Is there a rough ballpark for price as of yet? Like most things in the Mk3 community, the final price of this product may prove to be cost prohibitive. I hope I will be able to justify the cost for this piece when it becomes available.
ffim available in the near future?

Not to be rude, but that will probably never happen in industry.
Our files, parts, assemblies, and drawings are usually HIGHLY confidential, especially with newly designed parts (non-rework).
When posting pictures, to stay relatively safe on giving away reference geometry tricks... we render pictures and turn off all types of references.
For example, in Jack's pictures of the manifold I can tell how the design engineer or operator referenced his sketch... and it's very different from how I would do it/did it.
But yeah, on topic though: I'd love to see the tooling once it's made!

Haha I know, but it saves me the trouble from spending hours on making one myself
I once went in the lab and spent 6 hours on just a compressor housing, and its still not finished. SolidWorks is tricky, but one of the best.

1 revolve, 1 sweep, 1 extrude, and maybe 1 shell... depending on how you drew it.
Price sounds right at about $900

Hahaha, not what I did. Pretty much everything I've learned I've taught myself. Started off with the donut, cut 25% out and made a straight tube out from it (compressor outlet), put another tube through the middle for the inlet...
Everything but the A/R was to exact spec too. For someone as inexperienced as me, an accurate A/R ratio would be a nightmare.
Anyways, designing a FFIM would be fun. I had an idea of a dual runner manifold with ITBs and butterfly valves separating the two. I never did more than draw it a few times because of how insanely complicated it would be for such little gain.
Sorry updates have been slow lately. Greg had back surgery 2 weeks ago and we are under doctors orders not to let him out of the house for a bit.
We have the drawing getting cleaned up right now by a local friend and we will be having a 3d drawing off of that.
Nope we have ALOT of hours on this design so we won't be giving the drawing up any time soon, sorry.
We are going to be keeping it under 900 don't worry! It will have the IAC, cold start and EGR, the egr will be close to stock location and able to use the block off if you do not want to use it. The cold start is on the bottom like the stocker, and the IAC has a couple of location possibilities. Once we have the 3d print you will understand what I mean.
Thanks for the interest and I will be checking SM alot more now that Greg is home and recovering

If you want some help with the 3d rendering my cousin could probably help you out. A plus side is he has no interest in cars at all.
The St.Cloud crew of supras is now 5 deep do we get any discounts if we all order something at the same time:icon_bigg
Thanks for joining the mail list!
We had a meeting with the company doing the prototype for us today. They are changing a couple little things and we are meeting with them again tommorrow to see there changes. I will post the latest version tommorrow. Then the prototype when that is done.
So what I would like to know from you guys is how many are really interested in BUYING one.
I know it will depend on a few things but lets say the price is $800, it is EGR, Cold Start, Multiple vacuum ports and the IAC is available.
I don't need diff yes or no, just a rough idea so I can get a quantity qoute

Just wondering if this would fit in my car, 1977 Celica with a 7M
I dont have much clearence, I am already sitting very close to the brake booster

I'll have to wait a while, I have the motor out of the car at the moment for some machine work. I'll let you know the measurements when I stuff it back in there
Everything bolts back in the way it should, so everything will operate as beforehand (cept the IC pipes obviously)? Yeah I'll buy one eventually
But for $800 it's not going to be my top priority, if you know what I mean.
