^ Yeah, I got one of the early production model HP Performance kits, and they have yet to work out all of the hardware completely... the main thing I am going to have to do for it to install is get this plate and have some mounting hardware attached to the downpipe (currently a V-Band connection... not the stock one).

Thanks again guys. Ben, you have a PM!

my pants just got tighter.

 

how much for the block off plates?

 

You are the forth person since this thread started who wants one
Like I said, I made 2 dozen as a favor. I will have to look tomorrow in the garage to see how many are left.
The fitment is perfect.






You guys thinking of making your own, it is not cheap to make one. You need a 3/16 thick piece of aluminum. you will have to buy a 12 inch by 12 inch minimum, no one will sell the metal in less of a quantity. Then take an hour or more of your time to cut and shape.

 

 

Hey Sideways I am doing another intake manifold job for a German friend of mine. It is my first full 70 mm bore, all the others have been up to 66 mm.

The welds came out nice and the bore is sweet. I am working on a little porting of the runners now, she should be ready for service soon

 

i just bought a piece of aluminum from ace hardware. cost me $14. it was 4ft long. i've been using the same piece to make brackets for a while. u can see the piece in both of these picks. i ended up painting it black.

 

$14 bucks, not bad. From the pic it does not look 3/16 thick. If it is not thick enough it will flex then deflect. The one I make is only a few bucks more.

If it is thin, like 1/8 you can make another and double it up

 

forgive the ignorance here, but what exactly is the purpose of the 2ndary air system?

 

Adding air at startup to fire off the catalytic converter.
