Default Just wondering (feeler thread)

My wife is telling me I have to start paying for my addiction in other ways than my day job ??????? oh well

I am wondering if there might be any interest in aluminum manifolds that will use your stock throttle body and inter-cooler and would allow amazing turbo access? I am going to flow test mine when I change my clutch so I can have a baseline for everyone and as soon as that clutch is in I will put mine on the dino and post the results. I need to build Sid's Cross over for his new T4 but I do have that unmolested 951 and I was thinking about making a jig for new Stainless Steel cross overs with V bands that would allow for T3 or T4 or even the KKK, any one interested in those??? I would be selling all items through my personal company, www.frontrangefabrication.com and if it all works out I would become a small business member of the list,

I am just wondering what every ones thoughts ore?

Interested in V-band crossovers for KKK turbos. Getting access to the turbo isn't difficult if you install it right the first time...

Turbo Intake? Yup, now that I have the unmolested 951 I can build some stuff !!!!!! I will start getting some parts together and hopefully in the next few weeks I can get some stuff up!

Agenda
A few intakes
A few cross overs (V Band KKK Turbo)
A Few Intakes
A Few Boost Tubes Aluminum and SS

Are you talking about making the piping to allow other turbos besides a KKK style turbo? Does that intake manifold kill low end torque?

I'm interested in both the manifold and V-band cross over.. As long as pricing is reasonable and you'll ship overseas..

Looking at your prototype made me realize how great it'll be to have easy access to the turbo all the other stuff hiding under the stock intake..

For sure interested

I will find out about low end torque as soon as I get it the dino. And yes. I am going to mock up a t3 flange for cross over, a kkk for cross over. and the intake to use the stock tb and intercooler

Seriously, be very interested to see how that intake flows though.

Possibly interested in an intake depending on flow numbers. Got a dyno for it too?

Interested if the intake is at least as good or better than stock. The access around it and tidiness of it is impressive too.

Looks like you could possibly have a profitable little venture here...

Ok, I will get the flanges coming. I would like to know what colors to PC them or should I have them polished?
