Here's the deal. I can have a reputable manufacturer produce these for us, but I don't know if there is enough interest? All 'constructive' critizism is welcome. At this time I do not have prices set in stone. As said earlier I 'm trying to find out if there would be enough demand to warrrant me forking out the dough to have these made. Give me your thoughts and I'll keep this updated.




Edit: Bringing this from the dead to see if there might be anymore interest before I let it go. The updated specs are at the bottom of this page. Take a look see what you think. I'd really like to help you guys out, let me know.

Who's the dealer.

tampamax

Do you mean the manufacturer? I'm dealing directly with the man.
And I can't disclose that right now, because I need to protect my investment. I'm trying to find out if there is enough interest to warrant the trouble i'll have to go through.

max'n out

Yeah thats what I mean...and sorry to say this but theres not gonna be any real interest if nobody knows who's doing it.

I know there would be reservations about commiting to a product from an unknown manufacturer. However, I'm trying to gauge if there might be a small market for copper gaskets for the max family. Not devulge all my info right this second. This could be more than just head gaskets too. A while ago there was a bit of fuss over not having this as a viable option for max owners...I am trying to provide this to you guys.

As far as credibility this company is the "most often specified" provider of custom gaskets for the NHRA grag racing circuit. It does get any better than being the go to guy for the hard core dragsters.

I personally would not be interrested. I am not going to touch any of the internals on this car.

tampamax

Thanks for the feedback. Do you plan to modify much?

I am very interested in the copper head gaskets. Just talk with him more and get some prices to us.....

interested, get us some prices, and find out if they can make slightly thicker gaskets.

jmartinson

i would be interested. if the general consensus is that it is likely to be a quality product, i will definitely buy it. i am planning on doing a P&P job on my intake and heads within 6 months, so that would be the ideal time to put the cu gaskets in.

i just bought a 2k gxe (selling my mustang) haven't done much reseach on that aspect of the vq30, but provided people have seen decent gains, i will be doing this for sure.

thanks.

I have done
Cai,udp,y-pipe,cat,cat-back for performance, but I think I will be stayign with bolt ons. Plus handling mods interior and exterior mods.

Looking for another car just not sure if I am goign to get a 300zx TT, rx-7 or 3000gt.

What does this benefit? higher compression, stronger or what?

think about it...you normally seal using asbestos fiber gaskets...imagine using copper gaskets...they are practically a lifetime gasket and can be reused over and over again. How much is one for a v6 (like ours)?

AgaricX

I'm listening.

I'm also doing a P&P and getting better cams.

Boltons are only the beginning

The org wasn't notifying me of posts. Thought there was no interest at all. Here are some more details.
1. custom bore sizes
2. custom alloys from 110 to 116(defines the softness/hardness)
3. largest range of gasket thinckness in industry, availible gauges .050 to .068-may go thicker depending on application
4. quality control tolerances held under +/- .0005
5. 100% satifaction return policy
I don't have an exact price because of the many variables involved with the differences between custom order gaskets. However, they have given me no indication to believe that the price will EVER be over 100 dollars, custom or standard. Hope this helps a bit. Pass this on to your friends because I "may" be able to get custom fits for other vehicles import or domestic. I would rather help us out first because I drive a max. Just looking to get more interest and feedback. Thanks for all the responses so far, keep 'em coming.
To the best of my knoledge the only other company that is willing to or has done a gasket for the max is SCE, I think that's the name. Some one correct me if i'm wrong. The last I heard the pair was 100 and you can get only one size(oem). Remember I can take care of ALL GEN's for any size!

More like SHAMEFUL. Did I try to go and highjack or ***** up your thread, no. I would appreciate the same kind of respect.

max83

Relax, all I did was post to let everyone know the options for copper head gaskets.

BTW how did I ***** this thread?

MAXIN

iTrader: (5)

Ok, I dont know much about head gaskets so im still learning.... this was quoted from a previous boost related post:

I forgot who said it but can your guys get this size or is this a typo and they meant 0.50???

tampamax

Doh, good lookin out. That is actually my typo and you are correct the gauges are .050 to .068. It has been edited and thanks for bringing that to my attention.

putting your own group deal in someone elses project thread is bad org etiquette

solo*max

tampamax

Look at the bottom of page two. Thanks for checking this out.
