62 mm TB's - Page 9

AMRAAM4 · 12-29-2004, 12:16 PM

5 months is short, ask the people who have been waiting over a year from a certain vendore.....then were told they were going to have to wait longer for a refund from their loan...errrr...I mean pre-pay.

Sprucegagt · 12-29-2004, 12:20 PM

Well crappy business practice is never acceptable.

12-29-2004, 12:26 PM

I never even got a chance to use mine before I sold the Grand Am.

It's for sale if anyone is interested.

phatG-A · 12-29-2004, 07:02 PM

i think i know the vendor mentioned above, thats why i don't plan on dealing with them again. i mean it took 8 months to get the part that i ordered and the only reason i got it then was because i was moving and didn't have my new address. but as far as this goes r&d does take alot of time and also when dealing with different companies to make different parts also effects time tables.

Azrael · 12-29-2004, 10:14 PM

Reading back they had the TB's milled already and only needed the plates. I doubt they'd make the investment on milling the TB's without following through. They'd want some return on it. Although why it could take so long to make something as simple as the plates is a mystery.

ImpetuousRacer · 01-13-2005, 10:51 AM

These's TB's done yet so I can buy one or what?

phatG-A · 01-22-2005, 03:33 PM

ok i just talked with TY. and he sent me these pics of the 65mm now he's just waiting on the bearings. then they will be ready. and that is the plate that he was waiting on. he said he's going to polish them up too

XtremeGaGt00 · 01-22-2005, 09:35 PM

another good thing when ur puttin your bigger throttle bodie on is the take the upper intake off and get your dremel out of whatever method is best for you and grind down the metal where the air flows through to make the 62 mm t.b match the 62mm intake inlet instead of 62mm into a 56mm

dongalonga · 01-22-2005, 10:03 PM

Our stock tb is 58mm, but yeah you def wanna port match. I still need to do mine.

bszopi · 01-23-2005, 09:02 AM

Stock TB is 56, not 58.

AaronGTR · 01-23-2005, 10:43 AM

^ what he said... stock is 56mm.

You'll burn out a dremel tool and go thru a million sanding drums trying port an intake mani to match a larger TB. They aren't meant for that kind of heavy duty work. For a couple bucks you can get some larger sanding drums and flap wheels from sears that fit in your drill. They will make the work go much faster and easier with a better end result.

tejohnson · 01-23-2005, 10:50 AM

I have a Dremel and a RotoZip

Been using the RotoZip as a cutoff grinder lately to remove some fender well material

dongalonga · 01-23-2005, 03:26 PM

my bad i thought it was 58mm.

ImpetuousRacer · 01-25-2005, 04:55 PM

What is the expected cost, and the expected release date of this product? Thanks.

ImpetuousRacer · 01-26-2005, 03:40 PM

phatG-A · 01-26-2005, 09:00 PM

ok so everyone know's i talked with Ty again tonight and he is still not connected to the internet. so if you have emailed him through here or his website he hasn't gotten it. if you want to get ahold of him call him on his cell phone at 559-473-5888 or email him on his phone at 559473588@tmomail.net. he said if you email kind of keep it short since he'll be text messaging it back to you.

phatG-A · 02-05-2005, 06:00 PM

ok here are two pics of what can be done to the 65mm t-bodies. the maroon and black is mine. it's called the smoke effect. the secong is phantoms. completelly polished. of couse when you do these effects it will be more money. when i talked with Ty today he said the first 5 will go for around $350 or so.

phatG-A · 02-05-2005, 06:01 PM

also this is what he did to my CAI
