rtbiscuit Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Its not really a new product for the 350Z forum, but thought i'd share with you my own little treat for my XKR. its so shiney and carbon will post up the full engine work mid week next week when its all finished. If someone is interested in doing a plenum i could look into this and see what we can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewan221 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Looking good Rich, what sort of price would u be looking at for the plenum ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted October 27, 2012 Author Share Posted October 27, 2012 i have no idea as its not been done before. as a guide those rocker covers are about £100 a piece. but they are easier to dip as the plastic is alot smoother and requires less prep work. I'd need to speak to my painter and see what the best method would be. as the original plenum is rough cast i need to work out if its a case of having to sand back the whole thing before painting. or if its possibly to use a levelling compound to build the item up. i have to take into account where the item is being used and the heat in the engine, as i don;t want it to crack etc. this is a possiblity if the paint is very thick. i.e. with a levelling compound. and lots of heat.
