anyone have a stock ported plenum?
I'd like to keep my engine looking completely stock, just wondered if it would be worth it to try and open up my stock plenum some? i have a good selection of porting tools and have cleaned up a few intake runners but never anything with a sharp curve like the plenum, not sure if i could do it effectively. or does anyone have a ported one they'd like to sell? ;). thanks in advance people. :)

snag one out of a salvage yard and go to town on it.

There's a fellow on eBay that's been selling ported OEM plenums for a few years now. Seems to move them one at a time... If you insist, this may be the one situation in which I would recommend a plenum spacer--check eBay for these too. |
I plan on getting a plenum spacer and putting my nozzle into that, for more of the sneakyness.

LOL greddy.....this thread reminds me of something...

I cleaned the outside of mine up a little using a wire brush. When I did I tried to get rid of some of the casting edges in it a little. I doubt there was any real reduction in turbulent flow though... As its been said a spacer would help, and maybe the ported plenum that guy on ebay sells.

Mines ported somewhat. Just took the sharp edges and the castings inside off. I dont think it really does much of anything though to be honest haha. I was just bored.

Independent Dyno Testing On a customers 02 GT with my P&P plenum and Ford Racing 70MM TB, gains of 23HP & 21ft-lbs torque over stock were recorded. Exact dyno numbers with the Ford Racing 70MM are: **STOCK: HP 249.68 TORQUE 294.22. Addition of my ported & polished plenum &TB: HP 272.53 TORQUE 315.46. With the P&P 75MM TB Potential gains are higher depending on modifications. With the exception of a inexpensive CAI system and high flow exhaust, less headers, this car was stock. I have the dyno results and will be happy to email a copy upon request.
In other independent dyno comparison testing my plenums produced more HP & torque than Accufab. These tests were performed by a Customer on a 1998 GT with PI heads & manifold. Two different stock out of the box 75MM TB's (Accufab & Dragon) were used during the testing with my P&P plenum and a stock out of the box Accufab Plenum. Regardless of what combination of TB/Plenum was dynoed, my plenum consistently outperformed the Accufab by an average of 1.46 rear wheel HP and 4.2 Ft-Lbs torque. Although the HP numbers are not astounding, it is a proven indicator that my plenums are competitive with the best aftermarket plenums currently on the market and exceed most torque gains. this is enough to say this guy is a douche and i would never put one on my car. 23hp/21tq gained from a TB and plenum on an 02? yeah... 2hp and 4tq over accufab plenum? sure. i'm sure the dremel job this genius did in his garage is better than accufabs plenum. |
^^ yeah but the port work on it looks decent imo. i might go with that one, altho i will not be keeping that ugly ass 4.6 badge on the top. lol.
