Plenum chamber refurb

[ancol]

Morning all

Just got my F430 , I’ll post some pics later , has anyone got the details for removing the red plenums from the inlet manifolds , are they removable without taking the manifolds off too , not sure if there are any connections inside the plenum that would prevent them being lifted off once the bolts have been removed , obviously other ancillaries to remove in the process but don’t want to try and lift them off and damage anything internally, any advice appreciated.

Yes, you may remove it independently. On the Spider it is a bit of a squeeze, but on the coupe less so. The plenum is a variable volume design and has a pneumatic actuator on the rear that requires disconnection from the vacuum line and inlet runners.

Excellent, thanks for prompt reply , weekend job for me then , get them pristine again , going with redditch shot blasting and powder coaters , reviews seem good , should last a long time too .

No problem. That's a good lockdown job. Redditch aren't the cheapest but do a nice job.
