NorthwoodGT Intake Spacer

[jmichalicek]

Hopefully my search abilities haven't just failed me on this, but I'm sure not finding definite answers in search.

I'm going to be adding a JLT RAI and intake spacer when I have my motor rebuilt (I know it doesn't need a rebuild for such basic stuff, I can just easily tack on the extra $200-$250 for the parts and barely notice it). All I ever see talked about for the Cobra is the Kar Kraft 3/8" intake spacer, but Kar Kraft is no more. I believe I have seen mentioned that the intake spacers being sold by northwoodgt on ebay are the Kar Kraft ones just being sold under a new name. Is that correct?

Yep, KarKraft established themselves as NorthwoodGT

It seems like they are transitioning themselves into the Ford GT supercar platform and thus you might see lots of Ford GT parts being sold under their new "entity".

I have my intake spacers nearly ready to go out the door. They are a larger 3/8" spacer without gaskets, with gaskets installed you get a full 5/8" plenum volume increase. The only thing I have left to do is install one on my car. I wont sell anything until I test it myself, doesnt matter how simple the product may be. I plan to install a spacer on my car this week sometime.

I will be including grade8 black anodized socket cap bolts with my spacers. This also includes the long bolt that goes through the top of the lid to the intake manifold. All spacers come packaged with a brand new OEM ford intake gasket. Price is set at $99 shipped for the first 3 units.

Ok enough of the shameless self plugging. I'll make another post with pics of the spacers and install process when I get the spacer installed.

Glad I read this, I was on eBay looking at them debating on purchasing today or not. I will wait for yours. If everything works out, I will order yours as soon as you are ready to ship.

Do yours fit under the hood and allow the egr to hook up without any issues? From what I read, a total 3/8" including spacer and gaskets is about as tall as you can go without any issues. Some people went taller, but it looked like they were having to remove the liner from the hood, delete the egr or struggle to get it connected, etc.

will you be dyno testing these items?

3/8" is max for stock hood liner. with my 3/8" spacer, the vacuum line coming off top the egr rubs slightly into the liner. not sure about 5/8", but my guess would be the headliner would need to be removed or it will get damaged. with the 3/8" spacer the egr is workable with a little force. i think i read that for 5/8" some either bent the egr pipe or deleted it.

 

[99COBRA2881]

I'll be installing the 3/8" spacer on my car starting tomorrow evening. It will take awhile longer due to taking photos and documenting the install. I'll post up with any problems or clearance issues that I may encounter. As for dyno time, I honestly cant say when Ill get to the dyno. I'll post up with any driveability issues that I may encounter.

Stock.

3/8" spacer w/ gaskets.

Would this be helpful for N/A applications?

I have an 01 intake manifold on my car with COMP cams [and longtube headers shortly]..or is this more for boosted applications?

99COBRA2991, I might also take one after you're done testing and ready to ship. Let me know when the time comes and I'll give you my verdict.

I read most of it..but not all the pages..

but from what i saw...there were actual gains with the intake spacer..is this correct?

If so..I will be adding this to my mod list :banana: and will pick one up as well!

..does anyone know if this spacer will fit under the stock hood?? [I have a 96 cobra with a stock hood]
