**Interest Check** EXTRUDE HONE

[CougarGuy939]

just looking to see if there is any intrest for this i forget the specs but it opens up the intake far past the svt bore, i got a price of $330 for a group might be able to get it a little lower but not much. This is just an interest check so no group buy for these as of yet because i still have to come up with money for the other group buys i started. so just post if you would be interested

[jrak123]

Where is the company that you talked to located? There is an Extrude hone place down the road from my work and I have been thinking about running in and talking to them about doing this work.

[CougarGuy939]

they have a few branches in the states here is the link but if you could get it cheaper that would be awesome PM me if you get good news

[XplosivePlushToy]

Later in the year? Before fest 2k6? If thats the case (sent and received before then) I'd definitely be in for this. Theres that whole income tax thing coming around and i need a worthy place to spend the money.

[CougarGuy939]

ya thats kinda the time frame i was thinking of

[cvsmightymouse24]

Interested

[jrak123]

I just sent the salesman an e-mail from my GM address. That should raise some attention ;)

[CougarGuy939]

sure whatever helps this along, the help is appreciated

[99Elimin8r]

definately down as soon as silverkat sends me my uim. let the games begin.:evil:

oh yeah i found this on Extrudehone's site (http://www.gethoned.com/group_buys.html):shrug:

[CougarGuy939]

ok all we need is 4 buyers to start this, and im trying to work with them on the price but im not planning on doing this for a little while i have to finish up my other group buy for the MSDS headers but this is definately something i want to do

[CougarGuy939]

I just got another email from Sheila at Extrude Hone, if we can get ten buyers the price falls to $285 per set plus shipping

1-9 Buyers= $330 plus shipping
10+ Buyers=$285 plus shipping

[shadeshifter]

interested.

[CougarGuy939]

ok a total of 6 interested so far im quite confident we can get ten so look for this group buy to happen mid '06 i will send pm's to those who posted here when i make a new post

[bensenvill]

sheila is helpful but you really want to go directly to the horse's mouth, talk to Rick Miller.

[wh00t, I just sent out my UIM today]

[CougarGuy939]

oh ya i talked sheila and i guess she reports to rick but ya im gonna call him when it comes time to do this

[docfeelgood111]

I'm in if its sometime in january or feb.

[Vanart48]

You can contact the Extrude Hone, Powerflow Performance Parts division by loging on to their new web site: www.gethoned.com

All the information on pricing and group buys is there. You can even send an e-mail from this site to the Powerflow division manager (Rick Miller). He has a ton of knowledge on port & polished manifolds and heads.

[CougarGuy939]

oh yes im in contact with rick and i have already informed him of my plans for this group buy but i have to wait until at least march probably to go through with this i myself have to recover financially from my other group buys

[Res]

Interested :thumbsup:

[Rikenbomb]

I'll jump on the band wagon for next year, much like the rest of you guys.

[XplosivePlushToy]

Ah regardless of when this happens put me down. If it comes down to it ill just go to fest with my stock UIM. Can someone tell me how long the last EH gb took? More importantly, will the figures be the same as they were from the last one (correct me if I'm wrong but, 198 CFM was the final number right?).

[CougarGuy939]

acutally i talked to rick miller at extrude hone and he said the max was only 193cfm so that is what we are going to use for specs

[XplosivePlushToy]

Ah, i knew it was somwhere in that general vicinity. Good enough for me.

[ilovemycar]

Late Feb. or sometime in March is good for me.

So stock cougar is 160cfm...and if i send in my STOCK cougar one it will be taken out to 193cfm? What i am asking is will all the intakes get the same amount of "passes"?...or will they get a varying amount of "passes " (whatever it takes to equal 193cfm?)

Like if you were to send in an SVT one it would not take as much to get it to 193cfm. But a cougar one would take at least one more pass than an SVT one.

[CougarGuy939]

i asked that question specifically and i was told that they will all come back at 193cfm

[ilovemycar]

i asked that question specifically and i was told that they will all come back at 193cfm

Ok...so when will this be? Some time in March? If in LATE Febuary or March you can count me in!

[CougarGuy939]

ya probably in march maybe a little later

[bensenvill]

oh just some random tidbits, since its a PO box, you have to use the US Post to mail to them.

the UIM weights about 19 pounds, so including 300 for insurance and delivery confermation, it cost me 20 bucks to mail it from chicago

Where did you have to mail it too?

[bensenvill]

somewhere in PA

[Gebby]

so how many people are signed up to do this right now?

i may be interested but not 100% at this time. it depends on how long it will take before i get my truck back from the shop and how much they are planning on charging me to fix it.

thanks,
gebby

[CougarGuy939]

oh this is just an interest check i wont be running this group buy till later this year

[XplosivePlushToy]

Hmm, this question is directed more at people that have already had this done but, I custom painted my UIM (which was a royal pain in the ass) and was wondering if this process would have any effect on my UIM's paintjob.

[bensenvill]

it shouldnt have any effect [I've never heard any complaints about the SVT ones they have done]. it'd be more likely to be damaged during shipping. you can all ways call Rick and ask.

[XplosivePlushToy]

Thats true. Its a little late for that now unfortunately. Oh well. Thanks.

[StealthyWeasel]

285 hell yeah I'll be on it as well. You'll easily get 10, see if we can get a bigger discount for more.

[CougarGuy939]

i think i will send rick another email asking what kinda discount we can get with more buyers cause i think we will have plenty of interest in this

[BasSpyder]

count me in for this too. im sure i could pick up another uim between now and then for cheep ::CAUGHAARONCAUGH:: ;)

[bensenvill]

i think i will send rick another email asking what kinda discount we can get with more buyers cause i think we will have plenty of interest in this

ok, interest and PAYING people are 2 very very different things.
I'd highly doubt you get 10 people with money in hand, and a spare UIM [or winter beater]. but if you do, more power to you.

[XplosivePlushToy]

Well I'm definitely in. I will have the money in hand and have a second UIM sitting on the other bed in my room. Gimme gimme gimme!

[cvsmightymouse24]

Well I'm definitely in. I will have the money in hand and have a second UIM sitting on the other bed in my room. Gimme gimme gimme!

That makes 2 of us!

[CougarGuy939]

i also have the same situation i have a second uim and a little extra money

[bensenvill]

cool,

hey cougarguy, since your the one organizing this, do you wanna ask for me if he will do special pricing on LIM also [since I already have my UIM done]

[CougarGuy939]

sure i can ask but what do you want the lim honed out?

[Rikenbomb]

bensenvill, as long as you have the SVT LIM you should be fine. The UIM is one of the big restrictors there. I would suggest getting an optimized SVT TB from Brad Noon.

[nandalora]

I am in as long as the price stays below $300. I've wanted to do this for a while. BUT, if the local Extrude Hone will do this for me for less, I'll do it there and see if the'd be interested in a group buy. (this is the same Extrude Hone that Jason emailed)

-Nick A.

[DagerOne]

So, if I'm reading this right...it would be silly to send off an SVT UIM since it would come back with the same flow as a stock UIM, right? And as SVT UIM's generally are sold in the $300, it would also potentially be silly to buy such a thing if you can get a stock UIM EH'd to a better flow for the same about of money or less anyway, right?

(ignoring any potential esthetic benefits one might perceive with the SVT over the stock UIM, granted)

[CougarGuy939]

well the stock manifold flows like 155cfm and the svt one flows like 160cfm, after the process of extrude honing it out to the max it will flow 193cfm. I'm sure that the last figure is correct the other two for stock and svt may be wrong but im sure they are close. so no matter which you have stock or svt it will come back 193cfm

[BasSpyder]

its a better deal to send off a stock one than a svt one. thats the way im lookin at it, any word onthis yet?

[CougarGuy939]

well it doesnt really matter which one you send they are both going to come back the same

[DagerOne]

It's not about what they come back as that makes them a "deal" or not, CG939...it's the point of spending $300+ for an SVT UIM and $285 to get it to the 193cfm, or next to nothing for a stock UIM and $285 to get 193cfm.

[CougarGuy939]

oh ok i misunderstood, yes unless you really love that black powdercoated look then yes i suppose that would be a waste of money

[Murdock]

One quick question about the honing. Will the honing be worth it on a stock engine...meaning no SVT upgrades? If so, I will also be in on the buy (as long as I find a second UIM).

[CougarGuy939]

well it will definately increase airflow, and other svt parts would help but you should see a decent gain from doing just the intake, (im not the most mechanical person so others please chime in)

[ilovemycar]

I just got another email from Sheila at Extrude Hone, if we can get ten buyers the price falls to $285 per set plus shipping

1-9 Buyers= $330 plus shipping
10+ Buyers=$285 plus shipping

So for just one intake to get "Maxed out" it would cost 330+ shipping?

[CougarGuy939]

yes it will be $330 plus shipping at this time

[BasSpyder]

aaand whats the deal with this? we still on for march or what?

[CougarGuy939]

well something like april is what i had originally planned but i have to get some funds up for the header group buy im running before i set any dates for this one

[bensenvill]

well I just got my max-honed back today in the mail.

very very impressed. it looks absolutely spectacular.

anyways, just for ****s and giggles I threw it on the scale to get the weight. 14.65 pounds. Which threw me off guard because the shipping weight to them was 19.1 pounds [granted that included the box but thats still a big difference].

[XplosivePlushToy]

Hooray for weight reduction! Even more reason I want to get in on this GB. Hopefully my return will be enough that after this, I'll still be able to get my new combat shotgun.

[Tisby]

I'm interested as long as this would be happening in March/April. Headers & some Roll Resitors ate up my current mod budget for the Mystique.

[XplosivePlushToy]

Well I just received my $900 tax return so I am definitely down for this GB. Just let me know when it goes and I'll have my car torn apart and it in the mail.

[fastkat262]

count me in

[MobilBoy]

I'm in on this! I have a spare UIM sitting in my shed right now and will have the money by March or April.

[BigBalledOX]

Ok, who is ready to move on this NOW? If I have three other people interested in it I'll contact Extrude Hone and get this set up. I don't have time to wait until April, my car gets tuned at the end of March.

[BasSpyder]

still waitin on tax return..and bonus check from work.

[dyed4ordblue]

Depending how much it costs to get my car painted and such I will be doing this at whatever time the cheapest one will be, probably with CougarGuy939. I still gotta buy furniture, get a couple small dents fixed and get the car painted, but I got $2500 on my return, so I should be good. So I am in, with money in hand!!!

[99Elimin8r]

i'm in let me know when i need to send the money

[CougarGuy939]

ok guys right now im shooting for the end of march let me know if that works for everybody

[nandalora]

I don't care when we do it, as long as I'm in a group of at least 10. I'm not paying over $300 for this. Let me know when there are 9 others ready cause I'm ready now :cool:

Maybe we should start a list :biggrin:

[Foreverfalcon40]

Ok does it matter if it is sotck or an svt..I have both? I am in on this one as well

[nandalora]

For the hundreth time, NO! It doesn't matter which one you send them, it will come back flowing the same. I have both also, but I'm sending them my SVT one because I like the smooth finish and black color.

[Foreverfalcon40]

why just paint it urself and sell the svt for $$

[bensenvill]

why just paint it urself and sell the svt for $$

its more complicated than that, you have alot of casting that needs grinding off and a fair amount of deburring. otherwise it will look like ass.

[bensenvill]

and I've said this before, if one of the organizers can get me a quote for EH a LIM, I would potentially join in on this.

If that was the case, I'd do both! My 3.0L needs as much air as possible. I'm sure BBOX would do it too!

[CougarGuy939]

i will send an email to see if they offer this as well

[bensenvill]

i will send an email to see if they offer this as well

no I know they offer it. but if they are offering a price break comperable to the UIM, then I may join in.

[CougarGuy939]

straight from the man:

"hello the lower intake has butterflies in it. We can not process it sorry.
Thanks,

Rick Miller"

[nandalora]

I can understand that. They would have to ensure the final size of the ports and we'd have to get larger butterflies to match. O well

[Loco]

Waste of $ on the 2.5L engine unless you have FI.

[CougarGuy939]

Waste of $ on the 2.5L engine unless you have FI.


then explain why you feel a difference when you put just an svt uim on a stock 2.5 and that is only 5cfm gain this is a whole lot more, obviously supporting mods will help but regardless its worth the money

[Loco]

I did not say there is absolutely no difference, but the cost outweighs the gain IMO. That $ would be better spent tossing some nitrous on.

[nandalora]

I dissagree, especially with a hungry 3.0L with SVT cams. The lower is probably pointless, but the upper should prove significant. I plan to prove this when I dyno at or before fest.

[CougarGuy939]

i intend to use this on my 2.5L w/svt cams and pnp'd heads, and when im done i will tell you how much of a diff there was

LMAO...the butterflies would obviously be removed! :rofl: SO i don't see the problem...

[XplosivePlushToy]

Once I know the date you can mark me down for this. I'm in the process of purchasing a new shotgun but I should be able to recover from that rather quickly.

[nandalora]

What happened to BBOX and the 3 others he had? Did they already order? Also there were a few people saying they are in and I don't see there name on the list....WTF!!!???

[BigBalledOX]

Put me down for this RIGHT NOW. I dunno what kind of turnaround time we're looking at here, but I'm in, we have to move NOW though.
