Thanks to the efforts of GSXR and myself, we have found a way to make an EGR blocking plate for the intake manifold and a sheet metal cover for the exhaust tube at a decent price. The details are in this thread:

Egr blocking plate or kit

At the present time, 13 members are interested in the kit, at a cost of $30.00 delivered. We need 16 more in order to make the quantity of 30 required to get them done at this price.

So, anybody else, who has not already responded, please send me an e-mail at hpcs@csi.com if you are interested in one of these kits.

Thanks

Bump!

If I remember correctly, if more than the needed 30 people buy one, the price may go down to $25...so, the more the merrier!

We are up to 21 sets. Need to get 8 more to make it cost effective. Who else would like one of these kits?

No offense but isn't $30 a little high for two pieces of sheet metal? One of my dads friends cut me a nice one out of aluminum, for the egr to manifold side, it was scrap metal and took him less than 10min. I'm not trying to be a jerk.

It's not generic sheet metal, it's stainless. Heck, for stainless, machine-cut properly with properly-done gaskets and bolts, $30 seems cheap to me!

I should have read the other post more carefully, I guess they are stainless and come with gaskets. Yeah then thats not a bad price.

Just so there is no misunderstanding:

My cost for the intake plate and the exhaust plate will be somewhere around $15.00 if we make a quantity of 30. Then there is the new stainless screws and the gasket for the intake plate. Then there is the packing and the shipping. So, the total cost should be somewhere around $25.00. The remaining $5.00 is a safety factor in case some folks decide that they do not want the kit, after the fact.

After we program the laser cutting machine, there is virtually no cost to make five more, so, if we can get 32 people to come thru and actually buy the kit, then the cost will be $25.00 for each kit.

The only profit that I'm looking to make on this kit is one kit for my 617. That's it.

Do you have me down for one? I'll make it two kits if that helps.
