^^^Was there an estimate given...closer to $500 or closer to $1000...you know what I mean...also, what exactly will this do...I may just get one...just to get it if I can...

If not mistaken $ 700 was the Aprox price, might get a little more expensive but im not sure. either way is well worth getting it, since nobody have done one of this before and never will, only one time opportunity...
 
What does it do though...lol...I am not really motor oriented, but much more on appearance, but what is $700 for something that is so limited...I am sure it may just be worth it, but for us NA guys what is the benifit or is this something that will only be benificial on a turbo application...

Well this is FI oriented Intake Manifold. im not sure for NA is worth or not...

then you don't need it.
 
We had a small snag getting the plenum tops lasered, but they are done now. Welder is getting started on final assembly this week. (rockon)
 
Oh and just as a heads up to anyone thinking about jumping on board.

I will be closing the GB list for good at the end of this week (Sunday). Whatever manifolds are left over at the end of this week will be built WITH EGR, and will be powdercoated SILVER. They will then be sold as a ready-to-ship item for 899. So... anyone who wants the GB price needs to get on board before the end of the week. It is also your last chance to get one without EGR and/or in the color and coating of your choice.

I've had 9 different people inquiring about the remaining 4 spots over the last 3 weeks. Don't miss out if you are on the fence.

With the trouble that you have had, do you plan to make a second GB in the future?
 
At this point I have no plans/demand/desire to do a full second batch. Some of the production has gotten streamlined and easier over this first batch, but a lot of it just takes too much time. If I ever get my own CNC mill out in the shed and learn how to weld... then you might see a few more. lol. Until then, it is just too hard relying on other people to get the work done.
 
i cant remember if i said i wanted black or not... if i didnt say anything Rich, can i get it gloss black please? thanks

any update on the EGR? what exactly is the package going to be for this. or is there not one now?

im starting to think i should leave the EGR off the IM if there is not kit for this.. i honestly just dont want to spend the time piecing one together. not like im going to pass emissions anyways with a standalone
 
Yea what he said^ I remember reading something about 50 pages ago. I think you said something about getting one at a hardware store to put in the kit for those who wanted egr's or are we gonna have to get those are selfs? What was the update on the dyno?
 
I have been looking for uncoated hoses but haven't had any luck. I just don't want to sell you guys something that isn't going to hold up. The one I got for mine works great, but looks like ass now that the rubber/plastic coating has melted off. Still hoping I find something for ya'll though.

I'll post up the list of who is getting what coating here shortly.
 
Ok here is a quick compilation of the master list. I will be PM'ing you all to confirm these options BEFORE EGR blocks and coating is completed. If any of you see a mistake here on this list, please shoot me a PM and we'll get it squared up now. I am waiting on replies from you folks with blank spots on the list.

Thanks fellas.

Oh and Dan, I know at one point you said you wanted to change your mind about shipping to swaintech... and go with a coating instead. I can't find which option you wanted to go with after searching both threads and my PM box though. Let me know what you wanna do. :)
