Only thing I can add is there should be a bead at the end of the pipe to aid with hose retention...
Project: CNC Machined thermostat housing
- Thread starter 4U2QUIK
- Start date
I'm probbly going to barb the outlet. The reason why i didn't draw it was because a barb is a pain in the butt to draw.
I just dropped off the solid model and prints at the shop. with any luck I should have a prototype i nthe next week or so.

Teflon is very milky white and comes in handy when playing some disgusting practical jokes in liquid form.:evil2:
yeah, and when you get anodized teflon dipped the coating is so thin that it's clear.
But anyway, I'm probably going to not anodize and dip them because people will want different colors, and if that's the case it makes it much more expensive.

If the timing cover will clear without removing the hose, I want one. Bare - I'll powdercoat it myself 
I'm going to do them bare just for the reason of people will want their own coatings, and not what's best. As for clearing the cover. it should, and if it dosen't. It will.
I just got done talking to the shop and he said he'll have some pricing for me in the next day or so. I thought he was going to get back to me yesterday, but he's got some big project that he's doing for saleen so according to him and that's why I don't have a quote yet.
if he dosn't get back to me soon I'll prototype it out this next weekend myself on a prototrack machine.

ok, he's telling me that it's going to be around 100$, and that we will be doing the prototype on sunday. hear that rennat?
DAY EARLY PREVIEW!!!!!
i ended up doing the prototype in a prototrak today.
it'll be done tomarrow!

:aigo:FINALLY, IT'S DONE!:aigo:
I'll be test fitting it later when my car cools down.
also, I didn't put the barb on this one because I plan on making mine a -an fitting later on.
I did the prototype on a retrofitted bridgeport style machine so the finish isn't nearly as good as it would be if I did it in the cnc's. But all of the cnc machines had jobs setup in them so I couldn't use them for this.

it's already 1/4 of an inch furthur out than the stock outlet. I'm hoping this will be enough to clear the timing cover for removal. Plus if I moved it up it would cause some blending issues that would require more machining time to clean up. The way it is, it's a very simplw part to machine. Also, I left .1 extra material on the top for some engraving experimenting.
You guys.... no just me, some jackass decided to flake on me. That was reason number 1 out of about 5 why the housing wasn't made in a 3 axis cnc. It's also why it took me about 7 hours instead of a couple.
but anyway, here some pics of the initial test fit on rennat's supra.

jackass.... you had to ask
dosen't look like it, but i didn't try either. looks like it needs to come out another .250" to .375" which shouldn't make too much of a difference. I'll just shift everything up the same amoutn.
