greddy provides easy access to the plugs for me.. of which i change quite often

the only gripe ive got with it is the fact that it needs to angle down a bit for my application..

might be interested in yours once im done with the alternator relocation... might need the clearance

Cool, i'll keep you updated, I might just wind up making a couple for people I know as I've discovered I'm seriously lazy LMAO.



but yea I've got some tricks up my sleeve so it may come out pretty freaking good, gotta see.



I'll post a prototype once i finish it, cut out the TB flange for it the other dayjust working on how to merge from the outlet to a 3" pipe, gonna require some fancy work but meh whatever.

Thats actually on the job app for moderator if you check "yes i am extremely motivated and ready to do a good job" we round file your application cause we don't want someone motivated making the rest of us look bad.

one correction on the tb the greddy is made to be 2.75 for those running stock i/c piping and theres a reason that after that 2.75 section theres a second lip because it's made for people with larger than stock set ups to have a 3 inch inlet you just cut off the smaller section up to the lip.lil some thing i learned from r and d at trust in japan.if you could make a set up lik ethe hks or feed inlet it would def sell.

If you do make a cast TB elbow like the HKS unit I will be a customer in the future. I have to mod Greddy units for my V-mount setups.

I've actually got a few models running out in the streets right now, none cast but each one i spent a decent amount of time on making sure it would be easy to replicate. Hoping to start creating an inventory this spring and hopefuly sell this summer.





sorry ive gone silent lately, so much stuff going on no more computer time but I have all my rx7 projects flying, you guys should see results soon. Also as a side note i no have access to a flowbench, which im going to use to make this elbow more refined.

aiming for lower then the price of the greddy. it will no longer be cast which will help keep the price down, just trying to make it better looking ATM, all 5 units I made have proven reliable and good fitting. flow is also being optimized.



Hopefully i can get some traction on completely wrapping it up this summer, i did get a jig almost 100% then its just a matter of actually welding up some units. for super cheapo ones i can leve it in it's natural state so you can powdercoat, polish, whatever it yourself as an option i will most likely offer powder-coating.
