Intake Manifold Spacer Group Buy!
 

Hey I figured i'd go ahead and start collecting names. Once we have 20 we all pay in, probably with paypal, and i'll place the order... that is if you trust me >=D lol. In the event that i'm not allowed to start a group buy perhaps Supra Girl will pick it up?

Guesstimated price was 100$ give or take plus what seems to be 6$ or so says Joel.

The idea is that you distance the intake manifold and throttle body from the head to prevent the heat of engine operation from transferring to the incoming air. You replace your head to intake manifold and manifold to throttle body gaskets with these spacers and gaskets. Averages sound around 6-8hp for smaller engines than the 7M. We should be rippin.

Any other Takers?

P.S. Email these guys and let them know you want to cast your vote for a 7M series spacer. Hopefully we can take advantage of the rest of the worlds interest in our engines. tech@outlawengineering.com

im gonne do the 2jz intake thing so i dont need it

I might be intrersted, but whats this intake spacer? more HP?

here is the original thread..

even if you do a 2jz style FFIM, it uses the same configuration runners as far as mating to the head right?

that is true, didnt think of that. next excuse is... i need an engine first...

Bump, bump bump

Should we link this to the other forums like SM?..

anyway count me in, but since it looks like it will take a while shoot me an e-mail once it gets to the final stage cuz i might forget :)

sounds like a plan you guys have got ;)

when you apply a "gauging interest thread" on other forums tho be sure to add in the original thread and don't forget to give them reasons why they would want/need this item ;)
helps ya get more ppl

good luck with it



p.s. for now this is a gauging interest thread only.... when the numbers are reached you will need approval from a moderator k

ok cool. i did not know what the procedures were with GB's

thanks..

OK i just posted it up in SM forums.....

lookin good :D

lets hope its an all go ;)

What do you mean when the numbers are reached?

she means when 20 ppl are on the list

Is anyone a member of any other forums that you could start posting and linking this site?

Starting to think not enough people are interested guys.

hows the thread going on supramania?

it kinda died out, seems there may be some negitives to the gaskets not mentioned..

oh really?

what did they point out?

ohh just that its not really a new product, its been tried before. it may get brittle?

IJ says "There are a few downsides to using it from memory, You need to reengineer the studs/bolts so they're isolated from the Manifold as they'll transfer the heat you're trying to stop as well as in time it goes brittle and 1 backfire can crack it and cause a leak http://www.supramania.com/forums/ima...lies/frown.gif."

for the price, it just seems like a hassle and problematic?

how would you re-engineer the bolts to prevent heat transfer through them? use rubber bolts? LOL

I guess you could use longer bolts with a thick rubber washer or something on the end right?

ya i was not sure but i think you got the idea right...
