Re: SY2932's project page
Jas, I sent you a PM last week asking you to confirm your mailing address so that I can get this back to you. Still haven't heard from you... Please let me know before I see something else I don't like and start working on it again :lol:!
Sorry but I am not entertaining any new projects at this time. I have one more item that I have to complete. After that, I will be devoting time to work on my truck and projects outside of sytys for awhile. Hit me up at the NATS and we can discuss the details of what you are looking for...
:shocked!:
:drool:

Re: SY2932's project page
Spent a couple of hours at the "fun factory" tonight working on a few items. It was an adjustment rod kind of night:
Keeping with "SY2932 tradition", these are engraved on every other side (three total) so at least one should be visible with it installed on the truck. The owner of the large "syclone" one the top got the first "typhoon" one that I made last year:
I wonder if he has any plans to get a Sonoma GT...

Re: SY2932's project page
Sorry been CRAZY busy these days. My machine is in the middle of cutting a huge mold, 30.5" X 26.5" X 4". Total run time is 80 hours for the top 1 program. I have to run another program later that will last for many more hours. The tool that is in the spindle right now will cut for 56 hours before it's done... All the machines are in use right now and my coworker has both vises set up as fixtures on his mill so I can't use either one. I will get back to you on pricing but I can't promise anything due to our work load at the moment.

Re: SY2932's project page
I'm starting to see light at the end of the tunnel. Stayed after work a couple of hours last night to cut some EGR plates for the NATS:
I cut a GMC one for you too. However, I didn't see your name listed on the registration page so it's still here rather than on the road to BG with Brian Erhley (Sy-1177). I *should* be able to fab the rest of your stuff sometime later this month. I will be on vacation the entire last week in August though.

Thanks Mike. You always come through. The EGR block off plate is most important, as I'm trying to get the motor for my latest Ty done asap. Next is the AC delete rod, so we can get Dameon's truck done. The rest of the stuff can wait til you get back.
LMK how much I owe you and how I can pay up. If theres anything else, just give me a buzz.

Re: SY2932's project page
Got to spent some personal time on the vertical mill today. This endeavor had a special meaning for me and I'm pretty sure that it will for the owner too...
This compressor housing presents a problem because the area that I needed to engrave was not flat. It had an angle to it. So I had to mount it to a plate with dowel pins and a plate that I cut to clamp the inlet:
Even a HUGE turbo like this looks small on my table :lol:. What's even more ironic is that I will be cutting it on this huge 22,000 pound CNC with a cutter that is only the width of three hairs or three pieces of paper:
With the mounting plate up against pins in the table, it is gotten in parallel with the table travel in the "X" (from left to right for all you non machinist types out there):
Next the real "fun" begins, getting the area that I need to engrave parallel to the spindle. That is, having it at the same height across the area that I want to machine not only from left to right but also front to back. By the time I am done, it is within .001" in all directions (one third the thickness of a hair or a piece of paper):
Making chips. Mike Renz wanted me to get him some video but as you can see, there is nothing to see with five coolant nozzles blasting the part :lol: :
I had to deck off the area that I had to engrave because there was an ID/part number scribed into it. Only had to take off .005" to achieve 100% clean up. I must say that the castings Garret uses are VERY high quality. No voids of any kind like I have seen in the other stuff that I have done over the years. That includes both GM and after market.
Took two hours to machine and about an hour to hand polish. The owner said that the outlet would be clocked at 4 o'clock. So I had to engrave the logo at 60 degrees clockwise from the position that I had it mounted on the table. That way, it will be "level" when it is on the truck:
A close up:
Hope that the new owner turns some decent times with it!
