You can't just go on length. Girth is just as important.
I just like taking the opportunity to take some pointless off topic "funny" comment and turning it into the basis for further technical discussion, this IS a technical discussion forum after all, so its hardly crime of the century.
In the context of a technical discussion forum like I mentioned then yes.Hahahah REALLY?
You must have such a fun filled life.
When people at christmas tell jokes from crackers do you go "*ahem* actually that's physically impossible, if you understood the law of motion....." zzzzzzz
ktec kit with 90's is 270mm total (trumpet to head)
I measured mine with 60's at 240mm.
So, all of the 'dont get the ktec kit, get the 'proper/generic' ones with 120's' belly aching is actually a load of s**t
And how much bonnet clearance do the Ktec's give on a ph1 with 90mm trumpets and a decent filter setup that has a proper clearance from the tumpet to the filter?![]()

That I dont know, and fair point. All i know is that 90's with a proper filter with proper clearence fit on a phase 2 no problem, and if youre willing to hack away the inner skin of the bonnet (which people do/have done) then apparently 120's fit with a proper filter as iceman? did it on his endurance car (or so im led to believe, i think bigash saw it so may know better) which would give a 300mm total length
You can't fit 90's without chopping the bonnet, but you can fit 120mm's to the SF kit without any mods to the bonnet at all
You could angle the DTH kit but then you're adding angles to the inlet path
They look too tall for that backing plate, were they not practically touching the filter?
you sure you cant fit 90's on the ktec kit without chopping the bonnet? I think you will find you canand as i say im under the impression 120's will fit with cutting the bonnet.
and didnt you cut your bonnet for 120's on the sf kit or was it someone else? and do you reckon 160's would fit on your setup? as thats what would be needed to match a DTH kit on 120's, which as before im told fits with the inner skin of the bonnet cut.
And i was talking of putting the angled spacers in between the bodies and trumpets not angling the whole lot. that would create the ' ^ ' shape i mentioned before, and as mentioned before is the same approach pure motorsport have taken with their inlet setup.
Bearing in mind the ktec kit is in fact jenvey, an application specific kit being no more expensive than a more mass produced universal setup is actually quite good IMHO. there must be a lot of tooling costs involved.
What youre basically doing is drawing up nothing more than assumptions based on what you believe to be the facts when in fact youre wrong. and bad mouthing a kit purely based on who drove its creation.
if you fit 120s on SFs, you have to cut off the studs for the catch, or you can't fit a filter. I fitted some years ago (2008) and they worked brilliantly. Nobody listened then........lol.
should be no worse/better than any other 120's with a backingplate and filter surely? think it might be a trick of the eye with the photo.
The photo is really handy though thanks Philive been trying to find some pics of his setup but never managed to find them. With some angled spacers behind the trumpets theyre going to berather well placed in front of the grill
300mm inlet legth here i come!

If it's such an epic setup then ask yourself why Jenvey still sell the SF kit direct and it's only K-Tec that sell the DTH setup. They just wanted something with their brand name on it.
Ktec paid to have the dev done, they've got the rights to the re-selling, Jenvey can't sell it elsewhere. They do a fair number of DTH kits now
That's literally the only benefit to them. You should be able to get the filter to sit right up against the grille. It'll make some fecking torque with that setup!
Please stop these SF/DTH arguments though lol
but the DTH's are longer than an SF on a manifold so it's not a fair comparison
but the DTH's are longer than an SF on a manifold so it's not a fair comparison
So if you take trumpet length out of the equation. How long are the DTH and how long are the SF + MR23 manifold?
