smokenbaby 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2005 (edited) How many people would be interested in a Carbon Intake manifold cover. If there is enough SERIOUS demand I will be willing to make some. Edited February 13, 2005 by smokenbaby Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30stz 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2005 (edited) demand would be dependant on price. Any idea of the cost. Edited February 13, 2005 by E30stz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smokenbaby 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2005 I will hazard a guess and say somewhere around the $300 mark. That will be Clear Coat finish with mounting kit and instructions. For E30 6 cylinders only. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smokenbaby 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2005 Would be very keen if ya could make one up for a e46 ... would need to have a manifold first so I can make a mould. It is something I would be keen to do but not till in a few months. E30 is easy as I have a spare manifold laying around. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smokenbaby 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2005 That's it, add some bling to the engine bay. Can also help stop heat hiting the bonnet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smokenbaby 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2005 Rocker covers are a very complex thing to make. The have an internal baffle plate (for emmision - venting through to breather) and will need to be vac bagged and auto claved. This is going to cost a shite load. Plus I don't have an auto clave. Intake manifold covers are just a moulded and shaped cover that sits on top and over your existing manifold to hide casting marks, unsightly wires etc. They sit 5mm off the manifold so there is an air gap and bolt on using existing mounting points (be it throttle body to manifold and other non used but drilled and tapped holes.

smokenbaby 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2005 quality is only as good as the mould. The more time spent cleaning, sanding, polishing and smoothing the better the finish. All this takes time so the price would have to represent this. I am not talking thousands but will be alittle more than the $300 mark like the E30.
