scoobyscoodle Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 When we're getting pressure from a lot of people to get this thing banged out, it's great to see so many of you willing to wait a bit longer than expected for the best possible product. That's because we're the mature ones. That's looking excellent guys! And it looks like if you use some vasoline, you can just barely squeeze the crawford aos in there nicely. As for the ports, personally I think you guys should just not deal with it. Makes it easier for you guys, and gives customers more options for their unique setups whether that's meth, SD, multiple nozzles, etc. Looks like you have LOTS of flat surfaces to drill and tap.

baconbits Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I'd prefer to weld a bung on versus tapping 1/8" aluminum, but that's just me. Generally, in soft metals, you want 1.5x the diameter for thread depth - 1/4" fitting needs a 3/8" deep threads - to help prevent stripping.

mr.hicksta Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Thank you all for being so supporting and understanding. When we're getting pressure from a lot of people to get this thing banged out, it's great to see so many of you willing to wait a bit longer than expected for the best possible product. Take all the time you need! There are quite a few of us who know this TMIC will be well worth the wait!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) Yes just do the what most of us want, if someone wants to add more bung's they can on their dime not all of our's.

Turkeylord Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Since you're casting the production endtanks, maybe leave that surface thick enough to be tapped so no bung is required? Or maybe cast in a bung blank like Cobb did here: http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r69/mickeyd2005/IMG_8772.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12sechatch Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 (edited) Has there been talk of ballpark price point yet? Since there is a prototype, we should be getting close to knowing rough manufacturing costs and such, yes?

SBT Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Just wait for the FMS knockoff if you want it fast! Yeah - I'm sure that's already deep into post-R&D, production planning...Read: Measure, copy, build GSes's version for a fraction of the cost and flood the market with cheap off-shore-built knock-offs, that neither fit nor function properly...ever. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Y.X. Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Haha, I'm blown away by how many of you have signed up to get updates and notifications of the TMIC! Honestly, I was only expecting 10-20 people! To answer your question, here's how I'm thinking the intercooler and options will probably break down. TMIC Package - $XXX - TMIC welded assembly - 2-bolt to 2in turbo adapter - silicone coupler clamps for inlet - silicone coupler and clamps for outlet to TB - BPV recirc hose extension with clamps - OPTION: Thermal dispersant coating - $XXX - OPTION: Thermal barrier film for end tanks (gold, apply yourself) - $XXX Splitter - $XXX - this may/will require multiple fitments for a couple of the different cars, so it'll need to be sold separately STI-style turbo coupler - $XXX - used with stock location turbos that don't have the 2-bolt outlet I used both the thermal dispersant coating on the core and thermal barrier film on the end tanks of my 02-07 last week and made just a hair under 600whp without sweat on an unhealthy motor. Will rebuild and push it further in the next month or so. This stuff is NOT snake oil, but of course, the choice is yours!

Flinkly Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Any chance the thermal dispersant would be available to non-GS TMIC/FMIC's? Techline coating, I assume? * Build Thread * 26.53 MPG - 12 month Average * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
