Looks like a nice piece. Good luck with it.

I know of a complete RB26 setup thats for sale

[uber95]

add me to the 20 list plz....Have $ waiting....

[BrodyGoble]

the adapter piece has to be atleast 1" thick to clear the waterneck... The kit will include all hardware and the 1" longer studs. We are re-digitizing the completed piece after we have done all the custom "by hand" work, this will allow us to do more with the waterjet and less with the tedius milling, all-in all it will look better than the one you have seen!

Close to getting a price, blitz used to sell one for $789 for just the piece, mine will include all hardware, the longer studs and everything, we may have to do a slight modification to the waterneck so that is what is holding it up right now. It will all be included in the kit so it is really easy to install for everyone and there will be no hidden surprises.

The price will be considerably cheaper than the one Blitz made and will include all of the necessary parts for the conversion!

[Nick51]

Count me in as well for the 20! I will have some money to spend here in a few months.

Cant wait to say...yeahhh i got ITB's on my rb20

Now thats music to my ears, i figured but didnt know if anybody was going for this setup. I was hopin to be one of the many to post a write up about it. But thats good less work for me .

$789 is rediculous for a plate. unless it come with the rb26 intake manifold too. for the rb25 guys, less than that get you a greddy intake manifold.

Agreed. $789 is ludicrous. But I would still rather have ITB's over a GReddy IM any day.

[Chaos the Xile]

^^ NO SH*TAdd me to the buyers list for the RB25 plz! Very interested great job btw. looks outstanding!

[nizmo zilvia]

For $800 Im out. WAY too much just for a plate. Yet alone another $200 - $400 just for a RB26 mani w/ ITB.

Zilvia,

Brody _never_ said it would be $800. He mentioned that Blitz sold one for $789, but then said :

[nizmo zilvia]

I dunno. We'll see.

[uber95]

I share zilvia's feelings..It would have to be 1/3 of that $700+ to get my money for an adapter plate no matter how nice.. Just the mention of "Blitz used to sell one for $789.00" scares me..I'm not in anyway insinuating that people will be getting charged $300.00 or more for it, I just wont be buying one at that price point..

[BrodyGoble]

you have to remember that i am selling it as a kit, included will be all the hardware and longer studs for your motor. There may have to be also a waterneck modification piece which will also be included.

The price is not $789!

[nizmo zilvia]

Hey, we support you just when something costs that much from a manufacture then it would be something around that price. Yours might be $500 or w/e. Not sure. The cheaper the better. Just I wouldn't buy it for alot of money. Hopefully u got enough to make the price decent.

[BoostFab]

since when it's politically correct for a plate to cost more than the whole intake manifold itself .... make no sense.

R&D time, Demand, Brand Name, Small Orders (as opposed to building 100+ units), etc... It may look like a simple adapter plate, but there is a lot more going on in the background that justifies its price. Personally, if I didn't make $100-$200 profit per unit, it wouldn't be worth my time.

true also factoring in the cost of materials, plus the use of the machine to make the plate, on top of the additional machine work to get the ports matched up evenly. I mean for ever $3-400 its worth it simply cause of the R&D going into this plate, and they really don't have to generate them for public use this COULD have been a one off and nobody would have came close to it unless he sold the car.

[StricNyne]

who knows if he gets enought interest he could lower the price i mean making 50 would be cheaper than making 25 just, if i get this i am going to follow someones legacy with an idea they had !!

[tight240]

Yea you would be, but think about it this way............. you already have by puttin an RB in your car, but it feels great

[craz4240]

Just say yay or neigh guys and then we can decide if we want it once he has the price layed out.

[BrodyGoble]

Sure the adapter plate may be a little pricey for what it looks like, but we start out with a solid 1" piece of aluminum and then it is completely water jetted and alot of hours went into milling it to get the ports right. Hopefully when we re-digitize the piece this will take some of the labor out.

Think of this way, a rips plenum is $1200 for say... Here you can have a complete setup with the rb26 manifold, itb's everything, for $200 and say a $500 adapter piece including all required hardware, it will be a kit.

$500 less than a rips, not from Australia, and itb's are kinda cool!

Anyways not trying to sell anything here or make a profit, but I was in everyone elses shoes and got so frustrated with the lack of manifolds out there, so I am just trying to help everyone out!

Thanks, Brody

[nizmo zilvia]

We greatly appreciate all the time and effort you doing this for us as well. This thread was just to show us that you done a ITB setup and soon myself and everyone became very interested in it. So if anything we should be lucky to receive this.

The only difficult part I see are the drilling of the intake ports. Especially with them angled shaped holes. Anything else just takes time but isn't as hard as the ports.

So thanks. I look forward to this and keep us updated. I don't plan on spending more then $600 for the full setup.

[uber95]

I have to reiterate my statement..I personally won't pay $500.00 for an adapter plate made from aluminum, regardless of how many studs and bolts it comes with..If the price was more in the $300.00 range I would be a player for sure.. Not trying to throw a monkey wrench in your deal, but that's MHO....

[BoostFab]

$200 for a complete rb26 intake manifold is quite lucky and rare, more like over $500 sometimes more
