I am usually satisfied with a nice blasted finish on sand cast aluminum. That being said, now that I have seen it, I prefer the look of the vapor blasted parts. I am thinking about making my own vapor blasting cabinet to supplement my media processing. It is a finer finish on aluminum, and it can be used on die cast without that flat finish.

 

What kind of vapor are we talking about? Steam?

 

oops

 

 

No, it's an abrasive media suspended in water. It is the same as "dustless blasting", just a different name


Yes! Exactly. The mass of the water helps strip the surface without building heat or using the abrasive as much. It leaves very nice finish.

I think I looked at some of this guys stuff. https://www.restocycle.com/vapor-blasting-faq
Check out some videos on Youtube

 

 

just sorting through stuff yes i have the brackets and t housing for the tram

 

Good grief

 

 

 

Is that the T-Ram that just traded for big dollars? Heard a story through the grape vine...

 

Nice little stash !!! and you guys call me a hoarder lol

 

Unbelieveable collection!

 

I have a First Tpi im going to be selling if you want to complete your collection lol

 

there can be more than just one of ya

 

I have a good line on getting T-ram intake gaskets done now. A corrected base sample will be sent this week.

Using Armstrong .062” N8092 Material for both parts a "set" is around 25-30 ea. (I'm guessing somewhere in the middle)

A "set" is 6 parts (4 base and 2 plenum/side tank) Numbers are based on 50 sets.

If the material or thickness is incorrect, please feel free to post info or pictures of original gaskets.

As you can see, cost is up there when you figure that many at a time.

The big question, is anyone still interested ?

Hopefully have something in the next couple of weeks.

 

I'd like 3 sets of gaskets, for sure.

 

Tony count me in for 2 sets

 

I’m considering letting one of my manifolds go. It won’t be cheap but if anyone really wants one feel free to PM

 

What’s the I don’t want to sell it price ?

 

I'll take two sets. Charlie is yours still in the natural casting or has it been blasted or polished?

 

We can add another one to the "it runs" club. Needs tuned buuuut it's alive

 

Mine finally runs!

 

Hello everyone,

A couple months ago, I purchased the 1990 T-Ram Formula "Blackhawk" from Chris (PurelyPMD). I'm a spare parts kinda guy, and having something that doesn't have parts available annoys me. In a quest to insure I have spare parts for my T-Ram, I have sent the aluminum cam off to it 3D modeled. Since it doesn't make much sense to go through all this trouble and expense to reproduce just one part, I plan on doing a small run to make it available to others that would like to have it as a spare, or those missing it from thier T-Ram. I need some opinions on how to move forward after the 3D model is finished. Should this part be reproduced exactly, or have a few improvements made while we're in it this far? We could make some improvements such as delrin bushings on the faces and bore for smother rotation, no more metal to metal contact. Have them anodized? 3D printing is an option, but they would require some machining. Seems CNC milling is going to be the best route. I'm open to opinions and suggestions, let me hear your thoughts.

Thanks, David

 

I'm in need of a water neck and cruse control bracket

 

I think that there is a good chance that Chuck Jenkes was the designer. He is long gone from SLP and at HASS Formula 1 now. He was the airflow guru at the time. Interesting question.

I wondered about the manufacturing. My T-Ram has basting marks "B B" which I have yet to confirm to a manufacturer.

 

Quote condensed. You made the milk come out of my nose.

 

Tony - you know I am in for a couple of sets of gaskets. I think the AZ collector will buy several as well.

 

We are one step closer to having the cruise control assembly reproduced. I got word this morning that the 3D model is finished.

 

Depending on what you get them made for I might be down to buy an extra for my car

 

I’m interested in buying a dual set if you still have one for sale? Please call me (774) 437-1570 Mike

I don't have any other dual CAI setups right now

 

I should have my last gasket samples back on Monday or tues. Of course the pricing has gone up a bit from last year but I'm pretty excited to be about done with them! I actually shipped them a intake setup so they could get them 100% spot on.

Last samples are in.

 

Side tank gaskets are finally done!

 

Awesome 👏

 

What’s the price for a set?

 

X2...

 

I need a set also

Tom... you the same tom as back in the cfi vault days? Same name

 

You got it! Great to see you "around", Marck!

 

I now have a few of the shipping boxes in so If anyone needs gaskets, let me know.
30$ a set plus shipping which is coming in around 20$ give or take.
A set includes 2 side tank gaskets and 4 upper lower intake gaskets. I'll try and get a nice picture of a set put up here soon.

 

I'd like a set. Maybe two. How do we do this?

 

A quick note about the 2 vs 4 center gaskets.


A set is 6 pieces, pictures show front/rear view and material. They are spec at .062 thick but are coming in around .063-.064. Shouldn't be a issue.
The extra set of upper lower gaskets are for different length injs same as SLP did it.

PM me with your shipping info and quantity so I can get a shipping quote and well go from there.
Thanks, Tony

 

You rock ttop350

 

Thanks for the help Tuned

 

any new updates???

 

Got mine yesterday. Good seller....good forum contributor. Thanks a bunch! :thumbs:

 

Thanks!

 

The aluminum cam can be machined at anytime, but they are going to be a bit expensive. I'm still looking for someone to make the brackets. I kinda put the project on the back burner after realizing just how costly it was going to be.

 

We have the brackets made just not the aluminum yet.. It gets spendy really quick doing this stuff !!!!
