quick wheels Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 The Spacers will be cut by a engineering company that i deal with from high specification aluminium, the template will come from a scan of housing.basic 3d CAD I am a Technical/Design manager, and the company i will be using 'cost dependant' is a precision enginnering company that has an excellent reputation and track history. The product will be manufacured to the highest standard guaranteed, as i will be fitting to my 350Z. seeing if anyone is interested so i can get rough costs see if worth while..............

Gaz Walker Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 There's so many similar products on the market I don't see the point TBH, but I guess you have your reasons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quick wheels Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 There's so many similar products on the market I don't see the point TBH, but I guess you have your reasons Seen a few products for about £250 etc, however a high quality product for me and others at at reduced cost seems simple!testing the water to see if anyone interested as the more i get manuactured the lesser the cost It is a UK based precision engineering company also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valveman Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 What sort of improvement can be achieved by this spacer. There are lots of claims about these spacers, however to gain more power you need to burn more fuel and air. To gain any real advantage I would expect a remap would be required to achieve anything like the claims made. Anyone fitted one and noticed any improvement?

BladesGrant Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 You generally notice it more in the mid range. The torque figures increase but not really a HP gain. When I was at a tuning place they raved about them saying they are a good mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously you are not going to get rich quick on this one but yet another potential product for forum members to save some hard earned on. Alex.

andlid Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Cool hope it goes well and you can get the kits for under 200£ I'd say there would be plenty of interest the closer to the 100£ you get! Second I would not bother with a outer gasket that you'll need use the loctite blue gasket instead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srobrien Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Good move mate, we need more folk willing to do stuff like this, there seem to be no performance part manufacturers in the uk and it means that we end up paying through the nose for parts.

showtime1 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 i got 11.5 extra when i had mine fitted but i also had a gt airbox fitted. What sort of improvement can be achieved by this spacer.
