Thermoblock Spacer GroupBuy

Thermoblock Spacer 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 (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

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!

^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...

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.

Outlaw spacers

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.

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

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!

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.

No deadline yet, we have 10 people so that should qualify us for the bigger discount

Ahh yep, I'm happy it will be gone

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
