115C - 125C for those not stuck in the dark ages :-p

We're not "stuck". We're just not quite ready to leave yet.

Anyway, feel free to tell us how cool you are when we bomb you with non-metric nukes.

hee hee heee.... Kudos Denis Leary, "we've got the bomb"

I think this one will work. The turbo rx7 guys have been using similar valves with the kynar/teflon construction successfully. Rated at 29"hg/150psi and 400f max momentary temps it should work.

AbeFM 06-16-2008 04:48 PM

I'm in. I got "outbid", but I wonder if we just told the guy we wanted a group buy on 20 or 30 of them if he'd be down. I'd get 3 or 4 myself. Anyone else in?

m2cupcar 06-16-2008 04:56 PM

another one, different vendor BIN... will buy tonight

AbeFM 06-18-2008 01:44 PM

Ok, I contacted the guy with the first auction, he said for a group buy of 20 he'd knock them down 20% to $3.20 each, plus $3 shipping per address (don't know if the 20% applies to that as well). Which makes them very attractive if you want more than one.

I would want at LEAST two, but probably I'd get 5 or so, since they are useful for all sorts of things.

Anyone else want a few? Since they are cheaper than the crappy check valves from your local FLAPS, and 5 of them is cheaper than the fancy ones I see people buying, it might be worthwhile.

Let me know....

m2cupcar 06-18-2008 02:23 PM

I bought one from that last auction. If you want to wait, I can report back once I have it installed and tested.

AbeFM 06-18-2008 02:39 PM

Sure, sounds good. 'Course, you beat me out at $4.50. Maybe in the mean time I'll come up with plans for where to spend the $1.30 I'm going to save. Maybe I'll buy a whopper!

Anyway, just fishing for interest here. My latest catch-can fantasy involves two valves...

91NApeewee 06-19-2008 01:07 AM

Abe, If you are getting them can you order me two or three? I can split shipping costs with you if you are interested.

I am having issues with my PCV

AbeFM 06-19-2008 01:17 PM

Woo-hoo, we're a third of the way there! Anyone else in?

quadmasta 06-24-2008 10:39 PM

I'll buy some. Oil in boost piping = bad.

cjernigan 06-24-2008 11:22 PM

Get yours yet Rob?

m2cupcar 06-24-2008 11:35 PM

not yet
 
no- guy said he ran out of stock and it would be here in another week. He hoped that wouldn't jeopardize future business with him. :nono:

AbeFM 06-25-2008 06:02 PM

Jump ship! Get mine!

$12.30 for 3 shipped... I got
Me: 4
Adam: 2-3
Quad: 3

Halfway there... And yes, I'm quite tired of my intercooler running like a fine oiled machine

m2cupcar 06-26-2008 09:13 AM

Ok Abe. Got my refund. I'm in for 3... it's like buy two get one for free! :D
When/how are you collecting funds?

johndoe 06-26-2008 09:32 AM

I'll get 3

AbeFM 06-27-2008 01:17 PM

...Waiting to hear back from the guy if he wants to pay seperate or what.... Will let you know.

If anyone else wants in, that would be awesome - otherwise I'll have to buy like 10 myself. :-\

rb26dett 06-27-2008 01:22 PM

If you don't mind sitting on them I'll probably take a few in about a year. No promises though, but...

Fred.

m2cupcar 06-27-2008 01:43 PM

btw
 
My can has no "stuffing". Just relies on the right angles to send the vapor down and let it condense the walls. Well. I popped the hood to screw with my tps and got a good view of vapor coming through my filter. It looked like a little chimney - so stick something in the can if/when you build it.

m2cupcar 07-08-2008 03:17 PM

Abe should we give up on the group buy?
