Sharp Customs N54 Sheetmetal Intake group buy thread.

So these manifolds need extended tip injectors? I honestly haven't got a final word on which injector we need for these.

TBH i doubt it will matter on the ET style or not!

Ive got an LS7 set that work great and also had the ET style from an M54 that was modified.

@Sharp Any updates on the shipping status?

 

[Snelson3003]

He is working on it! I have emailed him but there is a delay on the supplier side for parts. However he does expect to ship these very soon!

Once we have the manifold we'll fit the injectors to it and put the assembly on a spare cylinder head. Those "Euro" injectors we're considering are a twin-beam type with a 20º spray angle. We'll see how well they aim towards the valves.

Awesome. Super Excited!! So the kits we're getting will have the better gaskets?

Ok guys, I got a couple on the way to me now. I will ship those to the guys that paid first. Then they are sending the rest a couple days after. I will post up when I send those out and update the first post.

So i ran into some snags trying to install this today. The ls7 style injectors i used have different sized upper and lower o-rings. The upper size work, the lower don't so i had to order an extra set of upper o-rings. Second, the holes on the bottom where you can attach bards for vacuum are NOT 1/8npt. They supply hose barbs that thread in fine but 1/8npt fittings go in about a thread or 2 before locking up. Im going to get a 1/8npt tap tomorrow to see if i can make it work. And third it doesn't come with the 5 screws needed to mount the cable brackets on the bottom of the manifold. I will report back with what size they are tomorrow.

lol I forgot I was on the list!

 

[Sshec152]

I have everything all mounted up and ready to install. The 1/8npt tap ended up working perfectly. Im not sure if it was a different thread or just tapped incorrectly, but hopefully @Sharp fixes that on future manifolds. The 5 screws that attach the brackets to the bottom are M5-.80X16. I will be installing it tomorrow and will make sure to get pics.
