Hey all, this is Kristian from snabb.us I've recently been asked by a customer in Norway to consider making 8v redblock and 16v redblock versions of my composite fiber 1/8" intake manifold heat blocking spacers. For those of you who aren't familiar with this product it's a thin spacer with very low thermal conductivity which very effectively blocks conducted heat. I currently make them for P80's and P2's. I sell my current 93+ versions for around $40 per spacer. (the spacer also works as a gasket so there is no need for additional gaskets and typically the stock bolts work just fine)
So the question:
Is there enough interest in the community to justify putting these into production? I would need to put together a group buy to put these into production with probably 15-20 commited buyers of each version to make it happen. (I'll have to have at least 100 of each made) I would offer a good initial discount and all that, but I don't want to get ahead of myself, I don't even know if I'm allowed to run a GB over here as I'm not a paid advertiser. Right now I just want to know if this is worth looking at more closely.
The gaskets that I'm contemplating producing would be-
Volvo PN: 13778879
for volvo 240, 740 and 940 with redblock 8V engines, B230F/ FT/ FK
and Volvo PN 1378854
for 16V engines. B204FT\GT and B234F\B204F engines, found in 740,760, 940 and 960.
Also If I have any of this information wrong please post up and let me know. I am a whiteblock guy so I apologize in advance if I get anything wrong.
I can make this happen pretty quickly so if you're interested let me know!
