I just wanted to tell you that Hypermax is in the process of developing a Fire Ring kit for the idi. The first time I actually heard it was from NMB2 and I called Ron from Hypermax to get some more info as far as timeline and other stuff. Ron said that they are looking into doing two different kits. One will not have to have any machining done from what I understood and the other will have to have the block machined to accept the rings. I asked him what a round about price would be for each kit and he said that the kit that did not require any machine work would be around $500 and the other one would be around $1200. IF Hypermax does get this done, it would be a real step forward for idi performance and reliability. As far as the timeline goes, they are hoping to get started in the next few weeks and possibly will be done by the end of February. Ron did also want me to say that this is not a for sure thing because they are just in the planning stages right now. All credit for this news goes to Justin for telling me about it. But anyway, this setup will be pretty cheap and will solve all of the problems with idi gaskets for a reasonable price.
