WE NEED ANOTHER CUSTOM PARTS GUY....

How about you make us some Poly eng/trans bushings like you did in that maxima(?) of yours!

I'm sorry it's taking longer than expected. But, this kit WILL be made. I haven't given up.

PU mounts are a very slight possibility in the distant future. I am concentrating on a full Intake Spacer Kit first for the Frontier.

You have email. Depending on how long you would need the truck for, I might be willing to let you use my truck (since I am only an hour away) to mock up and test your IMS. This would be faster than waiting on the parts. Just a thought.

Thanks for your support. I already have a local test vehicle lined up. But, in order to accurately do the CAD drawings, I will need these parts in my possession. Plus, I will need them to check the prototypes once they are made to make sure everything is port matched flawlessly. Then, they will be installed on the truck for testing.

Awesome to hear. Im more interested in the mounts if you'd be willing to use me as a test dummy... I can get you some mounts at discounted cost and Ill even pay shipping to you. Maybe we should pm this.. hahah. But I will say, I need engine/trans/transfercase mounts.

What all parts do you need to finish this? I might be able to get you some parts..

Feel free to shoot me an email at [aaron@nwpengineering.com] instead of PMing me. I'll be able to respond much faster.

The parts I need is the Throttle Body, UIM, and LIM.

update?

[shinermiller]

last i heard from him Via Email he was headed out to a big car meet thing. No telling whats going on now. I imagine back burner?

COLLECTOR-INTAKE MANIFOLD = 137.46
LOWER INTAKE MANIFOLD = 86.50

So not to be an *** about things, espcially since i had to back out on you about the parts, but the stuff you need really isnt that expensive. you dont need a throllte body to do a spacer, you can use the bolt pitch and prole from the plenum.
and it doesnt even take that long to design the parts....i think i knocked out the IMS in about 3hrs and it only took that long because I was doing all the channels for gaskets and a few tweaks.
So if you wanted to do these bad enough, you could either pick up the parts new or work out something with the members for help...


Done...maybe i should make parts....

I apologize for the delay. I have been pretty busy lately with my engine blowing up on me and the car show we had late last month. But just last night, my test vehicle guy told me he's ready to do these tests as soon as possible. So, I will have easy access to his vehicle whenever I want. That will really help move things along smoothly.

Also, the manifold pieces I need are in the mail as we speak. I should have them by next week.

And I definitely need a throttle body in order to properly design this kit though. The NWP Spacers are always matched to both mating manifolds for the best fitment possible. Also, I believe that the owner of the test vehicle is willing enough to let his car be down while I use his TB for the design.

I've always been a perfectionist. If I can't design the kit the way I know it needs to be made, then I won't release it for sale.

But I have not forgotten about you guys and appreciate everyone's support.

I will definately be in the first group buy
