And your answer was?

I just can't keep up any more! So spraying fuel down a nearly blocked venturi and introducing air through a single point on a runner that's common with the 6 inlets is going to idle? It seems to me injecting at the head for idle and off idle and transitioning over to the other set of injectors in the ends of the horns would be a more streetable option. Don't know if Megasquirt can do that though. Getting 6 ITBs to come off idle smoothly is really tricky. At least on my car it is. Derek

My throttle plates are pretty much air tight and only gets idle air from my IAC block and it idles fine. It's mounted about 18" of 1/2" tube away. Derek

Sounds and looks great. You just can't beat the induction noise from triples. I wish we had an audio filter that would mask out the valve train noise in L6 videos though! Derek

Thanks! I think that there are too many differences for these to fit on a S130. Derek

I bit the bullet and assembled my own kit from Waytek Wire They also have the Metri pack stuff. The down side was I had to order full bags of everything. The upside is the price is right and you always have connectors on hand. This and my large nut and bolt assortment were a couple of the best time saving purchases I've made. Derek

Yes I'm now officially Ken's bit$$ch for a while. But then again none of you guys were offering me stroker parts! The pillar pod mount is really a *****. Although there are a lot of similarities in making patterns for castings and making patterns for vacuum forming there are some key differences. Also I've been at this long enough to know that pre-production is where projects succeed or fail. Even as accurate as my mockup is it's still a bit of a crap shoot as to whether or not I have them in the right spot. When I get more comfortable with the design there will be progress but it's really sluggish right now. Derek

Titanium!!! Thems sure are some fancy bolts you got there. I include a couple 6MM socket head screws. Derek

Still have them PM sent. Derek

Thanks guys. Glad you like the pieces. No problem Ray keep me posted on your progress. Derek

I think you should do the intake manifold as a flow analysis from Cosmos or such. Single color flowing in fading into the runners. Could be a neat effect. Great work by the way. Derek

Yea but not on this! I've got some pattern work I need to get out before I can play. This thing is more complicated that I thought. Derek

What they said! Plus for me I was going to have to upgrade my dizzy and it is just a lot cooler looking. Oh and check my sig if you need a install kit. Man that plug was just shameless. Derek

Is that whimming or whining The covers are 35.00 plus 5.00 for shipping to the us. $45.00 plus shipping for the deluxe cover. Check with me first about Canada and international. This goes for everyone. PM me your paypal address and what you want and I'll send you out an invoice. Thanks Derek

Allrighty then. I have an assortment to choose from. Raw, silver anodize, all black, black with silver Z and black with black Z. The black with black Z is $10.00 more because I have to put it in the mill again after it's anodized and carve out the Z. Also the back ground is no longer anodized so you will have to keep it waxed. They came out really great and I think everyone will be happy. The raw one is already sold to Jeff. AtlantaZ and Soundmasterg have dibs on the black Zs with silver background if they want to pay the extra bucks.I have 2 in stock Lance Vance gets the all black one AtlantaZ and rjstcroix have dibs on the black with silver Z. I have enough material to make 16 more and I'll be making them soon so If you got skipped don't sweat it as I'll have more. Just let me know what color you want. Nobody is tied to their choices so If you want to make a different selection no problem.

Wow great link. Thanks Derek

I would tell you but then you would bother me Right now I have in stock: Kick panel speaker pods for 70/73 .080 cam tower shims .063 cam tower shims EDIS install kits for L6 In development: Distributor block off plate (DUH) "A pillar" pod gauge mount Bouncing around in my near brain Rear trim panels with integrated speaker pods Lower door panel covers with integrated speaker pods and maybe a door pocket if I can fit it. Way down the road. (probably never buy hey I can dream) Dashboard that holds modern gauges a 7" touch screen and modern vents for the AC.

Yes that's getting into the "I'll pay you to take this" relm of parts! I'll do an all silver one first when I start anodizing and post up a picture. Then people can make their final decisions on what color they want then. Derek

I'll have to charge you extra for that No problem I'll put you guys on the list Derek

MMMM.... Purdy Made a new post here cover

I finally got around to making a distributor cover. Here is a shot of the prototype. It's 6061T6 anodized black with the "Z" and outer ring sanded through. The tool paths around the Z will stay there but stuff like the rounded off edge by the lower mount hole won't. I sanded the side of the cover and removed too much material which exposed the timing cover. This will be corrected in the production piece. I'm going to offer them in plain anodized silver as well which I think would look better on my setup. The price is going to be $35.00 plus shipping. Shipping via priority mail is probably around $5.00. If you want a plain one that's not anodized it's $28.00. If you think your going to want one reply to this post with the color you want. I'm just trying to get a feel as to how many to make on the first run. Thanks Derek

Not sure yet. I'll know better tomorrow after i anodize. Derek

Thanks Lance I've had this on the drawing board since I did my EDIS install on my car. I did a couple mock ups and didn't get the Z just right. Plus I wasn't crazy about the design of the Z I was using. Then one thing led to another and it was way back on the burner. I have my own 2 gallon anodizing line. It was giving me fits and I ended up retiring it for a while. I finally pulled everything back out and I think I have the problems solved because I'm getting great results this time. I feel bad about jumping in here with this if others are working on theirs but I was going to come out with it anyway so now's a good a time as any! Here's what I'm running right now. It's a piece of corian countertop material! Nothin but the best for my car. Derek

Hi I've had a block off plate on the back burner for a while now and finally decided to make it a reality. It's basically the same as AtlantaZ has described. Took a couple of tries to get the "Z" oriented properly to the bolt holes but I think I have it nailed this time. Here's a sneak peek. I'll be anodizing it black in the morning and then I'll sand through the Z and outer ring. Should look pretty sharp. Derek

Yea but anyone can do that. It takes a real idiot.. I mean genius to make their own intake manifold. The bottom line is every time you open the hood you'll know it was worth it. At lest that's how it is with me. Great fab work. Derek
