whats the deal dude?

This is a quote that Carlos sent me based on my current buildup. Makes me wonder if he may have experienced these issues and because of that he now is reinforcing the plenum floor, end caps and using higher gauge aluminum to rectify the issue. I do hope Carlos chimes in here.


"Ill recommend a Ported Short Runner with a reinforced plenum floor and end caps ready for boost. This will be fully custom and specific to your needs.

You are looking at $989.00 shipped to your door. The cost is a little higher since Ill have to utilize higher gauge aluminum and requires more time time machining and TIG welding.

This intake will bring huge gains from ~3000RPM - Up to the red line!

If you decide to go with an standard length runner, fully ported intake the cost is $625.00 shipped to your door.

Ill require a US Postal Service MO payable to Carlos Nazario included with the intake core.

Let me know how I could help you!

Carlos

So lets get this straight now. He NOW realizes there is a issue with the intake and to fix the issue with his intake, he'll charge you more money to solve a problem with his own design flaw??
So in other words, pay $900 for a intake that will result in cracked welds in a short time or pay a additional $100 and he'll send you a intake that is put together correctly and perform like it should? :shake:

Im pulling this intake off Saturday cause Im more then positive mine has cracked welds. The noise is louder, and I have a rough idle that hangs up a little. I hope he plans on fixing his POS welding job with improved material for free for us customers that have been patient with him and his slow service.
 
Open Discussions --

This is an example why open and free discussions of new major mods is so important on this board. But, some jumped on the band wagon and shut off other opinions and shut down any meaningful discussions. Now - we all know the results.

Maybe we have a case of good design and poor execution. Perhaps Carlos (if he's listening) would do well to take his design and cut parts to a reputable metal shop and have the welding (and grinding as Paul recommends) done?
 
It's not just here. He has not responded on a couple of sites.

I've heard he has some MAJOR medical issues.

That being said find me 1...just 1 manufacturer working out on the bloody edge of performance speed parts that has zero problems ...

That is exactly why R&D takes months or even years to work out the bugs and do long term tests instead of: "Well it lasted for 3 dyno runs so it must hold up in the long term".....

With all due respect glenn, we got your point the first half dozen times you said it. Lets not kick these guys anymore while they are down, but instead put a little heat on carlos so we can get OUR members a working product.
 
Welds look horrible, you can see the crack dipping into the crater in a couple spots. That's bad because there shouldn't BE a crater in the middle of the weld. Heck, there shouldn't even be one at the end of the weld. Welds cracking down the middle indicate that being the weakest spot, plain and simple.
And for what it's worth, TIG and MIG were changed years ago to GTAW and SMAW, when it was realized that not all gases used for shielding are 'inert'. Who's yo daddy now? Me, that's who.:D

I just wrote down 3/64" = 0.0469 inch. Gimmee my $8 bucks. Or was the correct answer "Donkey", I forget. :D

Crater = Bad

Crack = Bad

Crater + Crack = Donkey

Let me know how I am doin' on this scribe stuff, huh Casey.

Lol, I am definetely going to post a Part Duex to my story, you just reminded of some funny stuff....
 
I'm going to throw out the possibility that Carlos can not respond because he has a problem with his health.
Just a thought.

Why not be a pioneer? A item is introduced by a vendor who did in fact have a good reputation so why not trust it? Im sure there was a time that bolting a S/C onto a Marauder was unheard of but it took some people to take a chance with their time and money to show the masses that it can be done and it will make power.
Its no different here. So keep your "I told you so" comments to yourself. Its the price of experimenting with what works and what dont.
