, credit where it's due, I think the lad's done a good job but the colour's a bit gay (mind you, I cant speak, I own a lime green minivan !).

PS: don't bother with the Meastro NA plenum, I speak from experience, it didn't work when I used it with my turbo setup, even with the 37mm restrictor ring. Went for a Nic R plenum in the end (on the borrow from Rob H).

Minivanless, but reluctantly happy living with the decision. There'll be another one day.

there was a mini limo with the same setup, but it only to reduce induction noise away from the cabin

i like the way the engine bay been de cluttered but apart from that i agree its pointless

The oselli Torquemaster was an inlet manifold wasn't it?

I'd have to check in the Vizard book about that induction setup.

If it had an air-box on the end instead of that cone filter it would reduce noise. I must admit it looks pretty tidy.
