Look for a thread calls "school me on oil coolers" you can get some nifty idea's in there.

And while you're at it I have a cnc egr block off plate as well you guys can copy haha offer a whole ka package deal. Good money for your shop! The piece I bought is real legit, nice and thick modled after the oem egr, round flanges and all.

These sort of things are not very difficult to make
the real question is whether enough people would want
them to make it worth the time to make them
machine time is pretty expensive and we already have
a couple of other cool things we want to make next
but, like I told fromxtor, I'll run it by Mike and if time allows who knows...

hunter8411 · 01-27-2009, 07:17 PM

Payment was just sent. Can't wait to get it. Thanks a lot and keep up the good work.

Got it and updated the list accordingly, thank you

Update:
- Cut about half the stock before the blade on the saw decided it had enough
- Finished final details on CAD program
- Got tooling and CNC set up sorted out
- Only had to adjust the depth of a chamfer and spindle speed for a tap operation that resulted in a broken tap
- have 5 pieces ran (and running the 6th as I type) through the first phase

casualty:

First piece with bad chamfer = set up piece

It's almost 10pm, time for me to go home and get some sleep....

SoBay240guy · 01-28-2009, 04:18 PM

No sleeps for you.

Back to work.

Done
You can pay whenever you like
5 persons have paid upfront
others will once the parts are ready
whichever you're comfortable with.

Done

Update
Day 4 - Second stage finished
this was by the far the worst, took about 20 mins per part

Day 5 - Fixture for 1/8 NPT ports
kinda hard to notice but the fittings threads were milled, that's right - milled threads

SoBay240guy · 02-02-2009, 10:37 AM

Juan is a slave driver.....

We both put in 40 "extra" hours this week (we already work 40-50 hour weeks) All after 6PM and on the weekend. This should have taken much longer, We are both feeling it this morning.

I can see that our work is appreciated, Thanks to everyone who shared kind words (and all the pre-payers) <---they kept us full of Monsters and paid for materials and tooling.

We will finish de-burring today and send to anodize today or tomorrow. and i'll slip the guy an extra $20 so he hurrys them through.
