New Style Intake Manifold

[AlpineFreak]

Hey guys,

While searching through some sites i found this unique intake manifold. Just curious to see what you think about it. Oh and how much you reckon to get one made?

[Bliksem]

Looks pretty good, carbonfibre I take it?

Where did it come from?

[AlpineFreak]

Yeah carbon Fibre FTW.

Was searching on a new zealand version of ebay, and found this dude selling his rb25.

First time i've seen a carbon fibre intake, looks s3xy.

I'd imagine it'd be pretty good on the airflow side of things, being a very smooth material. But expensive!!

Would love to know who makes them.

Workshop X in NZ have been doing them for years, I tried to buy one a few years back but they were pretty expensive. But even to this day they are still what i see as a better example of what you can get (and there is lots of crap)

[AlpineFreak]

anyone interested in perhaps trying to make a copy of this plenum??

Also anyone know how to contact Workshop X??

it kind of just looks like a heatshield. and why does it have turbosmart written on it?

if it is actually a carbon intake, that would help in keeping the intake temps down.

what is a cheap but effective upgrade for rb25?

i know its hard to put them two words into a sentence but u catch my drift

Wow that's different! Is it an actual full carbon fibre plenum though or is it like a metal one covered in a carbon fibre wrap or something? Either way, looks great.

[Marco-R34GTT]

Made to fit both RB25's and RB26's???
