i just got the new f.a.s.t. intake in the mail today "finally"after ordering it 3 weeks ago from tbyrne ...and there is no gasket for the t.b. whats the deal im going to use the 90 mm tpis setup for the corvette ....where do i get a gasket ????you would think if you payed 860.00 for an intake they would give you a little gasket ....it didnt even have the gaskets for the intake runners i had to pull those out of my stock intake ....talk about cheap bastards....

 

Thunder Racing has the 90 tb gasket for $8.

Nothing is free including gaskets. You might want to think about getting the Fast TB, it dos`nt look that bad. It has that small 1/8 inch gap in order to have the breather line( which the TPIS dos`nt have). If you look in the PCM section there is a thread on tuning the 90 TBs and the really good tuners on this board are having lots of problems getting the TPIS 90s to idle. My FAST 90 works good no tuning issues and made 18 HP but 0 tq on a 382 all bore.

 

nothing is free including gaskets what the **** kind of statement is that i payed almost 900.00 for this intake and a 8.00 gasket doesnt come with it?????now i have to get back on the phone and order another part pay for shipping and bla bla bla bla bla........when you buy an intake from chevrolet it comes with the gaskets in it???

 

U LUZ,I would have thought the gasket would come with it for the price or at least be told you need one.

 

Mine came with the 90mm gasket for the TB. It was in the bag with the hardeware. You can on line order the gaskets from Thunder, no phone call should be needed.

 

TByrne had the intakes and TBs for 10% off in the month of March you could`ve saved some good $ . Mike Norris( Norris Motorsprts) gave me the same deal. When you buy ported heads $1500-$3000 you buy the gaskets seperate,headers $500-$800 you buy the gaskets just standard cost.

 

yes well i think that my box had been opened which thats cool but now i have to order this seal ......oh well ....t byrne gave it to me for 840.00 thats the best i could find it for three weeks ago......the reason im using the tpis t.b. is because i didnt even know that fast made one yet for the corvette ...or at least thats what mti told me ....

 

That is messed up. Does it come with the 8 gaskets to seal the ports to the heads?

 

no it doesnt i had already sold my ls6 to a local guy so im screwed again ,,,,they tell you in the instructions to pull them out of your old intake??????well then who in the hell is going to buy an intake"and not be pissed off" when thry get it without the intake runner seals???

 

Mine came with the T/B o-ring in the hardware kit too.

 

mine came with it...it was folded over and looked like 2 orange o-rings in the bag. open the bag up and you'll see one big-*** orange o-ring

 

not in mine ........oh well whats 8 bucks i guess ive had time to think about it this stuff wouldnt be fun if it wasnt a pain in the ***......its a hobby....

 

Maybe someone grabbed your gasket.

 

maybe you should be in contact with the vendor and get your $$ back.. dont take it in the rear and just complain about it.. if i was a vendor i would throw you the 8 buck gasket and probably the intake gaskets just because you were dissatisfied with the purchase.

 

if it was supposed to come with it just contact the sponsor/vendor and 99% of the time they will ship it right out to you no questions asked...as far as the intake gaskets are concerned, eh well live and learn i guess

 

As far as the intake gaskets are concerned, it's good to change them every time you pull the intake anyway. I do anyway.

 

My FAST 90mm Manifold came with a gasket. Could have left it out....call them.

 

im going to ........
