As mentioned, Brad would not update the thread until the product is completed. i for one and happy they gave us a peak. Have some patience people..

Oh, and start saving up.$$ After all the complaining, I hope you all buy this as soon as it becomes available.. I am!!

jcjmw

I must admit that I am losing interests. If this is for real, then updates are needed, please.

Havoc

Sorry bro, but this is Evosport's product and not mine to post updates. Like I said before, they are probably doing real world testing on a stock 55K and will post when completed.

What happened to this thread? Are they still testing?

badm

I totally agreed what has happened to this thread. The last thing was they were in the process of installing them on a car and testing . That was months ago ??? ,,, We all need a updates , pics , dyno #'s on a car Badm

Problem is it's Evosport, great ideas but they take FOREVER to deliver

splinter

Be that as it may, sophisticated CFD renderings are fun to look at.

So is looking at escort websites, but if in the end you can't pay to f.uck them, its a waste of time....

gaspam

i was never a fan of the ford escort even if it was ok rally car

Havoc

Brad will probably kill me but at least I'm not posting the pics..

Testing is still ongoing on what looks like a stock 55K. These bad boys are definitely delivering on the cooling side temp wise and are about to get dyno tested for top end performance and flow.

Roverron

Nice thanks for at least letting us know there is still hope.

Bramage

Still saving my $$

tbal

Has price been set for these?

AMGPilot

I'm guess it's going to be somewhere between. Holy crap you're joking right? To you are out if your freaking mind

tbal

Lol

I'm guessing ShangoAste probably paid $5K-$7K for his custom kit. I was quoted $1500 to build just a hollow plenum under the SC (Intercooler delete). This was quoted by 4 different fabricators. Some were actually much more, and I had the entire design & measurements completed. Just needed material, cut and weld.

I'm not sure what you guys are expecting. It will not be under $5K.. A friggen CF airbox is $2K.

What I want to see is the way they accommodate an air-cleaner. (Hadis intake, without Top mounts is $1200..again, expectations )

The other consideration worth reviewing:

It looks like this is being tested on a stock motor. That should give some baseline, however, this mod is not for stock engines.

We run into cooling issues with big pulleys.

I would want to make sure the cooling advantages are there for highly modified engines, and that there is not a CFM flow restriction at the high end of mods:

100mm + TB
200mm + Pulley
Heads
Big Headers

All of these mods are availible, or in the works. That is where this product will SHINE if it can handle the CFM efficiently

jcjmw

Already spent my mod money, got tired of waiting and no updates

GT-ER

$1500 to cut out the oem intercooler and build an empty box to replace it? I was quoted $300 for this.

Bramage

This quote was to build the entire unit. I ended up buying a spare inrecooler and just cutting out the core and welding in something else. That was $400 for labor and material.

In the case if the top mounts we are talking a whole new plenum. Soon enough we will have a price and availability.

Brad, if you need a local test subject with 190 pulley, long tubes, fuel rail, 82mm TB, and complete data logging (dual AFR) I might know a guy

GT-ER

Oh...makes sense then.

To be honest, a vendor should never just toss out bits of information on a product in development. This would avoid the magnitude of crap above. Just one day post it up, here it is guys! With dynos, testing, blah blah blah, and finally an introductory price for say the first 5 to sign up. Nice and simple. Negative reputation and rumors no longer enter the picture.

Bramage

I look at it differently. I think it is great they gave is a heads up. The only advice I would give when it comes to new products is to set some initial expectations. Even if not in regards to pricing. The outline given was great. All it needed was a sentence saying: expect final product in 6 to 9 months. R&D takes time

pearlpower

Look at the thread and all of the BS posts in it. One cannot give adequate expectations on a new item still in development. That has been proven since the first stones axes were sold millions of years ago. It's 101. Now you have folks putting down Evosport for not providing hourly updates. When it is ready, that is when it should have been announced or at a minimum during testing.
