Sniv Speed Shop - Custom Parts and Design

Question on the shirt before I order one. Are they 100% cotton that will shrink or a blended material? Sometimes i'm a small, sometimes a medium if it shrinks at all or tighter fitting design

 

I'd size up it's a blend material

 

You could do that but it's not needed most of us wire into the factory items. 450pump and 750 cc injectors here for reference.

 

Like @reywcms stated it's really not needed. I had the 450 walbro wired with stock wiring, hardwired from battery and finally off a relay triggered by fuel pump module to retain rollover /accident shut off. Didn't notice an increase in pressure.

 

Says the guy with a blown up engine. I want to avoid that

I can go 81mm pulley and not replace any fueling items and just get do:

1. 81mm pulley $100
2. sniv remote tuning $300

And be far less likely to melt a piston, maybe.

 

Well my situations a bit different as my goal was to see the limits of the stock motor... and I drive my truck like I race it. We run a smaller pulley and the 340 pump and 650cc on another tundra and that by no means is it pushing its limits. My reference was in regards to the wiring upgrade not being needed but wouldn't hurt either.

 

I've installed a number of those setups and never upgraded the wiring. Usually people don't do the FPR either, though being able to crank the fuel pressure up is nice but potentially not needed.

 

Or a toasty transmission...

 

Couple new parts in today, including the 1.880" pulleys @Mdl



Luckily I still have a couple hubs left, because China Nick fucked all the hubs and made them out of aluminum instead of stainless steel:



I think it's time to find a different machine shop, when he does good work it's great, but the last three orders have had issues, either anodizing being bad, engravings on the wrong parts, and now the wrong material. The anodizing is entirely out of my control, the engraving drawings have the exact part number and revision to match to the drawing (which also shows the engravings), and now the wrong material which is listed in the drawing, listed in the initial email, and even listed IN HIS QUOTE and ends up so wrong it doesn't even work. The pulleys luckily are all fine, but these are all just scrap parts. I'm sure he'll fix it, but I'm going to look at different manufactures now since either he or someone under him is missing some details that shouldn't be that easy to miss.

 

And I’m guessing these are all prepaid orders?

 

No, if I don't have the item in stock I don't let people order it, so no one is ever waiting and I have their money.

I wish I could sell these many pulleys, your expectations of Sniv Speed Shop size is a couple orders of magnitude too high Literally if I sell more than two pulleys a month I'm stoked. All of this should last me well into next year. This entire year my total orders, including tunes, is 48 orders. 17 of those are just this month due to everyone buying shirts and stuff. Remove the August outlier, that's 31 orders over 7 months, or an average of one order a week (including tunes, which is probably half or more). So actually sending hardware out is pretty rare. This is why I say Sniv Speed Shop doesn't pay the bills, it does better than break even don't get me wrong, but total revenue for a year is in the thousands of dollars.

 

What the heck china nick! I mean it would be nice desk ornament. I'd buy one lol

 

If you want desk ornaments let me know, last week I was throwing out pulleys and hubs from previous orders that didn't meet tolerance. I felt bad throwing away hardware, but it had been on my desk for a year and was useless

 

Looks like I need to order a shirt to get some of the new desktop swag bag goodies

 

LOL yea I'll take some nice aluminum ornaments. I appreciate the work and can show local folks etc.

 

Well at least I'll get the 1.88 pulley, aluminum gauge plate to replace my arcrylic one and a shirt, L. Maybe an engine rebuild after the 1.88

 

Bummer

 

On a good note I can confirm after drive to work last night and back this morning the guage mount never wiggeld or rattled going down the road and hitting bumps! Nice tight fit

 

That's great to hear! I was concerned about that, on my very first one I built I had two additional pins that went down into the tray on the passenger side of the mount, but it was an absolute bitch to install. For this iteration I obviously removed those, and then went up to 1/8" steel to make it stiffer, with the hope that it would jam into the dash well enough and then get laterally retained with the push locks, but since I don't have a way to test drive that gauge I was going off a lot of hope!

 

Maybe I'll add a store item "free parts that don't work", hell someone might receive an entire 95mm throttle body

 

How are those TB's going? Pops was just asking me lol

 

Sometimes the good ol poke n hope works like a charm! With a little knowledge of course! And just for giggles here's a night shot from this morning when I got done with work....

 

Haven't touched them since April ish, Mike has one but we both have similar or different issues getting them to work correctly. The issue might still be the throttle blade sealing, but in some instances that's not an issue and the truck still doesn't play nice with them. They are functional, but not reliable and always throw a code (that sometimes doesn't do anything, sometimes puts the truck in limp mode). At this point I don't have a clear cut solution, which makes it difficult to put effort into them and then spend more money on more prototypes not knowing if a real fix has been implemented.

So until I get excited to work on them again, they're kind of dead in the water.

 

10-4 that!

 

The hell with the manufacturing snafu and the fact he is actually QCing his product. Is nobody going to comment on the keyboard cheese he put on display for all of is?

 

Here is the free desktop ornament, now I can avoid throwing out parts https://www.snivspeedshop.com/product/free-desktop-ornament

Except @bflooks he is no longer allowed to order anything

 

Christmas tree hangers lol

 

Boom ordered

 

I'll take a desktop ornament if my shirt hasn't gone out yet.

Going off this thread, it's probably the only medium that's been ordered lol
