Hey buddy. I am John and I am the owner of ChristianKustomz. I was wondering if you still make these intake manifolds? If so can you send me pictures of them polished? I am interested in purchasing one and trying it out on our 240sx showcar. Ours is a KA24DE-T. Do you have any of these made for the side feed injectors? If not can you make one for the side feed?If it performs well enough we would like to be a distributor for you and sell them on our website. Please contact me and let me know. Thanks a bunch.

not sure if i showed everyone this one. bolts directly to the head, removes all butterflies, and standard thermostat housing.

this one had the works, billet rail and throttle body along with a good polishing.....and yes its for a fwd but can also be done in rwd

How did the flow rate of the 8 port manifold compare to the 4 port manifold in total flow?

Can you build the 8 port manifold with 8 injectors (one on each port)? I want to run staged injection (SDS EM4-F).

obviously flow a lot more, but what i think is most important is how evenly it flows between the 4 cylinders. looking at approx 1% variance between them all.....it would be hard to improve on that, hand made or cnc

it would be quite easy putting eight injectors, something i have tried to conveince a couple of customers to do since you could use standard issue smaller injectors and have them staged just like your thinking about. add to the price a little but only around $100

I'm thinking maybe we can set-up possibly a group buy on those who are willing to spend the cheddar on a quality part. Any takers?????????

I'm in. 8 port, 8 injectors, RWD, and can you do a fuel rail with the inlets on each end and the outlet in the middle?

What's the current pricing in USD + shipping?

thanks gentlemen....this would definately be best the best way to go about it.

I am happy to take orders and a deposit and if it take a little longer to get the rest of the $$$'s, I am happy to hold on to the manifolds for a few weeks.

How many do we need for a group buy? Do you have a tiered discount setup, ie 5-10 10%, 10-15 15%, etc?

minimum 5 with approx. 10% discount, could be a little more depending on I do the final figures.

I would be (pleasantly) surprised if you can get 10. If so, the discount would be around 20%.

Thanks for the gesture ISL33P, but I hate the idea of owing someone money. I will let you know when I am in a more advantageous financial position.

Price depends on the numbers i get for a group buy and if i can get the flanges cnc'd. For that unit as you see it, polished, Billet 80mm throttle body, Billet Fuel rail, around about the $2k mark. Take away the polishing and 80mm throttle body, its around $1500. A Q45 will do the same just, just cheaper and uglier.

I know the feeling, I hate it as well.

so there aren't any others interested in this at the moment?

How about just the one that bolts on to the butterflies. Looking at $AU850 + delivery for those retail. around $AU750 for a group buy.

I am interested but in something else.

Just want to ask. I want to make a quad throttle for my CA. I got a quad throttle body setup from a GSXR1000, aluminium 90' mandrel bends and a CA inlet manifold and was wondering if you might be able to fabricate it for me?
