hodge Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 It came with the plenum mate. It was a replica of a veilside plenum and TB. Quality was exerlent. TBH the plenum was a much better finish than the veilside original I have now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 i bought a greedy one already for my build, just searching for a throttle body. i love the veilsides they look cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Whiffin Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 We've run loads of stock auto boxes with an oil cooler at around 550bhp mark and never had one blow up before, and they've been running for years like that. Dont know what happens if you go over that though. Got a couple of long term customers running 1.7 bar on T61's with cams so they must be pushing close to 600bhp and they are fine also. If 550bhp is all you want the stock box will be ok if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KazzS Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 (edited) Have a look at mine on the ECU Register. Im running 540bhp on the standard autobox, 800cc drop in Injectors and a Gearbox cooler, all on a T61 with a Syvecs ECU. Drives like a dream and so far hasn't missed a beat Edited October 27, 2010 by KazzS (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 cheers guys, thanks for the info.. im in the proceeds of putting it together now. 1- rebuilt and balanced bottom end 2- complete stock head 3- greddy inlet manifold. 4- autobox and ecu not much so far but ill get there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Why the GReddy intake manifold? I'd keep things simple and use the stock manifold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 Why the GReddy intake manifold? I'd keep things simple and use the stock manifold. i did expect someone to come up with that question. i want to keep under the bonnet a bit minimal and i just love the manifold mate if im honest. im having loads of fun with my show car and got loads of chrome etc but i might change plans on this build and keep things less in your face with the bling... less is more?

You'll also add around 40hp with the manifold and like you say if you like the decluttered look it works a treat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallis Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 You'll also add around 40hp with the manifold and like you say if you like the decluttered look it works a treat I have just bought a new plenum and I'm doing a little project which us quite interesting, ive bought a veilside replica style plenum and I'm getting it modifeid and machined to house the stock throttle body and all the sensors from the stock plenum so I can run my aem fic. It will then illuminate any coldstart problems and be as good as stock with hopefully 40-50 bhp more. Cost wise I will let u know mate, could be a good thing for other people wanting a nice plenum without all the extra problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 You'll also add around 40hp with the manifold and like you say if you like the decluttered look it works a treat Maybe with a bigger turbo, but with say a T61 I'd be surprised if it'd make much difference.

wallis Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Maybe with a bigger turbo, but with say a T61 I'd be surprised if it'd make much difference. I agree Nic I think u need a certain size turbo and need to be running high boost levels, however and I understand the stock plenum and manifold are good for 1000bhp+ but if u had the same car running let's say 800bhp and changed the plenum u would defo have a power increase from stock as resistance is less with these performance plenums of up to 20%. This has to apply to smaller setups running bigger boost level of 1.7+ let's say! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 i think il acheive a slight increase using one but the main advantage to me is getting it decluttered its the look i like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Mitchell Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 I know a little bit about minimal Rob mate i know and its yours and jamesy's fault im in this mess this is going to sound so silly but where does all the components which are bolted around the engine go? do i need everything still? i know i need a tt auto loom but i have no abs which cleans that area up. is it just a case of getting a turbo kit,intercooler,gearbox cooler,injectors, mapable ecu,throttle body, and im nearly half way there or is there loads more i need.??? list would come in handy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Why are you just going for such a low power band then Rob. Bit of a waste of a built engine if you ask me. You'd be fine with a stock TT lump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd be fine with a stock TT lump. im not going na-t no more john, im going to build a single using a tt engine i have. looking for around 550-600bhp thats more than plenty for me.

wallis Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 (edited) I have to agree with hodge, if its down to money and u are limited to power with the stock box your like me! U could go for a much bigger set up but would need a built box, and we all know there not cheap mate! Rob here's a list of what u will need to go single, getting a proper kit eliminates allot of the ball ache parts and I would advise it. Here we go! Turbo kit Or Turbo Exhaust manifold Downpipe Oil & water lines and all adapters for turbo (nightmare job without the kits sometimes) Induction kit Air filter Blow off valve Turbo hot side intercooler/bov pipe work That's what I got with my hks turbo kit Suitable exhaust system 264 in/ex cams Fmic Fmic fitting kit Possible new water hoses Sports rad New Anti Freeze Sandwich plate Oil cooler engine (large 19-30 row) Oil cooler gearbox (large 19-30 row) Oil cooler pas (small/medium 10 row) Oil lines for all the above and fittings and fitting kits Oil filter Oil 5/15w Fuel rail Injectors Resistor pack (if low res) Inj clips Fuel regulator Fuel dampner Fuel filter Fuel lines Fuel pumps Modified fuel hanger New coil pack clips/inners New plugs Possible new coil packs Breather system and air filters Catcher tank New expansion tank (sports rad) Relocate battery cables ( greddy plenum) Throttle body Ecu? Mapping sensor? Egt gauge Afr gauge Oil pressure gauge Oil temp gauge Gearbox oil temp gauge Water temp gauge Fuel pressure gauge Boost gauge All fitting kits and senders for above Wideband controller Boost controller I'm sure people will add to the list, but there's an idea rob;) Edited October 27, 2010 by wallis (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
