Mattndew76 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 After looking these things over on Google I have the notion I can make these ITB's Anyone know the retail on these? I want to see if I can undercut the prices. Matt D Quote Link to comment
datrod Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Matt. I've also thought about doing them. They don't look that hard to make. I think a set for a 4 cyl are in the $2K range. Ask Mr Big Tanker, He has a set on his truck. Quote Link to comment
Mattndew76 Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 I have a fixture for doing the butterfly valves already. I agree they look simple to guys like you and I :D Im in. Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 I have them on my FJ20 and there great. Why don't you call the guy Steve I think he wants to sell the business. Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 And there less then 2000.00 with manifold.shipped ready to go. Quote Link to comment
Mattndew76 Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 I would make them from solid billet vs the extrusion for cosmetic reasons, but I can see the cost savings with extruded bodies. Plus I do not have the capitol to acquire a functioning company. Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 If you can make them then right on. There is so many places that make them though. Is it really worth all the trouble to do it. Or is that much cheaper in money and time. I guess it would. Quote Link to comment
Mattndew76 Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 I have the material and the tools. So way less than purchasing. I don't place $$ value on my project time. Now if I'm building ITB's for someone else's 1200cc coupe than you bet they would have to decide what's worth it. the lowest amount I have seen for 4-ITB's is $900.00 1 Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 There is a cool set for L series blocks in Aussie land down under. I think he wanted 1200.00 though. Quote Link to comment
