A nice new one. Then he scans in the gasket to make the 1/2" aluminum spacer. 1/2" is the thickest he can go. So, I'm sure JB weld between two pieces will be fine since this machine is very precise in it's measurements and cutting. Aluminum seems to be the easiest and cheapest material. So, I will probably make some with the stock measurements since everyone is interested. Then, I will just have to port mine by hand to match my ported TB and upper intake. I have a spare VE TB and VE Auto intake manifold, so I am able to make sure this spacer matches the stock measurements perfectly. : Why the Ecotek doowhacks don't work for us with VE 5spds... and DO seem to work on VG's as shown by DavidSEL... the bottom pic, according to the FSM, is the "default" position, with the rear of the plenum cut in two... the brake servo vacuum hose is on one "half" of that, so that any intake effect from the ecoteks really does only hit one bank of cylinders until the valve opens up... and even then it may interfere. : now when Aaron gets those throttle body spacers going, it won't be a problem.. tap them directly in there, while it is still all one airstream. : thanks again mike, appreciate it. : m@ Replys: niiiiiiice... tell me where to send money =] n/m mentat (93se 5spd) 20:08:24 9/24/2003 (10) also! i will be in vegas oct2 thru 6th, we should get a drink mentat (93se 5spd) 20:18:22 9/24/2003 (9) I don't like sharing my hookers...
