FR500 spacer for Bmeagher - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

Roy · 06-27-2013, 10:27 PM

I got this finished up this afternoon. Its a 2" thick FR500 intake spacer. It was made in one of my 5 axis wire electrical discharge machines (wire EDM). Its made from a slab of 6061 T6 aluminum.

Wow

CO Mack · 06-27-2013, 10:43 PM

That looks like a very sweet, and pricey, part!

Be interesting to see what it does.

Awesome work. Those EDM machines are amazing.

djmanny · 06-28-2013, 02:07 PM

Any word if u r gonna be making these

down to buy one and try it on

Roy · 06-28-2013, 04:01 PM

I do make these.

stellasmechanic · 06-28-2013, 06:09 PM

Roy,

That thing is amazing. I'm guessing the aluminum by itself is close to $200?

na svt · 06-28-2013, 09:26 PM

Those EDMs are ****ing awesome! How about a video of it in action?

Do you have an FR500 intake?

1993Lightning · 06-29-2013, 12:36 AM

Great work Roy, thats a piece of work.. Im also in for the results. I just picked up, supposedly, the last ported FR500 intake by Mike Tymensky. Its currently at Nitrous Outlet getting plumbed and flowed with a duel spray bar..

machdude · 06-29-2013, 02:07 AM

It looks awesome! Also interested in seeing results from instal

well in about a week I will be ordering one of these just 1 concern?

Will this have clearance with an 03 04 cobra hood?

I doubt it, I have the H.O fiber trends 2 1/2" hood and I'll still have to modify the throttle cable bracket. I'd have no problem if I wasn't running cruise.
Another option, would be shimming the k member down. But then you need coil overs.

If I had the 4" hood, you could get away with the 3" spacer.

Nope

djmanny · 06-30-2013, 12:07 AM

Uhhhhh then Roy please tell me a 1.5 or 1.25 u can make and will it clear?

Roy · 06-30-2013, 10:36 AM

I have no idea if it’ll clear a cobra hood. I can make you k-member shims if necessary.

CO Mack · 06-30-2013, 05:30 PM

How about an FR500 spacer for use with shaker and stock hood? Anyone know what will fit?

Why would you need coil overs?

Mach828 · 07-05-2013, 04:08 PM

How do you think this would work on a centri car with the stock intake and my 2hp gain port job.
