How many CAS kits are out there?
How many are up for sale right now?


Just curious

 

I had one, it worked well for me, i sold it tho. kind of wish i had it still to try to make it work on the Z06 im going to buy.

 

im trying to sell mine, and I think that Classic(noyzee old kit) is selling his
dont know how many made, but not too many

Mine was sold to Tim at EAD, which in turn (I think is selling it another board member). Like Noyzee, I'd like to have mine back in many ways. I sold it in a "mood".

Mine was different than the rest I beleive, as mine was designed for Tom Izzo (Speed Inc shop car) and built for larger turbos as it has a stepped down pipe (up from 2.5 to 3"). Some early ones have a different waste gate design. I dont think there are more than 6 or 7, but could be wrong. A-Dee-O also has one on his car.

 

I have one. Not for sale, though.

 

well if either of you would like to buy a new one let me know. it still has new turbo smell lol

 

Bird, my issue is I have 80 percent of my new twin rear mount kit together, and cant stop now. Im bummed that I know it will make less power and spool a lil slower. No doubt in my mind I took a step back in power.

 

get both first 30th quad turbo ta Im pretty sure

only guy on the block with one.

think of hte cool factor

lol

 

Like Jammer said, I have his old kit and but it is currently pending in a sale.

 

i think there was 5-10 kits done including 1 lt1 kit and 1-2 C5 kits.
not many tho, they where a good kit, if i didnt have my new setup i would scoop one, or if i had the extra $$$ id buy it for future toy. oh well.

 

If the CAS kits are so good how come everybody is selling them?

 

I believe Noyzee and Jammer sold them in a "mood" as Jammer said earlier I am selling mine (Noyzee's old kit) for personal reasons. It has nothing to do with the kit iteself. I don't know about the other guys. Believe me I wish I could keep mine, and may have to as no one seems to want it, so it will go in a closet for awhile. Also, I think it is just coincidence that all the CAS kits are up for sale lately. Not to mention they are all different in some way -- Jammer's old kit was the BIG kit, 69's kit is brand new, and mine is used but has had the bugs worked out of it by Noyzee when he owned it.

 

I have had alot of medical stuff come up, and I just cant be a full time student, full time job, full time radation, and do the car as well
thanks
all

 

Sounds like the CAS kits are pretty good except for the fact that the headers crack. Were exactly do they crack.. Anybody got pics? I wonder how long they last before they crack?

Im thinking about making my CAS headers out of mild steel and having them jet hot coated inside and out to keep the heat out of the metal. Stainless has a 5 to 1 expansion ratio when compared to mild steel. Only down side to mild steel is if its not coated it wont last long.

I tried to borrow classics extra header so i could take measurements off of it but he wont let me. My plan is to reproduce the CAS kit....with attention to solving the cracking header problem and get the thing into production and back on the market. Someone needs to make a twin setup and it might as well be me.

Ive been thinking about using cast iron manifolds so they last a long time. A buddy of mine at work use to make sand cast molds for a living. All i would need to do is cut the mold out on my cnc mill and give it to the local shop to have them cast. Then they would go on my mill and have the surfaces machined and holes drilled and tapped. Might also get the cost of the kit down because there would be no need to use 321 stainless. Maybe on the down pipe but thats no biggy.

My goal is to make this kit rock solid so daily driver people can enjoy it without wrenching on it every weekend.

I wish i could find somebody that has a set of manifolds off there car so i could measure them. I will trade a billet heater control/headlight **** set and a billet e brake handle (200 bucks worth) if someone will let me borrow there HOT parts for a month for measurement purposes only. I will pay shipping both ways. Come on guys help a turbo junky out. I really want to get these kits on the market so people can actually buy a new twin turbo without getting screwed from some crappy company. I run a parts business and customer service is always number 1. I have low overhead because all my machines are paid for.

What sizes of pipe are the manifolds and down pipes made from?

to bad i dont have the cash to buy one of these kits from someone. to damn poor right now.

 

i sold mine for the reason i thought it was at its power leval, wich it was not, come to find out it was an issue with the car, had i know i wouldnt have sold the kit.
that said the only issue i had was cracking headers, they seemed to crack right on the welds, everytime i took it apart it had cracks. it took a while tho, i had many miles on it at a time. Only atention the kit needs IMO is the IC needs to be sitting up streight insted of laid back, and the drivers side header needs to be adjusted for eas of plug changes. other then that it was a nice kit.
No offence to yoy, but i think you will be hard pressed to find anyone willing to send you a set of headers to borrow unless they know you well. you have a lowwer post count, and not much backround. dont take it wrong, im just saying its hard to give up parts like that to someone you have no idea about.
either way. good luck

 

you never want to coat turbo pipes on the inside, as it will blow into the turbo eventually. I dont think anyone will lend you their manifolds, as the kit is useless without them.

not saying youd do that, just too big of a risk for someone that has invested the cash already

im with^^^^ like i said, nothing against you, but you would need to find someone you know, or build up some trust. you know?

 

I'm having the CAS installed on my 2000 TA, WS6 A4 and was wondering since there will be different piping that I will or will not need my ORY pipe anymore?? Also since u guys had trouble of the headers cracking, is there anything I should tell the installers (Speed Ink) in preventing this problem??? Thanks!!

 

I don't know if I'd say that nobody wants it... I know that I would be all over one of those kits.... but with 2 awesome kits coming out really soon with header style manifolds and everything that will be selling brand new for around $4500 I'd be hard pressed to buy a used, log manifold, defunct kit for any more than $3k... which considering the fact that the CAS kits were $6500 new... I don't see anyone selling the kits for that little.

 

those kits that are 4500 were minus turbos, or there was something, you arent going to get a top of hte line kit for 5k. its just not going to happen, or if it does jump on it casue it wont last long
