1" spacer for the Champion intake/plenum combo ?

[yullose]

Does anyone make a 1" open spacer for the Champion intake/plenum combo ?

I'd like to see better alignment with my FMIC up-pipe... and of course the add'l volume can't hurt.

Any suggestions ?

I know that champion makes a spacer for the stock intake. Its not on their site. Give em a call

I have a Champion spacer on mine that is .800" thick. Not sure if they have other sizes or not.

You Can call Dan at DLS or Tom at Champion I think they have two thickness's.

jack cotton keeps them on the shelf

i have a 1.5 , i know theres 1/2 and 1" , all from champion

going taller you may need to cut the brace in the hood , definitely going to tear up the hood insulation

Looking at my pics above, can anyone make a recommendation ?

I just pulled the 1" figure out of my a$$.

Also... any idea what $$$ they sell for ?

looks like 1/2 would help

jack lists the stock plenum spacers at $79 1/2, $89 1", $99 1.5"

I believe Dan at DLS carries them. 1" spacer is a definate hoodliner stabber though. I got one for my intake and did a number on my hoodliner.

I think mine is .900 and I put all my vacuum fittings in it and eliminated the Vacuum block with a small piece of 3/16" alum. Looks slick.

Also I have noticed my rear 2 cyl's 5 and 6 are way up in 200 degrees egt's with this intake setup just at cruising speeds so far. Still have not logged a full boost run.

Not a half bad idea... I may do exactly that.

Are you using one of the RJC plates ? or not ?

I have one on my car, but don't have individual EGT datalogging ability... just the one pre-turbo. I've always been curious and somewhat "on the fence" regarding the P-plates effectiveness. I haven't had my current combo running long enough to test it.

You can have one made in a bridgeport. Not very hard for a tool maker or anyone familiar with a bpt. You will need to delete the vacuum block most likely since it will hit the hood. Just tap into the spacer and use either hard lines or barbed hose ends

I've been watching Craigslist for an affordable milling machine... sofar, no luck... otherwise I probably would have made one by now.

I done the same thing with mine. It really cleans up the look.

here is mine that is also being fed by dual fuel lines up front and returned at the back.
