Now that side projects have slowed down and my car is nearing completion I'm starting to think about making some production runs of parts. If I do this (very likely) I will become a site vendor.
I know there are quite a few people out there that want to put together stage 2 engines, but there are some key parts that are hard to find. Headers and EFI intakes I know about. What parts do most of you guys need to put stage 2 heads on your cars?
For guys that don't currently have stage 2 parts, would it make the heads more desireable if the headers and efi intakes were something you could purchase?
To start I'm thinking about making headers, efi intakes and valve covers.
#1 headers. I want to make these as economical as possible, so no fancy race headers. I want to build something very similar to the TA headers for production heads, but for stage 2 heads. That means the drivers side header would be 3 into 1 with a collector, the crossover would pass under the oil pan and then into a log style header for the drivers side, stock turbo location in either a 3 bolt or t4 flange. I could do mild steel and have them coated or 304 stainless. My goal would be to build everything so that you can use an off the shelf downpipe.
Most have probably seen my header builds, but if not here are a more complicated set I made before. http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/threads/stage-2-single-turbo-header-fabrication.361939/
#2 EFI intakes. I can convert a carb intake and build an elbow that uses the factory throttlebody with a mount for the stock coil pack. This one has already been done. I could do this on a core basis or you can hunt down your own and I'll convert it.
#3 I would also like to offer valve covers because they aren't so easy to find anymore. I have a small stockpile of parts ready to make these
