Well, I didn't want to tap my CAI for my meth, so I bought a TB spacer from CA. Nothing against them, they are a good company, but I was not impressed with the quality of that unit. I went and talked to a machinist that I know and he prototyped one for me out of aluminum. He let me know that he now has the program set up in his CNC, so he can make a bunch of them. I can tap the top or the side or both. I get them with a machined finish, but can polish them as well.

Here is a picture of a machined finish one with 2 taps:



Here is a couple of a polished one installed on my car:




Any interest in these? If you are interested please post your name, number of taps, tap location and finish. For example:

1 - SJSchafer, 1, top, polished


1 - M-Dub, 1, side, machined
2 - Doc, ?, ?, ?
3 - Tennpenn83, 2, top/side, polished
4 - TommySSSC, 1, top, polished
5 - SS/SCking, 2, top/side,machined
6 - siphon_78, 2, top/side, machined
7 - anthonyS88, 1, top, polished
8 - Blur.fx, 1, side, polished
9 - 06_SS_S/C, 1, top, polished
10 - NTSR_SS, 1, top, polished
11 - yel-low, 1, top, machined
12 - 06redlineb, 1, top, polished
13 - philipino guy, 1, top, polished
14 -

This is not a commitment to buy. I am just seeing what people want. Also, keep in mind that I can do a single tap on either the top or the front side and a 2 tap setup is 1 on top and 1 on side. The back side cannot be done due to the drive by wire box being in the way.

 

Hell yes and how much est??

 

how much

 

Probably about $80-$85. It depends on how many people want them.

 

Thats not bad!

 

Yea, I am more just trying to help out the community than anything else. I flet there was a need for these and I found someone who will machine them for me, so I figured I'd see if anyone else wants them as well. He can make a bunch of different stuff. If I knew of other things that people might want, I could talk to him about them. I wouldn't even mind becoming a supporting vender and selling a bunch of stuff, if I knew what people wanted/needed. If there is good interest in these, I will prolly do that anyway, depending what it takes to get set up.

 

I'll take one.

 

I just PMed a mod to see what becoming a vendor looks like. Let's see what they say. In the mean time, I should probably get a list going to get an idea. If you are interested please post your name, number of taps, tap location and finish. For example:

1 - SJSchafer, 1, top, polished

Updated to first post.

 

gl with that better hope they are on the ball

 

Here's crossing fingures! Anyone know what the requirements are?

 

yeah you have to pay XXX for a year

 

That's it? I wonder how much xxx is... Alright everyone, price just went up!!



j/k

 

you have a pm

 

Thanks for your help.

 

Tennpenn83, 2, top/side, polished




p.s. it'd be awesome if there was a groove for another orange o-ring gasket thingy like what's on the supercharger

 

Honestly, that's not a bad idea... I just got some gasket material from Kragen, traced it out with an exacto knife in about 3 minutes and it works great. No leaks. Probably cheaper and easier than getting a new TB gasket.

 

tommy - need something thatll work with ais stage 1 kit, assuming thats one hole on the top for it. polished too thanks! keep me updated with info please

 

Yea, 1, top works great with the AIS stage 1 kit. That's what I have on my car.

evening bumpage.

 

What's this Kragen material? Like a do-it-yourself gasket maker?

I am looking for a TB spacer with the 2 holes, one on the top, one on the side. I am assuming I can run meth on one and nitrous on the other? And if I don't have one at the time of install, I imagine I can plug one off until I get it, right?

 

Yes, you can use one for meth and one for nitrous. If you are not using one, you can plug it with a npt plug.

 

Ill get on that list...SS/SCking 2, top/side,machined

 

Sweet! One I don't have to polish.

You are added.

 

lol ,ya everybody knows GM does not polish stuff ....

 

I had the CA one and now have an aluminum on from rebel. the material that CA used disapates heat very well the only complaint i had is the holes didn't line up.

 

That and I went to drill and tap my CA one and it cracked. Not even from the tapping, from the drilling.
