47041, INDY MANIFOLD PRODUCTION UPDATE - Anyone near them at all?
Posted by steve0677, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
I called them and they are eager to start production, they could use a little help right now, and need to look at a 2gnt. If anyone is near...

8621 Southeastern Avenue

Indianapolis, IN 46239

Phone: (317) 862-3724

let me know I can set up something so they can take a look at our car. They have somebody with a turbo model near them that is eager to have them look at their, but we want ours first :) . Anybody?

I would be willing to make a road trip and stay overnight some weekend if someone else from KC would drive with me. We could get a couple of us to take our cars up there or just ride together. It might be a fun trip!! Its about 7 hours it looks like.

I would be especially willing if they would give me a deal on one.

How long do they need the car?? Can they look at it on a Saturday?

Although I can't imagine there isn't someone from St. Louis or somewhere closer.

Hey Jamesman, Can you really let them borrow your intake manifold? I just got off the phone with them and would like to see it soon so they can start. That would be so great if we could get it them!

Once they have the intake manifold they would like to have an eclipse to look at. Silvernt DSM has offered to drive down there to let them look at our car. A meeting will be scheduled shortly after they get an intake manifold. A second trip would be needed from someone for testing of the intake manifold in the near future.

hey netrelik I will let u know, i will give them a call tomorrow and see if they would like to see the car monday. he said he wants the intake manifold first, but who knows. :)

Posted by netrelik, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
Also...let them know that I am local and whenever they need a 2gnt that I will be there!! I will probably go there on Monday regardless if they need me there or not to talk to them about it. Hopefully I will have my Modern Performance 60mm throttle by then and I can take that in to show them.

Hey guys...I live in Cincinnati so I'm only about an hour away from Indianapolis. If no one else is going I'd be happy to go ASAP. I'm free this weekend and am on spring break all of this next week. Let me know if you'd like me to help please. I'd love to have my car tested on this new intake!!

Guys thanks Jamesman for being a team player here. He is sending a stock intake manifold to indyheads for them. Once they have the intake manifold they will request to see our car, I did offer saying we could have somebody there on monday but they said after they see the manifold they will want to see a car so in a week or two once they get the manifold we can have somebody drive down there.

Thanks Jamesman!

Let me know once you need someone to bring their car in since I live relatively close to some of the 2gnter's. I'd be happy to bring my car up there. Thanks, Bob

How much HP you think this is going to give us???
48155, RE: INDY MANIFOLD PRODUCTION UPDATE - Anyone near them at all?
Posted by Twiste, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
Neon got 25 to the wheels. We could see similar gains but 15 would just make me happy.
48192, RE: INDY MANIFOLD PRODUCTION UPDATE - Anyone near them at all?
Posted by likestofloorit, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
dang is all i got to say. That seems like alot of HP. You think this thing is going to cost a arm and a leg and a foot?
48201, RE: INDY MANIFOLD PRODUCTION UPDATE - Anyone near them at all?
Posted by PowerEclipses, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
I would think about 15WHP, the Neon heads are pretty different then ours, and there intake manifold totally sucks, It makes some wicked turns. Our head flows better and the intake mani. is a little bit better. I bet if you have a 60mm TB and have the indy, your going to feel some real nice gains, esp with a rebuild head.
48243, RE: INDY MANIFOLD PRODUCTION UPDATE - Anyone near them at all?
Posted by DocWhiplash, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
Have they gotten the mani yet? Someone let me know when they need a car to go there.

wow... that thing looks amazing. i want one - i bet turbocharged applications would get 20 horses to the wheels out of that. our stock manifold is so restrictive.

Well I already updated the other thread but since this one is at the top I'll do it on here too. I went to indy cylinder heads last week and had all the measurements taken in my car. They are very eager to start making this manifold for us. They have a really nice facility and they know there stuff. What they want is to buy a 2gnt to keep up there while they design the manifold. They want to buy a cheep one, but hopefully one that runs for like $1000. I've been looking locally but havent had any luck. I inspected the neon manifolds and they are beautiful pieces. I'm very excited to get one of these on my car now. They really need a car that they can keep for a month or two. As soon as they find one they can get started, so I need everyones help in finding one. I was up there for like an hour and we talked for awhile so if anyone has a question just let me know and I'll try to answer it.

Thanks

ive been checking ebay, here is a beater talon for 1100. 1000 is going to be very hard to come by they may have to get one for 1500. anyway here is the car.

That would be real good imo. They might get it done faster knowing that they're working with someone elses car too. Thanks
