Default New intake is coming on

Has started with the new intake manifold.

It will be with shorter runners and velocity stacks with full radius.

I would like some opinions from you who really know about this and my Q for now is...

What about plenum size? Feel free to comment.

Look good so far.

How have those coilpacks handled the heat being mounted there?

Is it going to be difficult to access the spark plugs?

The sheet is "in the air" and there will be some isolation nuts between.

But... now it was the plenum volume...

Yes! But I dont need to change or even check at the driving season, then... the winter is long here in Sweden.

If I need to get to the plugs there is only 8 screws for the intake...

I remember seeing an interesting intake plenum on the Audi IMSA cars. It had a conical shape to evenly distribute the airflow. Also a smaller intake volume will give quicker spool time.

That's my next mod - LR intake manifold + 3" exhaust (turbo back).

The Audi intake is different than the Lindsey intake. The Audi has that special extra conical plenum.
