Weapon*R Engine Damper Test Fit.

[wrleo]

We would like to test fit our Specifically designed Engine Damper kit for the Mazdaspeed. We are looking for someone in the NOR CAL area to come by and let us final test fit the engine damper kit. We want the pictures of the installation.

Anyone intrested will get the engine damper kit at a MAJOR discount.

Please PM me or email me at: leo.now@weapon-r.com

[wrleo]

mmmmmm sexy!!!! can you make me an upper IC hardpipe???

We already have some aluminum ones being bent right now.

We can also make titanium ones also but VERRRY Expensive..

We do plan on making alot of parts for the MAzdaspeed.

[Ryoga28]

Leo, I thought the engine damper kit was already prototyped sometime ago...


Chester

[MSP#735]

i am DEFINATELY interested in the upper/hot IC hardpipe..let me know~!

[msp35]

Wow!, price range?

[wrleo]

we have made the engine damper.
if you read the post we are looking for a car to double check the fittment and make sure everything is ALL GOOD.

I want to get somone to come by and try it out.

We will be getting our mazdaspeed engine dampers in a few weeks here.

pm'ed ya

[wrleo]

thanks guys.. you guys have been alot of help.

I will post when i get the upper IC pipes in stock.
They will be made of Aluminum and all TIG welded BY ME.
(crazy)

If anyone has ideas on parts that are not made yet.
Let me know i maybe intrested in fabricating them up, if there is a market for them.

PM me...

think you can gather up some people who would want to buy some?
I would think to make one out of stainless instead because a titanium one would be about $850.

Titanium is NOT cheap...
But if we can get about 50 people together i think i can buy more titanium in bulk and make them all at once and bring the cost down to about $775.

Lemme know.

how much would the stainless be?

[Ryoga28]

Here's a stainless steel tubular manifold made by the vendor of the year.

that is a little to much $$$$$$$$$$$ for me

[pb4ugoout]

shit, if you can make a titanium mani that is equal in quality to the MAM for $850 i might be in. The MAM is coated stainless and it's over $1000! and i'm interested in aluminum hardpipes. can you mandrel bend anything? and would you powdercoat if you have to weld. just don't want a bunch of welds in my engine bay. not that they are great looking welds, they just don't match everything else! i have a few custom requests with the hardpipes tho, just let me know what you come up with...subbed

[Ryoga28]

Aluminum hardpipes would have to be less than $400 shipped (w/ hump hoses) in order to be competitive with turbohoses....

[Caughtbycops]

im definetly in for the tubular mani.

[jeffmsp]

make an intake manifold for the MSP. Not a single vendor has made one and people would buy them.

yes if you make one I will buy it right now :)

[BOOSTR]

"If anyone has ideas on parts that are not made yet.

We can always use additional parts for MSP performance. Those are some nice parts you posted. An exhaust manifold, intake manifold, along with those dampers would be a sure hit. Can't wait to see what you end up fabricating.

[KonspiracyImage]

intake manifold and tubular manifold.
im down!!!!!!!!!

[2003protospeed]

man my orders to go back home to Fairfield are not until apr 06 but i will have to swing by and check you guys out

[L8R]

is this thread for a manifold or an engine damper?...

will this only fit the ms proteges? or any of the 2.0 motors?

[31R]

I emailed him and pm'ed him on this forum and MOCC. Im pretty much free all week, and im not to far from them. If he lets me do the test and will take pictures and show everyone. Maybe i can get a good deal too!

[KonspiracyImage]

sounds good, keep us updated.

[NJMSP42385]

I'm interested in both the intake and the exhuast, along with the pipes. I love way welds turn out with titanium

Subscribing for updates.

[PHILLY-ORANGE]

INTAKE MANIFOLD!!! I want one now !!!!

[SOSPEED]

Yes Yes INTAKE MANIFOLD!!!!!! (thumb)

[Ryoga28]

an intake manifold is a great idea. If weapon r does make one, it'll be the only company that has it out. Although I'm not sure, I think an aftermarket intake manifold for the msp may be compatible with the protege and the protege 5 (can someone chime in).

[tekkie]

yes the intake manifold is the same on all of them

[31R]

I got an email back from WR, the damper kit wont be in for another 3 weeks. I should still be free around that time, if he gives me a call i'll do the test fit. Now we wait.

[wrleo]

If anyone has a Stock intake manifold i can get started on one.
I will need to get a stock one to get the flanged for the Cylinder head and the TB CNC'ed out so we can start getting BUZY on this project.

Im just letting everyone know that Sheet Metal Intake Manifolds go for about $750, but if i can get about 20 people to GB on this i can def make them for $700.

My EVO8 Intake manifold made 65% more flow than the OEM and will be dyno'ed next week. It should make well over 45HP at the wheels.

Simular manifolds with a smaller plenum made 45hp for the EVO8.


For a Race Exhaust Manifold it would be about the same in Stainless.
Double that price for titanium.

[MSP#735]

hardpipe(s)!!! well atleast the upper, that too is a big item (for me that is hehehe)

[TiGrayMsp716]

subscrizzle.....

[apocman]

I will be watching this thread!!! I want good cheap parts and I'm getting the feeling we may have some here!!!!

[anarchistchiken]

Hasn't it been discussed that we get a significant amount of our power from the intake monifold design? You guys have fun spending $700 for -5 hp, I'll stick with stock, lol.

[wrleo]

i really dont think protege 5's will get much power from these intake manifolds.
Like i said TURBO models will gain more from this mod than NA vehicles.

[tekkie]

700 bucks for an intake mani and I am in

Same with me I'm in for the sheet metal intake.

Thats a good deal. If it sells for $700 then i better start saving. Does someone please have a manifold to send to this guy....

make all of them!! I def would buy the dampner now!!

btw i need 5% for suggesting the intake mani ;) Seriously though make them, Hondas have like 6 vendors making them, we have none and any boosted protege would benefit.

maybe we can get a dyno result on the hp gain with the new manifold before we start buying?

[jeffmsp]

thats typically the way these things work

Just so you know, it is common around here for there to be a huge INITIAL interest, and then once a part gets made, hardly anybody steps up to buy them. I have seen it happen several times (not every time of course), most recently with the Mental Addiction tubular manifold. Everyone said they wanted it, it got made, and then only 5 people bought one during the initial intro period where it was sold for 750 shipped. Not trying to scare you or anything, just telling you that it would be best to not go make 50 of something just becuase 50 people said they wanted it.:)



Mental Addiction has the flanges for a prototype intake manifold, and they are going to be making one real soon also. Just letting you know that there won't be a monopoly on that part.;)

Looking forward to seeing your damper... I have some plans drawn up for one, but haven't had the time lately to make it up to the shop and get it fabbed up. Good luck with your sales, and get AV status.;)


When your speaking of a 700+ dollar peice you can't expect 50 (hypotheticly) people to show interest and gaurantee to drop the coin. Thats on average half of everyone's rent or mortgage were I live. If leo's products are that good, then the 50 will sell reguardless. It just may take a little while longer.

The mam and corksport downpipes are a success, all unfortunate events aside. On the Mam thread their are still people wanting to purchase the dp's that weren't on the original buy in. Obviosly this piece was competitivly and affordably priced and Beau is known for top notch work. Therefore it drew more people.

I know your trying to look out for other potenal vendors, But you don't want to steer them away either. If Leo has leftovers from a group buy of some kind for a manifold or exhaust and the work and price is exeptional I'd buy it based on the fact that I wouldn't have to wait a month or two for it.

That maybe true but he also said he would only make them if he got the peolpe upfront. As for the whole manifold thing well that part is only really good for the MSP peolpe the intake manifold could be used on any of the 2.0 engines.

[xelderx]

Hey!!! Don't shy away from us N/A guys. I need some light exhaust stuff done as well.

[JBreed]

that is a little to much $$$$$$$$$$$ for me


I concur!

[ChopstickHero]

that exahust pipe looks comfy on that couch.

[Maz2001MP]

I concur!

Same here. Im sure they probably have some of the best quality stuff out there, but I don't think I would be able to pay $1000 for a manifold alone, but I guess that price works out when you factor in man power, quality, raw material, HP gains, and some money for the house..

I wish some bigger companies would make some more parts for our cars though. This would probably mean a cheaper price, good quality, and ready to ship shelved items.. hint hint weapon R (thought)

[Maz2001MP]

Some stuff I can think of....

NA Race header - OBX is the only one that is out now, and with the header alone they give about 8 whp gains. Im sure if a better quality or a little bit of a better design is made, you might be able to push a little more hp out of the FSDE...

NA or Turbo camshafts - I only think Wagner has NA cams out, I dont know about thier gains or specs. I dont even think they give specs out. I rather know the specs of my cams before I put them in..

Turbo manifold - this can be used for the MSP and regular pros. Good for people who want to either upgrade the MSP or build a custom turbo kit..

Engine Dampner - Needed badly. Wheel hop sucks..

Weapon R secret intake - dont you guys make this already?? are there any dyno gains out??

Intake Manifold - Why not?? Im sure with a good tune NA cars can get moderate gains from this mod!! Im sure turbo cars would get good gains..

I suggest trying to post in other sections also like the NA section or general performance to get more opinions...

It's been pretty quiet in hereyea I agree! whats up with the intake manifold (poke)

[Pirana]

(deadhorse

[RyanJayG]

so, Vic, when you going to turbo that thing anyways?

[Pirana]

The NSX....no plans...its a cruiser, you know for the ladies...hehehe.

[TiGrayMsp716]

Hey vic you don't have to stay in boost all the time.... I think that the ladies would find boost enticing

[anarchistchiken]

I must be an idiot, cause I always thought your NSX was turboed because of the "NSX-T" in your profile.

[Pirana]

hehehe, you werent the only one.....the "T" is for targa.

[mofoaka]

so what happened to the engine dampener kit?? i'm interested

[RyanJayG]

they made it, you can buy it.
