Bryan, yes it is ok. Since the Economy Spacer material is a softer material than our type of phenolic, it will bend a little while not installed. But, the Spacers have been CNC machined properly with an end mill and they were pressed flat in a jig during the machining process. So once they are installed, they will lay perfectly flat and match up to your stock intake ports.

 

ORDERED A 5pc SET TODAY but forgot the darn torque link

 

so lets get this straight... If one orders a 5 piece kit, there is no need for the 5 gaskets anymore? just a little RTV?

 

What we where suppose to get a free one or somethiing with the order?

 

just ordered mine too, sick! nwp ftw

 

+1

 

anyone have any input on the gaskets in combo with the spacers? Do i need them? I know the LIM spacers need rtv on both sides, but what about the UIM? the Elbow to the UIM? and the Throttle body to elbow?

 

Bought a 5pc set on Monday!!!

Thanks Aron

 

Just got my 5pc today cant wait until I get everything in this weekend great product well made, thanks Aaron !

 

Use the RTV on those also just dont put a sh1tload so it dont gooze out in the IM...

 

You can also omit the silicone from the top of the plenum spacer and use the factory gasket. That way you won't have to fight to get it off in the future if you need to service bank 1 plugs, coils, etc.

 

Just installed mines last night, takes about 3 hours to do, I changed my spark plugs ( NGK ONLY )as well since the plenum was off. You do not reuse the factory gaskets, you get rid of them, just some rtv silicone on all 5 pieces on both sides and you will be straight. If you dont have the block off plate, GET IT, so your setup is complete. Yup!

 

Just installed the 5 piece economy set last night. I am very pleased with the product. I did get the MIL light after installation, but I followed the instructions for the pedal dance and it went away. Hopefully for good!

Thanks Aaron

 

Did mine yesterday, along with the VIAS delete.

Very smooth, great instructions included with the product to.

The only issue I had is the fact the previous owner/mechanic (I got her with 100k miles on the clock) has stripped one of the TB screws all to hell so I didn't get the TB spacer installed. That slot was polished smooth and I had neither the time nor tools on hand to remove it. Next weekend I should be able to drop in the TB spacer.


Seeing as I live in the great white north I left the coolant lines going to the TB and the difference in temp between the UIM and Elbow is frankly astounding. I may actually remove it eventually as I live in one of the milder parts of Canada, but for now I'll let it sit.

Timely shipping (and no HST slapped on at the border), good products... a great experience all around. Thanks!

 

Thank you everyone for your comments.

 

just placed my order for the 5pc

 

Thank you. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do.

 

I just snapped some new photos of the Economy Spacers today. They are beautiful!

 

This deserves a bump anyway, but Ill be ordering mine soon.

 

I appreciate it. I haven't officially started a sales thread in the classified section. So that's why I'm not posting too much pricing or sales relating information in this thread. But we have plenty of kits in stock right now.

Thanks again for the bump! Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

You got it! Thank you!

 

Put my money where my fingers are and finally ordered a set to install when I do my plugs in the next week. Thanks so much for inventing this economy set, Aaron!

PS: Dunno why, but Paypal showed economy USPS vs priority was both $10 to 40205. I picked priority, but then I felt bad. I don't want to be ripping you off or anything, you know?

 

Well folks I finally did mine and another Org member's and noticed that we both got CEL codes ( I haven't had a CEL since 2004, Which was a faulty Cam sensor!) Anyways I know I was really conservative with the RTV and it still oozed out the mating surface between the UIM and LIM...So I redid the Org member's intake and used a little less and let the RTV somewhat skin up before assembling and it seemed to work out fine.... Now on my 03 I removed everything all the way down to the heads and Decided not to use RTV on the gasket between the heads and the LIM, but rather using a different setup: Oem Gasket > NWP spacer > Oem Gasket....I did this after seeing a intake spacer kit for a SR20 yrs ago that included gaskets for both sides of the spacers thru the entire intake system and I thought it was better and a cleaner install than the RTV method! I had a slight hesitation when I used the RTV because the RTV oozed out and was interfering with my fuel injector spray pattern which gave me a code! I used the gasket/spacer/gasket setup on both the elbow and TB as well! Now for the LIM and UIM mating surface.....I noticed how tight of a squeeze it put on the RTV and decided to use spray on Copper sealant and It worked out perfectly leaving a small thin trace of sealant it oozed out from between the mating line....as for my Opinion of the NWP spacer kit it's noticeable peppier throughout the entire RPM band.....I also installed my new Oem Coilpack units (6), NGK Iridium Spark Plugs (6), and new 6th gen V/C's for the front and rear! I had no leaking rear V/C issues by the way and I've clocked 135K on my 03 now.....

 

Thank you for your business. All Spacer Kits are shipped via USPS 2-3 day Priority Mail even though it may say Standard Shipping. I do not like using USPS Parcel Post since it takes too long for the package to get there.

I'm glad everything is working great for you!

 

For the record, the spacers actually are that smooth. I thought these images scattered around the forum were photoshopped demos of what the pieces would/should look like. Nope, the finished product is smooth as glass. Perfect CNC work, indeed.

So, people, please give Aaron more money so he can keep making more stuff. You won't regret it.

 

I'm really impressed with the added torque to the entire rpm band...I'm waiting for my Wifey to drive the "03" and return home with "Eyes Wideopen" ....she'll notice the peppiness and more than likely ask what I did to the the Car?

 

Thank you. Yes, these are not 3D renderings. They are REAL photos of the ACTUAL parts. They look every bit as good as our Phenolic Spacers.

Very nice! Thanks!

 

Aaron what would be the chances of you making a single IM spacer out of SS for a project i'm stewing in my head?

 

I am not setup to make any custom parts. I'm sorry. Are you looking for a port matched flange to make a custom IM? Just curious.

 

Yup i got a ideal i want Nmex to try out after i weld up my ideal not for production just a S&G type thing

 

Very nice. I'd love to see pics of the project whenever you start.
