Sheds Moderator Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 I think I have one from a 1.4kss, with the forward facing filter. If his is what you want, please let me know and I will dig it out and have a closer look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon_Rogers Posted December 30, 2004 Author Share Posted December 30, 2004 BOSS Many thanks but I am looking for the rear facing plenium to suit a 1.6/1.8K. Spanner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shn7 Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Isn't the std plenum plastic rather than ally. The VVC one I have is ally though. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mav Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Steve, You are correct, the 1.6 / 1.8 std plenum is plastic, the VVC ones are Aluminium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen Payne Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 I've a rear facing ally one from a 1400cc engine (standard Reover Metro), but I don't think there is anywhere to connect the ICVA(sp? - the thing that controls the idle speed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted December 31, 2004 Leadership Team Share Posted December 31, 2004 The original 1400SS had a Caterham-cast forward facing ali plenum - a far superior piece of kit to the later Rover items with the rearward facing TB. It's a bigger bore and buts the TB where it should be. The TB used with it has a built in stepper motor rather than an IACV however. Stu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frying Pan Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 You are correct, the 1.6 / 1.8 std plenum is plastic, the VVC ones are Aluminium. My non-VVC X-Power 1.8 has an ali plenum (not for sale) Guy See some pictures of the build here. 4000 miles completed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mav Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 The latest Xpower has the same plenum as the VVC. It is also available from PTP for about £165... Prior to the X-power rebrand, and still on all MG / Rover non VVC is the Plastic Plenum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
