1.4L Aluminum intake manifold

[TurboTechRacing]

Who would be interested in a 1.4L Aluminum intake manifold? They would be around $600 each.

We need at least 10 serious members commited to purchase to make this happen. To build these is very expensive and time consuming, we want to make sure these are wanted, and customers willing to purchase for the estimated price.

Pending a little more info, I'd definitely be interested.

I'd like to know an estimate of how much of a performance gain to expect.

it's all about the increased strength for MORE BOOST.

haha. but probably 5-10 HP.

I am very interested. $600 seems a bit steep though. For $400 you could take my money yesterday.

Put $400 in a jar. Add $6.50 a day to said jar for 1 month. BOOM! Aluminum intake.

It'd likely take over a month for the design and production to happen, and by then you'll have $601.50. Because math.

Well that escalated quickly.

I'm pretty much an auxiliary sales rep for TTR at this point.

8 to go.opcorn:

 

[slitzell]

Hmmm tax returns are coming. Im gonna go ahead and say **** it. Im in!

 

[Preloader]

Forgot about tax season, this should be easy.

7 to go.

 

[slitzell]

Yea my refund is 3700

Im saving 2g

Spending 1g on my trip to park city utah next month

Leaves me with 700 for the mani!

I was planning on getting the aluminum charge tube and heat shield so i guess i need to save $6 a day lol

 

[Preloader]

I'm kind of in the same boat. I plan to pre-order the mani shield as soon as it becomes an option. And while I'll prolly owe taxes, I've freed up about $6-8 dollars a day by recently quitting smoking.

I've got a Build Account that's up to 400, so I'll easily have 600 in it within a month....... so long as I continue not smoking.

 

[slitzell]

Good plan. Im just gonna cut my food expenses and eating out. Keep itmto a 50 bucks a week budget.

 

[Preloader]

Yeah, I've cut way down on going out to eat, it's a luxury convenience that has to diminish as part of becoming a responsible adult.

I know quite a few people that always complain about how broke they are, and meanwhile they go out to eat 4-5 times a week. Priority deficient folks.opcorn:

 

[Eric Smit]

good job on quitting smoking, by the way. I recently stopped too. Brutal, but necessary. Worth it though. Now I spend it on orange tic tacs instead if cigarettes. I gave up amp too.

unfortunately, just committed to spending my $600 elsewhere, so I'm out of luck on this one.

dibs on a black one

 

[slitzell]

Black one? Why would you want to cover up the glory

 

[ungawd]

I can't give up dining out or smoking. I can, however, stop myself from buying a stack of blurays and dvds for a few months. I have 50 or more movies I have yet to watch stacked up.
