if the piston has excess clearance then you may also have too much ring gap.

Things to Check. 1) valve seating and the reason a) poor prep b)bent valves 2) piston-wall clearance 3) headgasket 4) unlikely but maybe cam timing I hope this helps.

How about R32 GTR parts? R33 GTR??? R33GTS???? We have the same pending question as our project approaches completion. Is it possible to use the GTR gear? Thanks in advance. Rob

Yes. Stock.

I am implying that once at this level of mod where the stock intake manifold is totally inadequate, we might have top mount injectors and bigger throttle bodies. R BTW. The response time in this forum is very fast.

• The standard throttle body must bolt up, no mods required Check. • Supply a replacement throttle cable, it’s a pain searching for one that reaches Will try to. • The standard sensors also must bolt straight up Check. • Don’t reduce the number of vacuum fittings, increase them. We could do with 3 more please, for aftermarket boost gauge, MAP sensor and EBC connections. T pieces are simply another potential leak. Will have a huge block for all taps. • The idle control bypass is essential, there are 2 connections, one before and one after the throttle body. Both are required. Check. • Include a high mounted cooling system bleed, trapped air is a bitch. Check. • Supply it complete with all gaskets and seals. Bit of a pain..but will try • Have a top feed AND a side feed injector option. Supply the top feed rail with that option. Sorry...why would we need side feed? • If the standard radiator hose doesn’t fit straight on, then supply a replacement Should fit right on...should clear slightly underneath the throttlebody. Thanks for the input.

Sorry for wasting forum space on a self evident question. *embarrassment* BTW. what throttle body is most popular? Stock?

LOL... You crack me up. We aren't bypassing them...I hadn't looked closely at all at the unit till a 2 days ago. The casting will be the same at the base. Wow...for a bunch of guys who have an engine that forces them to route pipe all over their engine bay in an unattractive manner you sure are skeptical. Or you can keep on cutting up manifolds and welding them together...till you run out of manifolds. Thanks for your help anyway. R

We cast all kinds of things...I know the price. The order quantity is likely to be in the 100 range right off the bat.

Thanks for the feedback fellas. I hadn't really looked closely at the piece. We will be doing a fully compatible piece with all the cooling channels etc. The manufacture of the intake is not a worry as far as airflow ( we have experience with this), just the casting of the flange. to get a superior piece (the Greddy is not very impressive imho) seems to be a costly enterprise and we aim to change that. I'll keep you all posted on any progress (or lack thereof). Thank You. Rob

Here's the scoop. We're about to make proper intakes (NOT GREDDY KNOCKOFFS with super ass castings). The bottom of the intakes flange has a lot of channels running through it and a sensors/valves/hosesetc attaching to it. Do we need these? Do you all run these, or is there a way to bypass them? These intakes will feature sheet aluminum plenums, bell mouths and tapered runners. They will also come with the provisions for some VERY large throttle bodies (IE, Q45, mustang etc). help me help all of us. Thanks
