I would be keen for these! Keep us posted!

ok guys great, ill get the ball rolling for 1 set and will try them out first, then will get the others ordered, the rder takes 7-14 days to draw up the CAD drawing and CNC the parts

i dont want to sell a duff product,

im certain it will be fine as its a pretty basic part.

the only thing im cautious of is matching the ports correctly, the the spacers will match to the gaskets and then to the block (which will be able to be seen before the inlet, but i want to make sure it lines up exactly when the inlet is fitted also.

i am yet to get to the bolt man to get longer bolts for the inlet and the throttle body

ill be as quick as i can, but want to be thorough

cool, keep us posted and a wee pic of them once your trial set are machined would be good...

yes pics to follow, quality and fitment first before they become available

Rick_RS4 - I am interested but I have a RS6 C6, surely it can't be that different to a RS4?

[Dannorton]

I will definitely have a set off these!

I'm not sure. If these fit ok without problems ill make a set for the 6 if they are different.

Stick me down for a set as well

RS6 C6, surely it can't be that different to a RS4?

Aside from the fact that each spacer on a C6 will have 5 inlet holes in it rather than 4 for a V8, I really don't think an intercooled turbo car will see a measurable benefit. I'm not sold on the idea of them making an appreciable difference on an NA car either (something like a cold air feed will drop real intake temps by a lot more) but at least at 100 quid it's a cheap enough mod to do if you're doing a carbon clean anyway.

I've just paid for the setup and CAD drawings the company say they should be ready by the end of the week.

I'm away in Wales at the minute and will collect on Friday if we're back in time. Then I'll lift the inlet off in the week and see how they fit .

Good stuff Rick,

just a query, What grade of Tufnol are you going for?, I'm not sure what temperature the cylinder heads will see with heat transfer through the engine but it looks like there are various types off Tufnol with differing heat characteristics..

Here is just the thermoplastics range linked below, You might already have it in hand but is it worth a shout to the supplier and get the best product for the application (heat range / correct composition, etc)

I don't have much expertise in regards to the spacers, nor do i know much about RS6 engines much, so will humbly bow out from my earlier submission, i will go with someone who does understand and from what you've said, you seemingly do.

I've gone for tufnol whale grade 8mm thick

They will be sandwiched between 2 gaskets with rubber seals so won't make complete contact.

How are you getting on with these Rick?
