Default Does anyone still sell a power ring?

I have a TNT power ring I took on trade but it won't fit my nw92 tb. So that leaves me with a couple questions.

I believe it's a 78mm ring. Could it be machined to fit the tb?
Does anyone still produce these? I searched and it appears two companies that did have closed shop.
If no one produces them anymore my question is why?

I'm running a brand x kit with the nozzle mounted in the silicone connector before the tb. At times it's been problematic. The nozzle will twist every once in a while. That's why I'm looking at using the ring. I'd make the jump to a plate but if this works I don't want to spend more money than I have to.

Drill and tap the backside of your MAF to mount the nozzle into.

I have a TNT power ring that was used with the standard LS2 TB.
Includes nozzles and plumbing...maybe even solenoids.
Send me a PM if this can solve your problem.

That works. Ive also made one out of some 4" abs pipe too. Kinda ghetto but it worked great.

Thanks guys. I'll have to pull a measurement on my tb and see if it'll work.

Found an old pic of mine. Made with home depot parts. Lol. I wasn't very good at bending lines back then, but it worked for me when I was super broke

Hey man, what ever works lol

I ended up measuring mine. The ring is 99mm id, my tb ended up being 102 od. It's pretty thick so I don't see why I couldn't have it milled. I'm going to look at all my options. I may go the maf or Home Depot route for the time being.

Thanks. It worked like a champ. Pushed a 300 hit through it for quite a while. I hard lined it cause I was worried about pulling the threads out when I hit it.

I actually still have it all lol

Did you just buy a hard line kit or something? I think doing up custom hard lines would be an awesome job and something I'd love to learn how to do. It would fit my OCD nature quite well.

I think I had a lot of it laying around at the time. I Remember ordering the hard line from n20 outlet. Wasn't extremely expensive either. I'm sure they could set you up or even a local speed shop.

It's definitely the way to go in my opinion. Way cleaner looking
