Gauging Interest Outlaw Spacers Group Buy
Alright guys I'm thinking about doing a group buy for Outlaw Spacers for anyones of your choice!

Here are a few HP numbers

Now this is an interest gauging thread, if I get enough people interested I will contact Crim about setting up a group buy.

Prices:
Original price: $123 shipped to US and Canada
5-9 People: About $116 Shipped (Paypal Fees Included)
10+: About $111 Shipped (Paypal Fees Included)

They have spacers for High Ports, Low Ports, Roller Rockers, SR20VE's and SR20VE N1 (I'm sure they mean SR16VE N1, but thats what it says on the website?)

Now I already ordered a set, but maybe someone else would be interested

Group Buy is on!

It would basically drill down to having free shipping haha.

If enough interest comes, I will ask the seller if he can ship them to their own addresses or if I will receive all of them and then have to ship them out...

If I have to ship them all out then it wouldn't be worth the money haha...

They thermally isolate the intake plenum from the head. I assume you know cold air is more dense than warm air, which contains more oxygen. so by isolating the intake you get cooler air going into the head. On a hot day i can barley touch the valve cover but i could lay on the intake for hours it stays so cool.

Edit: They also come with a TB heater bypass, as you may know coolant travels through the TB to make the car warm up faster and keep it from icing. So by bypassing it you dont warm up the TB, which is not recommended if you drive in the cold. Its all in the directions.

Basically when you install a Cold Air Intake, you are able to get cold air into the engine, but it warms up in no time.

So to further improve the abilities of a CAI, you can make the engine stay hot while the intake manifold will be cold

I recently did a heater bypass and saw some positive things. But that only keeps the TB colder not the rest of the intake.

As Squirlz mentioned it is not a good idea to bypass the TB heater because it might cause butterfly icing.

Now the spacers should come for a spacer between the TB and the Intake Manifold, so the TB heater technically shouldn't heat the intake manifold, so you should be able to keep heater on the TB thus giving you a piece of mind in the winter
