Xtra Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 Wow, looks better than I ever imagined and should help with the intercooler temperatures. Great job! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikula Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Chris already cut his plastic front end to make more room, I believe it did 0 for him. I can imagine it won't do much, especially for the price, but I went for it anyway. even with a larger intercooler I can't see a whole lot of gains coming from a few extra holes, but the looks of it is more of what some of us were concerned with. Now that it is symmetrical, it is much more appealing to the eye. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xtra Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 (edited) Just got the word that they are shipping out on Monday . Now thats a fast turnaround for custom work at a great price. . I counted the all holes in the grill.. ( Not much to do today ). The new modified grill has 30.8% more air flow than the stock grill. That should help the IC considerably .

Mikula Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 The primary purpose was to enhance modified IC cooling capability & aesthetics was secondary...try again...lol the primary purpose failed the real world test performed by chris. SOME of us wanted the aesthetics as the primary focus, knowing the cooling capability was not enhanced by his tests. R U really going to whine after getting yours at cost, puts things into perspective now...seriously...lol Yes. Yes I am. I like to spend that kind of money on things that have been proven to help performance. I went in on this for aesthetics only. What's the big deal? you got your money, he got his money, I got the part I wanted, I just paid more than I would have liked for it all said and done. Lesson learned for me. also note: I'm a cheap bastard 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesson learned for me. also note: I'm a cheap bastard Well In our logs and tests, the grill didnt help max temps however it prolonged the max heat max. So your kind of correct, but not totally. Almost the same concept of a heat blanket. Also, not everyone is perfect. Chris may not of had a large enough test group or sample size. More than one person can provide input and fact.

Mikula Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 Speaking of performance, you are all running a thermostat right? I was going to pick one up. will probably help me some, being in texas and all. Would you suggest a 160 or a 170? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT500R Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 Special K please provide your test data. I saw nothing in terms of benefits. Also I hope you did this same day testing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
037 Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 Mikula, LMS recommends 160 and that is what I went with - purchased through LMS direct too. I hear same piece can be had for like $12 direct from other stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 I will say that the TStat is not absolutely necessary, have seen a few EBs with all the gizmos and stock TStat running very well. To me, the programming that goes with the TStat is of greater value: fans come on earlier and run longer, that type of thing. Still, swapping in a TStat is SO easy, makes sense to do it. Another thing to look at is to see what the temp on the trans bypass valve TStat is at, and if there is a lower temp TStat that will fit/help. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xtra Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 (edited) Friday the 13 is my lucky day , my IC grill just got here and it looks great. The cuts are laser sharp, super precise and it looks like it came from the factory that way. Thanks to Special_K & snmjim for making this possible.

BADK_Racing Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 Hello all, New to the forum and to the Edge Sport, but have been modding and racing my whole life. When it’s in the blood.... well you know. I am digging this back up to gauge interest from some of the newer members or older ones that would like to take advantage of this deal. I contacted Spencer and the price went up $10 dollars and is now 125 for 3 or more orders. I have borrowed smnjim original post information below for reference for anybody that is interested. I purchased a grille from eBay for $60 so I am set and waiting for a few to join in. I know there has to be at least a couple of you that want to get this mod done. POC: Spencer Adams Email: sadams.cds@gmail.com. http://www.cdsplastics.com Spencer Adams is the machinists who mills the grill and once again has offered to produce these for us at a big savings. However, he can only lower the cost if we provide him with an order of at least 2-5. He's doing this as a fellow car enthusiasts. Pricing is as follows: 1-2 = $210 ea 3-5 = $125 ea Please respond on this string with your interest and contact Spencer via email to facilitate the transaction. Note: the finished product will be totally symmetrical but with the addition of the top two & bottom two half honey combs cut out as well. NOTES: Price includes packaging units back in their original box and material the grill was shipped in and any other handling required through the shipping process. The only added price would be return shipping to the respective locations of each grill owner. PayPal is preferred method of payment but not the only and payment is required (which will include return shipping) before return shipping. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snmjim Posted February 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 You've got to be kidding!!!... There was whining & nashing of teeth from several who missed the first opportunity for this custom work and now someone is willing to take the lead and coordinate another order and not a single taker???... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 hopefully will get attention within the week. most do not visit the forum very often :( 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
