None of those boxes contain cat related items or candy with said meth tank. Pass.

Gen 1 not feeling the love

Ill be the first one to buy one of these used when someone decides they dont want.

I want something like this with the fill neck, no paint, and only 2 fittings 1/2 NPT one top one bottom so I can use it as a air to water intercooler tank. I just want plain aluminum.
@HTP; do you have any beta units or incomplete or failures or something that can be made like this cheap ? I dont want all the finishes.

For use of an expansion tank? Should be no problem. Our CTSV expansion tank is the same as the Speed but with different mounting brackets and a Jabsco pump flange.

Link? I have a bosch cobra water pump so I am not sure about what mounting solution to use.

how affordable can you make it without any finish or anything, my water core has no coating on it either nor the radiator so I see no need to coat the tank. I know its nice, but I need to save cost.

I was going to have one fabbed locally, but if you got something we can work out thats close to the cost then I wont take my car to the shop.

Depending on the capacity of the expansion tank I was even going to go for a second tank on opposite side, but one should be enough. I also though about putting an ice box in the passenger floor board but I already claimed the entire trunk for meth, audio, and battery.

My system barely seems to hold a gallon and I think it heat soaks fast. I would like to add like 3 gal to it, but of course fitment is always a bitch on this car. I have a good spal fan on the heat exchange and the bosch pump with this kit:

Water to Air Intercooler

So im only using the core and heat exchange and hoses everything else i upgraded.

So if you can lead some advice on this, then also i have 2.5" IC pipe feeding the 3" core inlet with 3" out going to stock TB which is smaller than the outlet. Should I reduce the outlet with some sort of weld on aluminum to restrict flow and slow it down? I get boost creep with the new air to water as it steadily climbs from 25 to 26.3+ boost till redline and never stops. I did not have this issue with my CPE Fmic, but now i got like 14 inches of intercooler piping opposed to several feet so I assume I lost pressure drop.

here is a picture of the setup

When are rest of us getting our shipment?

He just told me on the phone hes going on 2 week vacation and no orders will be filled during that time, so sometimes after that. their website says the same thing, shipping resumes 8/1 (FOR NORMAL ORDERS, not this item)

Makes me not feel so bad about not even having a meth kit yet.

lol put the cart before the horse much ?

Nah. I'm for sure going meth. This tank came around at a damn good price so I jumped on it.

i bought this before the meth kit as well. it's a good deal to not pass up.

Won't be shipping anymore Tanks until 8/1? Fack!

If the log jam is the anodizing shop...then this shouldnt slow delivery down too much.

Matt is on vacation however I'm here processing all stocking orders and shipping out tanks as they come back. Have no fear. -Katie

"I'll quote you on a custom tank in 2 weeks when I get back from vacation" is what I said. I didn't discuss anything else with you.

The last of the Gen 2 tanks came back from anodizing late on Friday, and Katie (Tank Girl) shipped them out Monday. The delivery driver told me they were racking up the Gen 1 tanks before he left with that delivery.

We are plenty stocked, so I'm not sure why our website would say we aren't shipping. Email me a link where it says that please.

If I am wrong than its irrelevant, sorry for confusion, but i swear I saw on the site where it said closed until 8/1, I guess its possible I had you confused with another site (did not think so but possible). Either way it does not effect me so ill back out of here.

Have a good day all!

EDIT: @Matt@HTP; I apologize, I found what I was talking about and it was JMF, not HTP. so ignore me !

What does racking up mean? Or did you mean wrapping up?

They use steel racks to dip the parts in and out of the chemical tanks when they anodize or plate metal. So they were most likely referring to the fact that they were putting the Gen1 tanks on the racks to go through the anodizing process next.

Got my tank in the mail yesterday. Looks like everything made it in one piece. Thanks.

Just wanna update this......We are 100% shipped!!!

Thank you to everyone who purchased a tank. We learned a ton during this process and it will help us bring the platform more products at a quicker and more efficient pace. We really appreciate everyone's patience throughout this and hope that the quality of the product was worth the wait.

If anyone has questions during the install please contact us directly via phone, email, etc, and we'd be happy to assist.

Thanks a lot. Was starting to give up there towards the end. Can't wait to get back to my apartment and install mine

Wish i would have seen this sooner. Please, please tell me another batch of these sweet tanks are going to be made???:naughty:

Mine might be for sale here soon. The tank is beautiful, but I might be going a different direction with my setup.

Another batch is in the works! As of right now they will be exactly the same as the previous batch. Anyone have feedback that got in on the last run???

- Matt

That fill port you made worked out well...with a little help from a bracket. Dunno if anyone else would be interested in something similar but I can share if you would like.

Maybe add a 5th support for the pump? Think tab front and back to zip tie through in the event the 4 bolts back out.

More cat stickers.

+1 on cat stickers

And I didn't have any problem with fill port.

Just hope it doesn't take 3 years this time around. I'd be a proud owner!

Did you have problems with the pump studs backing out? We'll include loctite on this batch.

Damn, I still have a care package here for you. Address still the same?

JSmith had a custom fill neck since he had a something in the way. He was the only one with this option.

Well let's not lump concept time into that. lol We've had almost no feedback on these which was very discouraging. We already started the next batch and so far the only change i'm implementing is a slight change to the low level indication.

You guys heard the man. Give some feed back if you have one installed. My only concern is the kozmic vented occ I have may be in the way. Anyone have some good pics of this tank installed?

My address has changed. I'll PM you.

As far as the tank goes, everything fit like a glove on mine and it sure as shit isn't moving anywhere with its like.. what.. 6 mounting points to the frame?

Mass produce meth tanks and underroute piping to go with the DM manifold kit and you'll have yourself a nice market chunk.

Hopefully you see my subtle suggestion.

I couldn't use the other mounting location on the frame, since i couldn't get to them.

And i had to remove some cables to make it flush to the back side of the brace.
It think it's because of my tech package that i had additional wires there.

No problems with the studs backing out, but I haven't checked them in the ~6 months installed.

Did you happen to take pictures of the interference? The tanks were mocked up on cars that had Tech Packages.

Thanks!

Interesting that loctite on the pump studs was mentioned...I took one look at the tank as-received and immediately loctited my studs to the tank...had zero issues with anything backing off as a result.

Mine fit perfectly and I never had any issues with it. That is why you didn't hear from me. In my opinion nothing about the design needs to be changed. I was able to resell the tank for more than I bought it for originally.

I'd be interested in a gen 2 version

When is the next genpu order starting?

Any update on when this will be available? Wife wants to steal the money I set aside for this on new kitchen backsplash.

Is this still going to happen? How much longer?

@Matt@HTP; is too busy making me a coolant reservoir tank for an LSA.
