As Below, the air mixer ring for the LPG/BBQ system. Things gayer than aids, robs 30kw out of the motor just through 'choking' the air supply.

If you are experienced and know what you are doing.

[HamaTime™]

Instructions are good enough for a person with no clue about motors. All they need to know is how to use a socket.

[sp001in]

only problem I had is the instructions were for the Vs, and the Vy has a PCV Valve channel and the instructions didn't cover that. I worked it out but. the runnners were easy but the top of the insulator needed to be marked with the factory
gasket to know where to run the gasket maker for the channel in the plenum.

[HamaTime™]

That's a pretty easy fix though. Very easy to figure out.

[joshyewahh]

hmmm i think im going to look into these two products...

[VUte89]

Mine didn't come with instructions haha and it was still pretty basic ####

[MACE]

They are fairly straight forward to install, however for people wanting to have a read over the instructions please check out the link below

why didnt you go the 25 mm plenum spacer, is there a reason or cant you go that big on a standard engine

If the engine isn't running boost going the 25mm plenum spacer hurts engine responsiveness.

Hope this helps

25mm Manifold Insulator and 12mm Plenum Spacer fitted the other day, took roughly 35 minutes all up ( no dicking around ) + a bit longer to let the GOO set, no need for instructions, everything is very basic

Now at idle with the bonnet open the whole plenum is cool to the touch even when the engine is hot-hot, obviously with the bonnet closed this heats up but is still a lot cooler than the intake

Bottom end torque has increased and has also seemed to increased throughout the entire rev range, if I have the wheels on any angle while taking off with anything over quarter throttle it will start to spin the wheels

No modification was needed for my bonnet

Quick and easy mod to do, for the extra low down torque you pick up, it is worth the money

Cheers
