they look great, but the trumpets seem a bit small to me. what size are they or is that just the set you have gone for ben?

with this setup you get a longer ram pipe than the jenvey tapers.

we tried both tapered and straight and saw 1bhp different between them and that favoured the tapered ones, but not on a mega reliable rolling road

ben, its a similar bracket to the GDI one, basically its a bracket designed in the only way to mount the coil in the standard location.

i do apologise, such a fantastic place to put it in the standard location, few £ later and one water jet bracket to hold the coil in place.

I would imagine the main reason for the going for jenvey taper over parallels, other than mid range power gains, would also be the space.

the AT ones are slightly different in design again, giving more space and more power compared to the diameter of the butterfly

I think hutchie is talking about a set of tapered extensions we did for the rally car (42 up to 50mm diameter). As he says it didn't seem to make much difference.

The system jamsport are using is deliberately on the short side so the radiator can stay as is and the slam panel remains intact. We've had a shorter system than that make 205bhp and 158lb/ft with some second hand "I don't know what they are but they're very mild" cams on a 182. You would perhaps make a handful more lb/ft with it being longer, but you would need to trim the slam panel and use a shorter rad. I've never seen a back to back test where only the length is changed, so I'm just going on power graphs that I have where I know the length with similar modifications.

I think the coil would look better on the right hand side there if it will fit, but it's a tidy job anyway.

John.

John, judging by the username, I presume you are the guys doing the work for Ben? If so, looks good so far!

John, we did consider mounting the coil on the side of the head, and simply swapping the leads around, this may well be done just need to make some alterations to the loom.

Sausage filter needed to be ordered, so will need to be sent to me when it arrives, same with a different brakcet to locate the coil pack to see which i like best.

Not sure re trumpets etc, sure mark will confim :)

VERY VERY happy, nice to have over the 200bhp mark.
