20610, What parts would you like to see?
Posted by turbo8u, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
Like the title says, what parts would you like to see made for our platform? Also, cost estimate what you would pay for these parts.

thanks guys

Cost? Oh you really asking to get it shoved right up your hinde quarters arent you?

I dont really want anything, I am much like Josh, I make what I want. I have seen many people want things like:

Larger oil pan
2.4L swap parts
Intake manifolds
Tubular exhaust manifolds
Downpipes

Since the neuspeed bar isnt made anymore, there is a place to start since many people were ok with paying 100.00 for a quality bar.


the problem is no one wants to pay for what it takes to make a quality part.

All oldskool aside, I think terry has listed more then enough for you to start working on. What ever happened to you and Driggs making a functional long tubular header?

Oh yeah, only other thing I can think of is develop an ITB setup.

Tubular exhaust manifold and a 3" downpipe.

I understand these things are not cheap to make, and usually a one-off design. With that said I'd still pay what its worth.

you guys understand, a tubular manifold might not fit a certain set of turbos. I was thinking of doing a run of manifolds for the hahn 16g first, with a 3" downpipe included. Only because I have the turbo, and can use my own engine bay to make sure it fits. I'll make anything you want, but i'll need something to fit everything off of (at least for ONE, jigging the whole setup after then I wont need that particular turbo anymore.

About the LTH for Driggs, im ready...Driggs...come on out to SoCal for some new castles and a canyon run in the talon!!

Also as far as intercooler piping, that will also obviously change with the location of the turbo, and the outlet of the turbo

Im discussing all this more with Chris, so we'll keep you updated with our progress getting this ball rolling for us.

how about those big brake brackets you were working on? something that will make wilwood calipers (4 pot slim versions, or even the regular size) bolt right up. both front and back. I have NO idea what a ballpark figure would be for those brackets, tho'

I have some that fit the 3000gt calipers, but to fit all the way on you need a larger rotor than the stock 12.5". I made them as a project in school for extra credit...and dropped it for the evo brakes.

Or you could just remove the PS and AC.

so your running evo brakes now? whatever your setup is, I still am interested in doing some kind of big brake setup. I'm gonna be pretty closeby now anyways, looks like I'll be moving to la jolla soon
