Big *** wing - check
Big *** canards - check
Big *** rear diffuser - check
Big *** turbo w/ trunk mounted intercooler - check
Single exhaust that merges with rear diffuser - check

And best yet - it's all functional. If you're going to make your nsx look like a transformer, this is the way to do it. Pone likes that rear diffuser.

Nice intake mani, but I wonder why they made the plenum so small?

Yeah, noticed that, but the runners are long, so maybe they were shooting for something. Although I've noticed plenum size doesn't need to be overly large to work well. Who knows what kind of technology they have going on inside either. And the Tbody seems to be a Q45.. large.

I was going to buy an Acura Esprit, but I decided to get a Lotus NSX instead.

Here's another smallish plenum. Maybe there's something to it?

That one is not huge, but I think it is significantly larger (volumetrically) than the one above.

With the constant pressurization, turbo motors don't need a large plenum.

No, they don't NEED one, they just work better with larger plenums.

The last manifold posted is HUGE. Very big volume for a 3.0 ltr motor. I many how many have you ever seen bigger then that, lol. It's about effiency too.

It was made by a fabricator in England for a turbo car. That's why the plenum is so big.
