Re: New product devolopment
 

Awesome! Good luck with it guys! I'll have to swing by and see it sometime. Maybe I could give you guys a few pointers or suggestions.

Re: New product devolopment
 

Sweet :D Take lots of pics!

Re: New product devolopment
 

Now I have to definatley have to drag my ass over to primo...live 10 minutes away..yet have never been..weird...haha.

Re: New product devolopment
 

Hahaha, good idea dudes!

Re: New product devolopment
 

We're almost finished making the CAS Heat Shield for the EVO... We should have a couple of them to give away at the dyno day as well as some license plate brackets.

Anyone have any ideas on colors for them?

We were thinking of doing black, red & polished..

Ideas, Comments, Suggestions are always welcome

Re: New product devolopment
 

Black, polished, and red (to match the valve cover) sound like good ideas to me.

Re: New product devolopment
 

We also maybe were thinking wrinkle black as well. Thats what Im doing for my valve cover and upper intercooler pipe.

Re: New product devolopment
 

Thank you guys VERY much for donating the CAS shields and the battery tray today! They all looked very nice; I happened to win the black CAS shield and already installed it :D

Re: New product devolopment
 

How much for a polished one (CAS shield)? I'd like one please :)

Very nice!

Re: New product devolopment
 

I got the polished one via my cousin today, Early B-day presents rock :)

I like it, it's polished very well, mirror like. I'm hoping to throw it on tomorrow. Thanks for donating!

Re: New product devolopment
 

$25 for the Heatshields

Here are some better pics of mine.

Re: New product devolopment
 

We got some Radiator brackets cut out today and we will be powder coating and polishing some over the next few days. Here is a sneak peak.

We also started some spark plug covers. But these wont be available for a few weeks.

Re: New product devolopment
 

Just a thought: Should there be more rubber on the radiator tabs? The stock ones have a bit more give to them don't they? I just worry about the plastic endtanks and the mounting pins (from the radiator itself) cracking from too much vibration.

Re: New product devolopment
 

Would it be better to cover the front of the CAS as well?

Re: New product devolopment
 

Ya we are trying this out on my car right now, we are getting some rubber inserts that will give a little more.

Re: New product devolopment
 

We are thinking that as well, We are also wondering if the alignment pins in the stock ones will be needed to stop the raitator from shifting. This one was just a prototype to try it out. We will design a different one if these doen work out.

This brings up a good point but they way we look at it is the exhaust manifold is the hottest parts, the radiator hose doesnt get that hot compaired to the exhaust. And closing the CAS in with another side would more then likely trap heat in and around the CAS.

Re: New product devolopment
 

I think utilizing the alignment pins plus a little more rubber would be a good idea. Can't wait to see the final product :D

Re: New product devolopment
 

Thanks for all you input guys!!!

Re: New product devolopment
 

I was talking to mike about AFPR mounting brackets, he said it would be a possibility.

Re: New product devolopment
 

Yep, Its a possibility...
Actually already have one done, (on sleepydsm's car)
Just need to draw up a CAD drawing for it,
though Matt (turbomiata) is out of town for 2 weeks so it will be available sometime after he gets back, he does all of the CAD and Plasma cutting here,
I wish he was still here cause in the last few days we have had a few more products to start producing.

Re: New product devolopment
 

lol, I am full of a ton of ideas.

Re: New product devolopment
 

Haha feel free to give us a few of those ideas, We have quite a bit of ideas / products were starting to make but im sure there are some things we haven't thought of yet.

Re: New product devolopment
 

Just glad to see you are making some DSM shit, some of us are feeling forgotten.

Re: New product devolopment
 

EGR block-off plates are easy to make and universal between DSM's and Evo's.

Re: New product devolopment
 

Already done :D

Re: New product devolopment
 

You should make a 1g motor mount that isn't such a big ugly piece as the stock one. Maybe one that doesn't even use the mount on the front of the engine, if that makes sense. I believe the 2g one doesn't have that.

Re: New product devolopment
 

Take a look at SleepyDSMs engine shots. He chopped his off and welded in a square in where he chopped it. We can definatly do that for you if you bring it by.

Re: New product devolopment
 

I've done the same thing. You can only do that if you aren't running power steering.

Re: New product devolopment
 

Any progress on the radiator support brackets? Also, have another product idea for you, how about a radiator cooling plate like the one linked below, but with the intake snorkel opening optional since some do and some don't run it?

Re: New product devolopment
 

+1, I want one!

http://www.cimotorsports.net/motor-s...plate-evo.html

ditch the hole on the side so its all solid except for the latch.

Hrm, I have kinda a list of stuff for you guys on my car, this would certainly be pretty pimp if it was polished :D

Re: New product devolopment
 

Make some of that air diversion shit for DSMs you know everyone would use it since most have heating problems or would just like to run cooler.

Re: New product devolopment
 

^^^This.



I would also buy some radiator support brackets in a heartbeat, mine are beyond gone.

Re: New product devolopment
 

I'm pretty sure the stock DSM core support is already solid between the top of the bumper and the front edge of the radiator (between the headlights), so something like that would be pointless on a 1g.

Re: New product devolopment
 

what about between the intercooler and radiator or all the other ducting that pep\ole make? I know that most take out the stock plastic stuff and leave it open, even though a nice plate similar to what bman has would be nice.

Re: New product devolopment
 

Starting Monday I will be a full time Primo Performance employee. We will have more time to get customer cars in and out alot faster, and develope more products. I will try and see if I cant get a prototype of the Evo radiator cooling plates. We also scrapped the original radiator mounting brackets and will be developing more in the near future.
As for the ducting for the raditor, we will look into it and see what we can develope. I just feel that with all the different FMICs out there it will be hard to make a universal one.

Re: New product devolopment
 

What happened with your other job?

Re: New product devolopment
 

I ran power steering with mine chopped.
