aaron, email set to you bout the dek testing....

 

with these spacers, is everything gonna line up correctly still? For example the EGR guide tube and the brackets that hold up the back of the intake manifold?(Which Im sure you guys knew about) Other than that it looks like a professionally made product!

 

Thanks for the offer. I will let you know if we decide to use your car as discussed.

 

Yes, the EGR guide tube still lines up, but the EGR flange bolt holes need to be enlarged to ensure an easy install. This is very easy to do with the optional step drill bit. But, we made sure the stock EGR system is functional once the spacers are installed.

And we recommend to leave off the intake manifold support brackets. If you feel you must install them, they could probably be reinstalled. You may have to enlarge those bolt holes also.

 

how long will this sale last?

 

There is no set end date for this sale. But I will keep it open for a minimum of two weeks.

 

this is ok for us mevi owners too?

 

nice, if i only had the money

lol and U posted it on April fools day U should have jacked the price to 1G just to mess with people

 

Yes it is! It's already been installed and tested on a 4th gen with MEVI and everything is perfect.

 

sweet ill be on this mid april, i just spent my budget on a new axle

 

so this won't work for 4th gens with the 00vi?

 

This has not been tested just yet. It could possibly work, but the ports will need to line up flawlessly for it to be of any benefit.

Right now, we are looking for a guinea pig for testing with the 00vi.

 

Could you make these gaskets for other cars?

 

Yes, we can make intake spacers for any vehicle as long as we see a potential gain and there is a
demand for it.

 

tested as in dyno tested or tested as in fit tested?

 

Sorry. Tested as in test fitted. But the gains with the MEVI are definitely there.

 

what kind of hp gains do you get and is that spacer is good for a 1995 turbo max

 

What about offering just the LIM spacers for us 00VI guys? I know it's been mentioned in the past, but I didn't know if there was a conclusion. I think there'd be alot of interest....and you'd get some business that you otherwise wouldn't as the 00VI guys won't buy a full kit.

 

You gain 8hp, which will mostly be below 5K rpm. You will experience a much smoother powerband with increased torque along with drastically reduced heat soak.

And yes, it's highly recommended for turbo applications. If you are installing this on an engine that sees more than 8psi of boost, I would suggest using "Permatex 1 Minute Gasket" instead of normal black RTV. It's much more durable, but more expensive.

Since the kit is still so new, we have not seen enough demand to separate kits. So more than likely, to keep orders simple and costs down, we will only sell this as a complete kit. They are produced as full kits. This could change in the future, especially if more interest is shown in the LIM Spacers.

Right now, we are currently looking to test the 4th gen kit on the DEK engine. But, if the ports do not line up perfectly, we won't recommend it.

 

Alright, that's understandable, I'll just hope for a huge demand from DEK and 00VI guys. Also, if by chance your spacers lined up on the DE and on the DEK, do you think they'd line up on a DE with DEK LIM, for us 4th gen 00VI's? I mean the LIM's are interchangeable and the heads are the same riiiiight?

 

Our UIM Spacers are port matched to the 4th gen LIM itself. So it really only depends on which LIM you are using. If you have a 4th gen LIM, then the entire 4th gen kit should match up and fit perfectly. We don't know at this point if the 4th gen kit will match the ports on the DEK LIM.

 

Gotcha. Well if you need someone to test-fit the DEK LIM....let me know

 

Will do. Thanks.

 

would this be a negative or a positive if i ported my LIM?

 

not really sure what you mean...but I'm going with negative as the spacers won't match your porting job.

I've got two spare 4th gen LIM's. If you need one let me know. I'll sell one REAL cheap.

 

The spacers are matched perfectly to the VQ30DE LIM. In my experience, porting the LIM will not help much if at all. All you may be able to do is remove all the casting flaws and that's it. You shouldn't be doing any enlarging of the ports. But if you do decide to enlarge the ports, you can always port the spacers as well to make sure they remain port matched. Just make sure you wear a face mask to not breath in the dust caused from porting these spacers. It can be hazardous.

The biggest gain would be to port the UIM to match the spacers and LIM since they are drastically undersized and mismatched straight from the factory. That is why the spacers help airflow since you are removing a poorly matched intake manifold gasket. Anything to help smooth the transition from one manifold to another will help airflow.

 

Will be buying in the near future need another month or so to pay off other mods first

 

Just to let everyone know, this sale ends April 30th.

 

Hey Aaron, I just ordered off your site. Cant wait to install this with my mevi

Also what is the purpose of the coolant bypass fitting? Why is it necessary?

 

The coolant bypass fitting is used to bypass the coolant from the Upper Intake Manifold. Once the Thermal Intake Spacers are installed, you do not want coolant flowing through the manifold heating things up. The spacers will still work as they are suppose to, but bypassing the coolant helps them insulate better.

On the VQ30DE Kit, coolant is flowing directly behind the EGR Tube. So even if you live in a severely cold climate, you should still be ok. Also, you have coolant flowing through the throttle body. This was not bypassed b/c of the Fast Idle Control. So there is only one brass bypass fitting included.

Please feel free to go ahead and read over the instructions ahead of time. You can download them in pdf format on our website. If you have any more questions, feel free to email me or post them here.

Thanks.

 

Received the kit today, very fast shipping as promised!...thanks alot aaron and also thanks for clarifying the coolant bypass purpose.

 

No problem. Please feel free to contact me anytime if any questions come up.

 

With the birthday right around the corner, I linked this to the better half as a desired birthday present... I hope she gets the hint!

If not, I will be purchasing with the next paycheck. Quality looks amazing!

 

Hope it works out for you.

 

Aaron,

I just placed my order. Thanks!

 

Thank you. If you have any questions about your order, please feel free to contact me anytime at [aaron@nwpengineering.com] or 252-747-7672.

 

So you wont' be selling these any more? Or, how much will the projected price be??

 

No, these Thermal Intake Spacer Kits will stay on the market. But this discounted price will only be effective for the month of April. The normal price is $215 plus shipping.

 

Bump. This sale ends this Wednesday at midnight!
