SJSchafer

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.

M-Dub

Hell yes and how much est??

how much

SJSchafer

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

M-Dub

Thats not bad!

SJSchafer

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.

Doc

I'll take one.

SJSchafer

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

SJSchafer

Thanks for your help.

Tennpenn83

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

SJSchafer

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.

TommySSSC

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

SJSchafer

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

evening bumpage.

Tennpenn83

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?

SJSchafer

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.

SS/SCking

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

SJSchafer

Sweet! One I don't have to polish.

You are added.

SS/SCking

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

stryder

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.

SJSchafer

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