If we had a lot of interest for a similar S62 manifold design in the future (30+), we might look into doing one.

What would be the costs of a custom (i.e., non-production) unit? I suspect about four or five of us on the board would be interested.

Engineering and tooling costs for such a piece is very high, which is why it does not really make sense for less than 30-50 units.

To make 10 of them for instance, they would each cost 7-10K USD, if we make 30-50, they would be in the 3-5k range, 100+ in the 2-3K range.

**** i think the flywheel might not be on there right, here are all the codes.

184 B8 function, inlet vanos, bank 1
015 0F camshaft sensor, bank 1:synchronization to crankshaft
185 B9 function, exhaust vanos, bank 1
113 71 function, inlet vanos, bank 2
162 A2 camshaft sensor, bank 2: sycnrhonization to crankshaft
114 72 Function, exhaust vanos, bank 2

so off the tranny comes again...fml

at least now i can put a ton of grease on the parts so that squeeking will go away...LOL!

side track: i don't believe the dinan S3 setup has different internals, right?
