    GI: 505 Intake Manifold Round 3

    Standard finish is going to be bare media blasted. Spray painted has never been offered and will stay that way. Powdercoat will not be offered this round. Too many issues with the coater last time, and they charged me an additional 100 bucks per color AFTER the job was done (for "gun/line...

    GI: 505 Intake Manifold Round 3

    Right? True weldporn for sure. Yeah I'll be doing free shipping in the USA. International will be a small charge depending on where it's going. It certainly will. I'll be opening up the official GB thread as soon as it's passed road testing, and people can start sending deposits in to get...

    GI: 505 Intake Manifold Round 3

    It is going to be tested vs the original on the accelerometer, and if there are any major differences I will re-dyno. Pricing is almost 100% set, and is looking to be 1499 retail (individual) and 1199 for the GB (of 10+). EGR is optional. I am not working on any new projects, and this will...

    GI: 505 Intake Manifold Round 3

    On the finishing touches now. Should have that all wrapped up by next week and be road testing next weekend. Here's a little taste of how sick the welds turned out: (rockon)

    Skip is out of the game, meeting with a new welder here in Albuquerque on Tuesday that is supposed to be phenomenal.

    GT2871R Turbo Help

    Get all new turbine side studs instead of trying to transfer the original ones over. They are all M8-1.25 x 40mm. Get at least Grade 8 SS. Compressor inlet on the new turbo is 3", so depending on what intake you are currently running you will need to modify that with at least a new coupler...

    GI: 505 Intake Manifold Round 3

    The good ones from JayRacing are 1/4" and I am making sure this will work with those. Anything thicker (don't even think there are any out there) will be really tight on the brake booster vac line and might not work.

    GI: 505 Intake Manifold Round 3

    Welp, it all fits. Ended up not being able to wait for the weekend to test fit these new pieces. Notice how tight the fit is for the throttle cable spindle at the brake can hard-line. That is where the last iteration was hitting. The new throttle cable bracket design works perfectly and the...

    GI: 505 Intake Manifold Round 3

    First, I don't have the ability to delete posts here; only mods and admins do. Second, I didn't ask you to delete your post. I asked you to delete the PICS and the company's CONTACT INFO, because that stuff isn't allowed here for non-av/amm businesses. Lastly, I don't know why you think it's...

    GI: 505 Intake Manifold Round 3

    New TB flange is done and on it's way from the machine shop. I will be able to do the test fitting over Thanksgiving weekend. If that all goes good it'll get welded up and we'll see how she does numbers-wise, and if no tweaks are needed we'll start up the GB right away.

    GI: 505 Intake Manifold Round 3

    Will get the number up here as soon as I can... without a final welding quote or blasting/coating/polishing quote yet I can't say anything concrete for sure, but even without those MY cost has already risen above the GB price of the 1st/2nd gen. So keeping it under 1k isn't going to happen...

    GI: 505 Intake Manifold Round 3

    Just as a small teaser here to hopefully keep the natives from getting too restless, here's a plenum pic: Note - The TB flange in this pic is not the finished piece, I'm still waiting on the new one to be cut. It will have the throttle cable mounting bracket built in to take one more thing...

    GI: 505 Intake Manifold Round 3

    New plenum is done, last thing we're waiting on is the new TB flange which should be done this week. Will post up pics as soon as I get it all back from the machine shop.

    GI: 505 Intake Manifold Round 3

    I'm not fully giving up on it just yet. Going to play with some stuff again tomorrow. Either way it looks like the plenum will be .25", which will be pretty much bomb proof.

    It won't be an issue with any here when it's done. :)
