Boost jets on steroids (or have they just come of age)

My cars been on mig tips for about 3 years now & i'm very happy, no det' or coughing & spluttering, even changed sizes for rolling road/track days etc.

 

But in my strict monthly maintenance shedule i remove them & give 'em a blow through with an air line, at the same time last month I thought to put back in "off the shelf" the 1mm ones........ I had a set of my std mig tips measured on a shadowgraph.

 

The tolerance the company's allow for mig welding wire, is shall we say questionable. Plus there a bit fiddly.

 

So i've had these made for my car.

 

A decent lenth to work with. A ctr witness mark to see when its 1/2 way in.

Overbore to actual required bore 4 stage drilling, Rubber pipe sealing rings for the jubilee clips. And a 60 degree countersink each end to help air compression.

 

If they can be of use to you too, just ask!

I have been doing extensive homework, tests & experimentation with retro boost jets. trying to find the best combination of materials, appetures, fluting, ease of fitting. Trying to cure boost leakage problems over the whole plenum & intake, over velous application of too smaller appeture and so on. You see were i'm coming from here!

 

I'm about to put together a boost jet package that will be quite an eye opener.......Which might make me a trader??? Iain pm me!

 

All those who expressed a serious interest, 'thanks' just watch for a new post soon.
