Here is the official Thermoblock Spacer Group Buy
Here are a few HP numbers (http://www.sr20-forum.com/showthread.php?t=9874)
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 (Maybe they meant SR16VE N1?)
Prices will probably be a bit lower, depending on how many people we get.
Notes and Terms
The seller will setup a special webpage for us, with the discounts, we just need at least 5 committed people, more people means more savings though :bigthumbup:
You will deal directly with the seller, and he will directly send you the spacers.
I am not making any money putting this group buy together, it's only done to bring lower prices to our Community.
Just post here if you would be interested in buying a set :biggthump
Bucky13 09-30-2008, 10:46 AM I bought a couple of sets earlier this year,and these things are THE TRUTH! I have a 96 B14 manual,and a 97 B14 auto.On the 96 I saw a gain of 12ft lbs,and 8hp!I have no idea on the auto,just judging by the butt dyno,but I'm pretty happy.Good luck on the buy!:biggthump
CovertRussian 09-30-2008, 03:14 PM Wow thats a lot of torque for an NA addition!
Bucky13 09-30-2008, 04:04 PM It blew me away.Same dyno both times,but runs were a year apart.Now,temperature and conditions were approx. the same,and no other mods had been made.Go figure.:confused:

^You got those gains on a lowport? If so, that is interesting. The site has the best results for the highport.

Thats because only half a kit was installed on the low port, and I totally understand why...

Why is that?
CovertRussian 10-01-2008, 12:02 AM Why is that?
They didn't say, but I think because you have to take apart so much on a low port that they probably didn't get a chance to install it all the way.
Lowports have an issues with the V bracket in the back, that holds the intake mani.
alex300zx 10-01-2008, 08:26 AM I tested on my high port with the results of -3 HP and -2 lb. of torque :( . Same conditions but the A/F ratio lean with the spacers like 13.5 and without them 12.9-13.0 A/F ratio.:confused:

^That's a good excuse? :confused:

Weird maybe an intake leak causing unmetered air to get sucked in?

I dunno just saying what they said. I've seen one too many people vouch for these.
Check this out.

Loco had one of these installed in his '01 P11. He had his mechanic install it. His mechanic curse @ him when he went to pick up his car! lol The one spacer, intake manifold IIRC is a real PITA to install on a lowport (I hope I got this right) with the engine in the car. That's why he took it (the full kit) to his mechanic to get it installed. I knew this ahead of time so I told him I didn't want to attempt it ourselves! lol HOWEVER, after just one week with this spacer kit installed, Loco calls me up to ask me what type of gas mileage I'd get with my car. The reason he had to ask because after having this spacer kit installed (and I think GregV's pullies) he couldn't believe the improved gas mileage he was getting! And he drives his car, ehm, let's just say he's a right-foot enthusiast...
Actually, MSN'ing with him now, he's on another record breaking mileage run on a single tank of gas!
MR-4Door-SR20DET 10-02-2008, 09:58 AM No need for a link. I vouch for them. I have two sets ;). I may get in on this group buy for a set for a VE.

jkutzsch 10-07-2008, 12:34 PM When is the deadline? I am definitly interested in a Highport. Was looking at getting on own anyway.

I hate that thing. Don't worry man you've got a highport now. I'd also like to know how long this will be open.
CovertRussian 10-07-2008, 09:19 PM When is the deadline? I am definitly interested in a Highport. Was looking at getting on own anyway.
No deadline yet, we have 10 people so that should qualify us for the bigger discount :biggthump

Ahh yep, I'm happy it will be gone :biggthump
The seller hasn't responded to me yet. So this will last as long as it takes for him to get back to me haha. But should last even longer :biggthump
mustangpunx 10-07-2008, 09:28 PM I'd like to order the kit for a 95 B14 lowport.
