Richard, any progress on the IM or any of the other pieces you are working on??

Would you happen to have one of your pre-production units liying around that you would like to spare? JK well not really... if this thing doesn't make it to production, sign me up for one of the left overs.. I'm looking for an air intake tube also... I'm just running an HKS filter snapped to the MAF housing.

sweeeet, how much is this gonna cost?

CASTREX

If we start showing some real interest and the piece actually makes it to production we can expect a price around $700. Which could be reduced on an eventual GB.

jspectoaster

<---- is very interested

Yang

I would like to have one too....

CASTREX

Richard is looking for at least 10 people for him to make a production run.

Who is "really" interested?

Zefoxe

I'd be interested for the summer

Yang

I need it be smog legal for cali...

pickledchang

do you have any photos of the prototype installed?

i also noticed this pull was measured in mph instead of rpm... im guessing it was done in 3rd gear? do you have a graph measured in rpm? are the runners on the intake manifold shorter or longer than stock?

dying for info here, heh...

pickledchang

or a graph of the torque curve?

jspectoaster

i'm really very interested

unxpectederror

holy flying monkey dookie... the xd already has a intake manifold but yet the tC has nothing...something very wrong with this picture

you need to make the tC a intake manifold ASAP
im sure tC owners would be on that like flies on cow poo

pickledchang

^^^ sorry to burst your bubble, but the company that has apparently created an intake manifold for the xD has long since disappeared after making this thread about it. i even tried to email and call them, and wasnt able to get a hold of anyone.

but damn do i want one...

pickledchang

update: i did finally get a hold of someone, richard himself... and apparently they are just waiting for enough interest to put it into production. i personally just want a little more info before i buy, info like new fuel maps that may need to be uploaded, installation difficulty, etc...

i guess they just need about 10-20 people to for sure step up and be in for a group buy before its profitable for them to produce it. $700, maybe a little less if there is a group buy, is a steal for 25hp to the wheels compared to any other power mods out there for the xD.

So wait, what is it exactly that they're needing more people to be interested in before they put it in to production? The first post mentions an air intake, 2.5in cat-back, intake manifold and an off road down pipe (whats that?). So the $700 would be for all those pieces or what exactly? If there would be more info given.. I might be interested.

pickledchang

i doubt it would be $700 for all those pieces. even though thats still pricey (Skunk2 makes honda manifolds for around $300) its better than nothing. ive almost spent $700 just for the catback and intake i have now for at most 5-8hp? but if another $700 gets me 20 more hp to the wheels, count me in!

the off-road downpipe would be a new pipe without cats on it that goes between the header and the catback. but then you run into emmisions problems, CELS, and the like.

jspectoaster

yes please tell us how much and what we get im hella interested in 25 more horsies

pickledchang

thats all the info ive got, i was only able to speak to him briefly... but it sounds like we are slowly going to have to get people together, and maybe do like a deposit or something to show our interest, i dunno...

ChelsDS

Before I give any money towards this I want to know what the money is going to

CASTREX

I've been waiting for this. Count me in for when it happpens.
