Got the RRM intake manifold and it's installed!
alright children... i put the manifold in... let me start from the beginning...
i opened up the box and it looked beautiful, even though you guys sent me the wrong decals
o well beggers cant be choosers...
installation was a *****, bottom line.... 5 hours long. granted me and my freind aint "certified mechanics" but my buddy knows his imports very very good, and it was still a b*tch to get in...
5 hours later, 11:35 at night i start the 15 minute drive home... that 15 minute drive turned into an hour cruise around south jersey because i had to much fun with it... the gains arent impressive, they are AMAZING. low end, mid, top end... just.... wow... im almost speechless
well for a quick review the gains are great, worththe money, if you guys want more details or a better review, just comment on here and i'll do a better job talking about it i guess....
and Rob. today is saturday, im gonna ship it back to you on monday, just hope you can do me a small favor.... i'll leave my phone number in an envolope, can you guys call me and let me know you put my 200 dollars back in my account or when you's are sending the check to me ( i need the money for an overdue 383 dollar car bill lol)
********** reimundo do you have a link to your registry, i want to see your mods and pics if you have any...

We said we cannot do it right. Maybe they know something or think they know something. We sent our t.b. to best guys in the U.S. $ no object. THey said it cannot be done right.

has anyone had any success with changing it from the fly by wire back to a cable setup using a different T/B... I realise that there will be a few differences like no more cruise control and idle might be a bit different but I know that I could handle not having cruise control and more h.p and torque, surely a bit of dyno tuning could solve any idle issues if a widerband o2 sensor was needed....
Don't worry Rob! The guys at essential speed DON'T know something you don't. In fact, they don't know ALOT of things. They make promisses on things that they don't have all the info on.
We ALL appreciate the fact that RRM isn't this way. Keep up the good stuff dude.

Not being able to upgrade the T/B certainly alters the way that you can plan to do other substantual N/A upgrades.... I suppose the other alterantive is to get the intake manifold port motched and maybe extrude honing done to get every bit of air flow possible....
Has anyone had any luck with advancing the cam - I had heard that the cam comes with 3 profiles - 2 inlet, 1 exhaust and that these can be adjusted accordingly... is there any truth to this....
From what I have been reading on this forum it sounds like the crank pulley is a must buy I wonder if these guys will ship to the land down under most U.S companies are not interested in helping us out
