We have finally listened to the masses and came to the market with one. FINALLY!!!!

The price will be $110.

Give us a couple days to add it to the site.

Golden eagle sucks. Theyve been doing stuff forever, but they take about a year to get anything to you.

Try getting them to work on your motor They took my crx motor and kept it for 9 months and gave it back to me without doing anything to it....

Uhm, I think the price differential can be attributed to Custom made vs. Mass machined.

^^^^ Well thats life i rather save money and buy from kms then spend 30 more, i am running kms i am happy with it, as long as dezods has enough holes for coolant flow it should be just as good, but yes i would still like his explaination why its 30 bucks more.

Logan you always have nothing positive to say. If it wasn't for Paul and Dezod we would have crappy *** cars that would be only good for driving miss daisy. Do you have any experience in R&D research or Quality Control in products to sell????? If so you would not say they rip people off...You go and buy the eqipment to make products and see how your logic will change.

I DO I DO!!!

But i dont have the time nor patience to deal with people. Thats why they can charge the money that they do. They are dealing with people. The good, the bad, the freaking annoying......
Ive been there and its not a fun thing. Just be grateful they are making parts so you dont have to use the chinese mass produced crap they are selling elsewhere.....

how hard can it be to "develop" when all you need to do is buy a kms one and copy the design? Its not like it has not been done before, now the intake manifold, tb, fuel rail thats a completely different story those have never been made before and should be a little pricey when they first come out.

how do you figure? most of us on here, including myself, have the enginuity to make our own custom kits without having to be raped up the *** by purchasing a kit. so i fail to see how if he was never around that we would all have slow cars. if anything, i would say that if it wasnt for SF we might all have slow cars since they are the ones that first pioneered a turbo kit for the 7thgen and proved to all of us that it can be done with great results.

whole lotta hatin going on...i took it as paul saying that dezod is finally carrying a block guard. Not saying his products are any better than anyone else's but i do know that his customer service is great. and if you have any issues, he's a lot easier to approach than some of the aftermarket tuning companies...

and 30 bucks is not a whole lot of money, especially when you're a private company like dezod. Not trying to preach to anyone, but why go for the negative all the time.

just my.02

Well Amber use your enginuity and make something for the D17 motor. Anyone can buy pieces from a catalog to build a turbo kit. But not many can actually design and build a manifold,flanges, and mandrel bent tubing.

That price is not set in stone fellas. This thread was merely to inform those who asked repeatedly that we now will have it available. Nothing more or less. Geeesh!

Will these have a problem with overheating the engine? I think I heard somewhere in the past that kms blockgaurds overheat the engine and the holes had to be drilled larger.
