Aftermarket Inquiry

[foundry3]

Any update?

Currently modeling for the alternator bracket is underway. We are also very close to cutting our first production set of covers.

We also received 3 of the 4 mounts needed from Nuno, looking for the small 4th mount currently.

Thank you for checking in!

Thanks for checking in. We are close to finishing modeling the alternator bracket and just took possession of material to cut covers. Apologies as development has taken a bit more time than planned. Updates will shortly be posted. Thanks for the interest!

Please post the weight savings of your alternator bracket vs OEM

Will do It will be substantial.

Apologies for the lack of updates, with race season approaching we have been very busy on non NSX related projects.

Update->
Alternator Bracket: Since this piece is integral in the engine placement by way of it being a contact point for the passenger side motor mount, we are in research and development to assure the billet variant is as least as strong as the stock unit.

Motor Mounts: We are finished developing and are working up a price. We will open a group buy for 10 sets and you will have your choice of 65-95 durometer inserts along with anodizing options and insert colors.

Valve Covers: Finished modeling and currently authoring tool paths, which for 2 pieces of this size and fidelity is substantial.

Oiless Turbo System: Prototype complete, testing to commence once we have a capable clutch installed in the foundry3 NSX.

I was going to bump this last night but then thought I would wait another couple of days, how about the fixed seat mounts any development on something specific for the NSX.
Cheers

Looking forward to the updates on the alternator bracket and motor mounts!

Any teaser pictures of te engine mounts?

Any teaser pictures of te engine mounts?

I will post up a group buy thread early next week that will include renderings.

Are the motor mounts billet machined aluminum like stmpos used to be?

Correct. Solid billet with configurable hardness inserts.

Would be very interested in a dry sump kit!

Correct. Solid billet with configurable hardness inserts.

This sounds promising. I was always a fan of stmpo's mounts but they were discontinued before I picked up a set. I lost out because Ross was telling me "you should pick a set up because once they're gone they're gone". I'm sure others feel the same way too.

I would like to see billet seat rails. Maybe just the sides, and they could be attached to generic bases. I don't know though.

Me too.

Correct. Solid billet with configurable hardness inserts.

Is there any ETA on this? Do you have any teaser pictures? And maybe rough price range? Anything to make me wait a little longer. Thanks

I've been working with my vendor on getting proper scale renders and lock down delivery eta since late last week.

Pricing at this point is not firm, but they should be under the $900 mark for the set.

I am working diligently to get the mounts to market as soon as possible, the issue I face with all my projects is that the automotive industry will not move as fast as consumers expect. I am and will continue to push my vendors to expedite production on not only mounts, but valve covers, and alternator brackets as well.

I will report back as soon as possible.

 

[solidol]

Thanks for update.

 

[foundry3]

Just wanted to update the status of things. I apologize for the delays.

My mount vendor has gone incommunicado, I'm trying diligently to reopen the dialogue but am not getting any response. Sad thing is these are all ready to be made.

Valve covers and alternator brackets are modeled and in my primary machinists queue...the waiting game ensues.

It sounds like there hasn't been any progress on a set of billet fixed seat mounts correct @foundry3?

Unfortunately I don't have a set of seats or rails to model against.

Waiting on that alternator bracket any time frame on this approx? I dont need engine mounts
