Need Facts On Front Facing Plenums

Think carefully about why you want to change to a FFP before you do. I can tell you now, they don't make working on the car easier. They make it a hell of a lot harder. Spark plugs are one thing, getting in and around the engine bay is another, and oil filter changes are a right pain in the ass.

That said, I love my Plazmaman. Just recommend thinking about it, if you're doing it to make life easier then I don't recommend it.

Yeah what Hanald said...i almost put me on my car till I realized how shitty it was going to make working under it...theres a starter motor oil filter and a lot of pipes under there and luckily none of them usually go wrong ...but if they do you are in for a world of hurt

Main thing that sparked the idea was the damage to my current one. If I replace with another second hand one of the same age its only a matter of time before something similar happens so thought I might as well replace with something brand new and neat looking. The only work I really do on the car engine wise is the service.

The top rad hose connection has rusted away and isnt clamping properly. I have also searched a simple fix for this problem, asked questions in similar topic threads and come up with nothing.

Even if it has to come off for repair, may aswell replace with something completely new.

If you want to use a front facing plenum but are worried about oil filter changes being difficult maybe think about using a relocation kit for the oil filter? I didn't find changing the oil filter hard at all with my Greddy plenum. Aswell as installing my oil cooler n relo kit on the ground.
