Not at this time. The demand for the VQ30DE is much lower. So I am currently looking into other ways to reduce costs, such as, by increasing production batch quantities a little bit.
Sorry, I do not plan on changing the Torque Link design. It's beautiful. No welds on the brackets, just a solid piece of steel.
But we just finished a huge Torque Link sale for $119.99. Right now, they are priced at $139.99. And the price should never go back to the $160 retail price since I drastically increased the production quantity for this kit and that reduced our costs.

$140 is totally reasonable, IMO.
The lower bracket being a single, solid piece of metal with no welds... brilliant.
As for being beautiful... well, it can be pretty darned attractive after it gets powdercoated. And it will save the thing from inevitable corrosion. As a premium or optional feature on the Torque Link, powdercoating would be a very reasonable add-on to the cost.

Well, the people that contacted me within 24 hours after the sale ended, I extended the price specifically for them. If you are seriously interested in grabbing a kit today, shoot me an email to aaron@nwpengineering.com and I can give you the $119.99 price still. But this will only apply if you contact me right away. I can't continue to do this weeks from now. 
But, I usually don't mind extending a sale by a couple days if people need more time to gather their funds. That is, if I have a sufficient number of kits in stock.

That's what I'd like to release before the end of this week; the retail pricing, as well as, the limited time only Introductory Sale Pricing which will be much lower.
I have more than tripled our usual quantity for a production batch of Spacers. So my costs have been drastically reduced. I will pass these savings onto the customer. I expect to blow these out at an amazing price as soon as they are released.

Thanks. I will have the retail and sale pricing posted by the end of today along with a little more information about the release date.
Also, this has nothing to do with the Economy Spacer Kit, but I'm also working on an NWP Engineering Cyber Monday sale for this Monday. More info will be posted about that today in a separate thread.

Just out of curiousity, do you have to reset the ECU after installing the 5-piece set? Or since the change is more of a passive one and happens after the MAF, there's no need?
And the engine torque link won't fit the 6th gens, will it? I wouldn't mind ripping out some of the cheesy plastic that fills my engine bay if I could squeeze one of those bad boys in there.

Aaron,
Do you think the economy kit will last between 3 to 5 re-installations? That's how many times I think I would do it for the lifespan of the vehicle.
Also for us in the colder Canadian climate, is it a bad idea to use the 5 pc kit due to our cold winters since you have to plug the heating lines for the last 2 pieces?, it is rare but it can have -30 C with windchill in Toronto.

Thank you everyone!
It's hard for me to determine if someone else can install these Spacers. But if you have a basic understanding on how to use hand tools and a torque wrench and how to follow step by step instructions, there shouldn't be any reason why you couldn't install these yourself.
You do not have to relieve fuel pressure and remove the injectors or fuel hoses. So it makes the install a lot easier. In order to install the Lower Intake Manifold Spacers, it only takes an extra 15 minutes to install them and have the LIM back in place. Just leave the fuel hoses attached to the LIM and there is enough slack in the hose that you can set the LIM on the rear valve cover.
You do not have to reset the ECU, but it's a good thing to do whenever you're working on the car. And it definitely doesn't hurt, other than clearing your radio's presets. The installation instructions say to unplug the battery terminal before starting.
Also, the Air/Fuel Ratio has been tested with our Spacers and there is no change in the fuel mixture that would require a tune either.
Yes, it should easily last more than 3 re-installations.
No, the 5pc is ok to use anywhere in the world and in any climate. It does not lower your coolant temperature, but your intake manifold temperature. The lower the temps on all your intake manifolds, the better.
There are not any heating or coolant lines on the lower intake manifold, only the elbow just behind the throttle body. I recommend that if you drive your car in single digit temps (Fahrenheit), then do not bypass your coolant with the bypass fitting that is included with our Spacer Kits. This coolant bypass has been testing with the Spacers in subzero temperatures without any problems. But just to be on the safe side, don't bypass your coolant if you drive your car in temps below 10*F.
Thank you. Yes, the 5pc Economy Kit will still provide the same accurate dyno proven gains of 10hp and 12 ft-lbs of torque.

With our 5pc kit, you will be insulating the lower intake manifold, which gets very hot, 175-185 degrees. (178 degrees to be exact on our 5pc test vehicle) With the addition of the two thin LIM Spacers, the LIM temps were lowered to 144-145 degrees. That is a 33 degree reduction in LIM temps!
As for the UIM, having the entire 5pc kit installed will lower those UIM surface temperatures by 41-43 degrees. The UIM was 146-147 before. And 104-105 after.
With only the 3pc kit in place, the UIM temps will be decreased from 157 to 127 degrees for a temperature reduction of 30 degrees. And since the LIM Spacers aren't installed, your LIM will still be blistering hot at 175-185 degrees.
When heat soak is taken into consideration during the testing, the 5pc kit really shines as the best. The cooler you keep your intake manifolds, the more power you'll make on those hot summer days when you're hot lapping on the race track or driving in the city from stoplight to stoplight.
