Very very nice project! I like people who are brave enough to try new stuff.

I see you're using a DBW plenum, but you have modified it to take an IACV and EGR system. How did you fit the IACV? I have a spare DBW plenum that I'd like to fit on my car :)

OK. Read the posts, seen the pics, nice Migs & interesting work going on, watched the youtube vid, yeah, good car control. But what is all the LSD fuss about? I can & have done exactly the same in my MV6, my old 2.5, Sierras, cortinas, Crapis(just for you MDTM), Mk1 & 2 Escorts, Marinas, Datsun 120y's, Moggie Minors you name it.

Yes, Drive By Wire.
It looks like a modified DBW plenum. Motor-box for butterflies opened and a remedy to fit cable. Or did they produce a long plenum with cable too? Anyway, I was surprised to see an IACV on the long type of plenum.
Oh, on second sight I see it also have EGR fitted? Hmm.. For some reason I can't find that plenum on EPC, neither have I seen one like it - that's why I wondered if it's modified.

This is stock long plenum fitted on facelift 3.0 coming with IACV, EGR etc. (motronic 2.8.1)

The EGR is no longer used, because the exhast if fitted from 3.2 - no EGR, no cat heating system. The EGR is just connected to the installation to avoid check light flashing.

You take it to serious :)

It's not a drift car, i don't spend fortune on it :)

I just do some tuning and modding for fun, learning, experience or experiment...
Besides all of these it still remains my civil car to drive me to work or on holidays :)

Am I missing something??

Mine is a 3.0 on a 99 plate, long plenum. Is there any advantage/disadvantage to having a short plenum fitted, is one better than the other?

(have both, will fit the better one)

hm, afaik the long plenum is better...

but the mantzel resonator box was created for the short plenum, so it is possible it will give better performance with the short plenum, than fitted on the long one.

Another thing is the resonator box is easier to fit on the short plenum...
