I just may pick one of these up too and hold it for next year..

MrSanchez925 · 06-26-2012, 02:56 PM

Just as I thought about building and doing a ka24e-T...

My plans have changed. lol.

cxracing · 06-26-2012, 03:16 PM

Just to show how CXRacing is serious about the LS swap Market and how heavily we have invested in doing R&D, this is the new Aluminum Intake Manifold we are developing.

We used 3D printer (that we own) printed out a section of the manifold, to check flow curve, porting, fitment and etc, that’s all I can show you now, the final product will probably one of the best in the market.

Shadowhunter · 06-26-2012, 03:27 PM

Nice job Cxracing. I have always liked your products. So the whole swap kit(headers,intake manifold etc.) will be available for under 3200? If so that's amazing and you can count me in!

Vitzio240sx · 06-26-2012, 03:36 PM

Awesome, sounds like I will be doing a ls swap sooner than i expected. Count me in...

D.Adams · 06-26-2012, 09:19 PM

Wow nice to see you guys making this. Amazing work bet that 3d printer helps out a lot on making things.

Yeah that's what they use to make their arms

af8lta · 06-26-2012, 09:24 PM

This is awesome, glad to see an affordable, well made product. I'm actually buying a shell this week to ready as a track car and I believe this will be the kit I'm going to use. Keep up the good work guys!

GripTerror · 06-26-2012, 09:55 PM

my concern with those offset holes is how safely can we not assume that they will not move under racing stress/duress? Will it handle absolute t track abuse not move around, not break, etc...

its not even done. im pretty sure this product they are developing will be going under rigorous testing on the track once they finished it. just sit back and wait

Our Engineering calculation shows that the aluminum plate can hold 13300 PSI strength. Basically it would take over 13000 pounds of pressure to brake the mount at its weakest point.

besides that, we will do a heat treatment on the aluminum plate which even increases the strength and make it stronger.

We will have this project car running on track to test it as well.

PS. the weakest point of the plate is NOT the offset holes. it is the center bushing mount aluminum tube. we will increase the radius on these machining which would enhance the strength. also with the bushing, it absolves vibrations. so this would NOT break.

3d printer + cx racing= probably the only thing you guys have engeenier !! But that's just me being a but ignorant !! Jaja!! If the price is good I'm so intersted.

iveexcaped3 · 06-27-2012, 10:04 AM

i get that if you flip the plate up and down you can adjust engine hight but doesnt that mean you cant adjust the vertical depth.... is it one or the other or are you making it to be fully adjustable?

LOL.... wait to see what we can do...

Sleepiedaze · 06-27-2012, 12:24 PM

if this is anything like your turbo kits i expect things to fail after 1 month of actual use.

so let's abuse, beat the crap out this thick steel mounts and fail it...

PS. We have sold 1000s+ turbo kits, i guess they all failed.

S@nt0s · 06-27-2012, 01:08 PM

I take it its EFI West doing all the R&D for you?

waxball88 · 06-27-2012, 01:38 PM

Hope the welds on this are better than the ones on the ram horn manifolds. No response to my PM's either. No love?

rb25hatch · 06-27-2012, 04:53 PM

You guys should make SS braided power steering lines, clutch line, and a clutch master cylinder to add to the kit.

snafupossum · 06-27-2012, 11:19 PM

been thinking, how are the headers going to work with all the different mount point settings? its pretty tight on the drivers side.

davirene · 06-27-2012, 11:28 PM

Ok we are doing the same swap......suspension and brakes are just about done in order to handle the power... will be sourcing the engine and kit. We are doing a full jdm
180sx but with ls power of course if your interested in a little sponser ship lmk.

the way the motor is mounted, should be the most common position. it does not really have that much of room you can move it, probably only about 1/2 inch up or down and another 1/2 inch front and back.

we are building the header, will show it when it is done.

BlacknboostedS13 · 06-27-2012, 11:37 PM

Any amount of research would inform you that you should never buy any moving parts from anything other than a reputable source. CXRacing is not a reputable source. Whereas their intercooler kits and exhaust won't do you wrong (if the welds hold together -_-)

Off the topic, if you or any haters want to trash talk, let's open a new thread and we are more than happy to discuss it.

Vertical is the height which you already answered yourself.

PowerDrifter · 06-28-2012, 05:16 PM

we all ready have fuel racing kit. sits nice with only modifying the transmission tunnel a bit. just the price hold me back for now. Hopefully you can make an equal quality kit without the high price

iveexcaped3 · 06-28-2012, 06:22 PM

nvm i answered my own question, i thought you were making the hight fully adjustable too, i over saw the offset bushing which makes the hight adjustment..... you said you guys are thinking of doing a driveshaft, if its and adjustable horizontal mount how you gonna what size drive shaft the customer needs. after they have it in measure it and call you guys or what.
