Projects The hopeful beginning of it all (starting a speed equipment brand and land speed racing)

Just ran out to the foundry yesterday!

 

Really neat stuff here. Keep move'n forward, & stay on track. Keep your eyes on the prize & don't look back.

 

Got these 4 carb 4-71 supercharger tops machined up and on the website! I made a slight miscalculation on inside blend between the supercharger and the top, so I knocked $75 off the price for this first batch. Of course they're still totally functional, and the little mismatch can't be detected from the exterior. Really excited about how these turned out!

I just got the first prototype of our McCulloch charge pipe in from the foundry! Everything lines up nicely, and I'm pretty proud with how it turned out.

 

How can this thing not be a hit? It looks awesome!

 

That is frickin fantastic! Great piece.

 

Oh hell yeah! Nice work.

 

Our latching gas caps are back in stock!

In the past all of the patterns that ive made to create the sand molds for casting parts have been 3d printed out of plastic. This has worked great up to this point, however the next product that we are making has some geometry that made me take a different route this time around. The walls of this new air cleaner we are making are thin, so a 3d printed pattern would not be rigid enough to handle the forces of compacting sand around it in the mold building process, so instead of using our typical 3d printed pattern on a plywood matchplate, i am carving a few billet aluminum patterns on my cnc that will then be fastened to an aluminum matchplate. Here is the pattern for the top piece of the air cleaner assembly after its first machine operation. Now i have to flip it over and hollow out the back side. This is much more labor intensive than 3d printing a pattern, but it will pay off in the end. This pattern will also have a much longer life time than a plastic patter. I will post more photos as progress continues.

 

What does it do?

 

Man your stuff looks amazing!! Keep up the great work!!

question…..any chance you will be doing another run of your throttle pedals anytime soon?

 

Seriously impressive!
You are Nailing on every account Brother.. $
Are the non finned fuel cap's available?

 

Thanks,
Yes they are. You can find them at https://nystromperformance.com/coll...y-of-finned-top-lemans-style-gas-cap-polished
There is a box to select between smooth or finned

 

Thanks
Currently unsure if I will be restocking gas pedals. If I do, it won't be soon.

 

Well, crap….lol

 

Update:
We just completed our pattern for our new air cleaners. These will be sized for stromberg 97s and holley 94s. The pattern was machined out of aluminum instead of our typical 3d printed patterns due to how the part is bowl shaped and the plate that the pattern is built in had to be cut through to get the deep pocket required. It turned out very well considering its our first billet pattern!

These air cleaners are inspired by the old dual carb Tattersfeild air cleaners, but are made smaller to fit each carb individually.


We also received our first small batch of McCulloch vs57 charge pipes, and will be getting sold soon. Unfortunately the first batch is already accounted for.

 

It is surely nice to see that someone is taking the time, effort, and money, to produce quality products here in the USA. Keep up the good work.

 

My McCulloch vs57 supercharger as missing the badge, so I decided to re-pop them since I can't find anyone else doing it. I will be determining how many to make based off of how many people say they need them. If you want one, shoot me a DM or comment. These are aluminum with a blasted finish, and were reverse engineered from an original. They will be about $110 a pop.

 

Got a photo from the foundry yesterday of progress on the air cleaners!

 

We got castings in from the foundry!

Whaaaat! Nice. I'm an entrepreneur - 2nd gen. It gets hardwired into you. No pension plan but, you eat what you kill and truly if you ever go to bed not thinking about the next thing, you just realized you are dead. Go dude go.

 

Just wrapping up the machining of our new air cleaners!

 

Those look great, especially polished and with the perforated metal!

 

Our air cleaners are now available on our website https://nystromperformance.com/collections/automotive-parts/products/air-cleaner

 

Made a little video performing a flow test on our new air cleaners, and comparing the to some others we had laying around.
Watch it at

 

Kind of a loaded test with such big differences on the surface areas and the restrictions of the air filters.
