Max Capacity Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Looks like nice clearance between the intake manifold and the front of the core. that's always been a tight place. Does it mount to the stud that's on the bracket with the big brown connector ? 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

Does it mount to the stud that's on the bracket with the big brown connector ? I think the angle of the photo throws you off here... It looks like there's a couple of inches based on the turbo to ic connection between them. Probably has a mount that replaces the engine hoist hook like the PW unit.

baconbits Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I wish people would realize that product development takes much longer than they think. If they waited any longer, there would be less interest generated (this is free advertising almost). Releasing stuff like this at the end, it would amount to "Hey, this is how we did it" without any teasers.

I'd rather have to wait longer and get a better product because they actually took the time to find out what people wanted anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegacyDan Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Glad i ordered my Process West kit so If this really is amazeballs i may switch to it down the road, but it might not be that cost effective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compsurge Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I just took my CNT downpipe off and put a GrimmSpeed on. Aside from the seemingly undocumented need for an O2 sensor extension (I just cut and added cable), it is far superior. I could actually fit a box wrench on the bolts (!!!) It's like they designed it with installation in mind! It's the little things that count. Little things are details that take proper planning and design process. AND TESTING. If you're waiting for a GrimmSpeed unit it's because you know you want a quality piece and have no pressing need to get an intercooler at this very moment. I guarantee you the FMS knockoff is going to be a POS that requires a hammer for installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was more disappointed I was under the car and went to plug the O2 sensor in and I had about 10" of air that couldn't be gapped. I knew how to fix it, it just wasn't a "documented accessory" or something I knew prior to purchasing it. I did it on a Sunday (stores closed early) and didn't feel like having an incomplete project One of the first extensions I found was $30, at which price I'd rather get a universal O2 sensor and crimp it into the original wiring harness anyway. I'm not afraid of cutting and splicing wiring on a sensor. A good crimp will not fail since it essentially cold welds the copper together into one solid piece.

I had this happen with my turbo xs downpipe before the GS came out. It seems to only be a problem in the 05 and 06 because apparently the plug is shorter. It took a while before anyone I contacted even had an answer for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow05gtRI Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 from the thread on nasioc: Regarding pricing, you've been getting vague answers from our customer service guys because I've been giving them vague answers until we can confidently nail things down. With that said, let's nail down the pricing right now! MSRP for the full kit (TMIC, silicone, splitter and hardware) will be $999.99. That's a $150 savings over that other option, for a much nicer setup. You can expect trusted dealers to be selling as low as $879.99. Group Buy pricing will blow both of those out of the water.

Well yeah, but as stated before, you'll be able to buy the kit without splitter as well, to keep costs down. in4gb pricing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
