Hey Jeff,

Was your Blower ported by Apten or through Apten by Embree.

Hey Chikin1,

What's up

 

Please refrain from marketing your products or services on F150Online. We have a loyal group of Supporting vendors that pay for that priveledge and in the process help keep the lights on here.

Not sure who exactly did the work only Brian would know that I guess.... I don't think I was one of the first five...All I know is my L is making more boost than before..

 

Why pay Apten more, when you can get it cheaper here and I got it back in a timely manner.

All I can say was, the machine work done on my blower was excellent.

It's up to you guys where you go, call Paul and find out for yourself.

 

Are you a paid spokesman for Embree?

 

Guess blower porting wars is going to be added to the list now

 

Are you and "JeffsLightning" paid spokesmen for Brian at Apten

 

I'm not a spokesman...I just spend my $$$ on what has proven itself to work. I didn't start an intentional post on how great Apten or any other company is and then revive it from the dead as this one was. Get your facts straight...

 

Well Apten has my money, now I just have to get around to removing it and sending it in.

 

so let me get this straight.
you want me to save $100 for some machinist at a machine shop to tear apart my Eaton, port it and put it together within the Extremely tight tolerances, checking all the gaskets and bearings, inspecting the rotors, refilling the fluid?

A machinist is going to do this?

A you Frickin' NUTZ!

I know a lot of machinists and there is no way in hell I would let them work on parts that go on my vehicles!

Save your $100 DL and go with Embree,
I'll sleep sound at night knowing APTEN (A PROFESSIONAL and PROVEN company) did my eaton.

Apten placed dyno charts, before and after (same day real tests).

Where is EMBREE"s dyno charts?
Does Embree Tune chips? NO they are a machine shop.

just becuase you save a measly $100 you want a machine shop working on your Eaton...


It is only $100 for god's sake, hell I'd spend an extra $250 if I knew it was done correctly, the bearings, seals and rotors are perfectly placed.
the peace of mind alone is worth the money, knowing it is done right.

 

AAAAAAAAAAAAA--------------MEN

 

If you want to call dyno and track proven gains being a paid spokesman I'M IT! ..

 

I would like the THANK Apten Tech for providing some additional insight into who was porting the Eaton blowers and why.

If Doug could pull his head out of the cash register long enough to understand that doing the CUSTOMER a favor is not bad business he would not have made his ill advised post. In this case the customer is all of us on this board who try and learn about their trucks and make INFORMED purchasing decisions.


It seems to me that DL posted the following facts:

1. Embree did the porting for Apten.

2. Going direct to the source would save you money. Port job @ Embree $400.00.

3. There would be no GP required if one went to Embree direct.


Apten Tech responded with :

1. Embree does not do the porting for Apten.

2. There is now a $100.00 discount available at Apten.

3. The GP minimum has been met at Apten.


It seems to me that Apten Techs post was one of clarification rather than an illegal advertisement on this Board.


Doug I run my own buisiness too. I run it to benefit my customers
and they know it. Our customers trust us and want to do business with us.

Based on your policy of suppression of relevant information I can't say that I can trust you to look after my best interest but rather that you will do your best to steer me into supporting vendors products at all cost, mostly my own. Thanks for your added value Doug!

 

I don't know which blower is better, but let me see if I understand your logic. You wouldn't let a MACHINIST assemble/disassemble your blower, but you'd let a MACHINIST do ALL of the porting/assembly of cylinder heads, ALL the machining of the block and rotating assembly, then assemble them into a properly functioning, high horsepower engine? Who do you think does all the MACHINING and critical assembly of an engine, a MACHINIST or the tooth ferry? All the MACHINISTS I know build things like top fuel, pro stock, pro 5.0 and NASCAR Nextel cup engines...maybe its just me but the MACHINIST is the only person I'd want touching my blower. When you do a built engine, will you trust all those critical dimensions to a MACHINIST, or do you plan on doing it all at home with a Dremel and Dewalt drill? Good luck with your built motor project.

 

I think this thread brings out the paycheck mechanics again. Guys, listen ITS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE! I'm a machinest, i have a lightning, i really dont get what the one guy was saying about trusting machinest...Who do you think is doing the work, some idiot off the street. I may not fit the typical "machinest" profile, but machinests are what makes your world go round. I make my own pulleys, ported my own blower, sell and install parts i make everyday. Where are these gaskets your talking about? there was none inside of my blower. The eaton blower is the simplest design that you could imagine, or (couldn't imagine). All the "tight" tolerances and that other gibberish your reading is just to make it seem hard, so you wont feel bad about spending your money. The rotor assembly comes out in one piece. Theres nothing to line back up, or anything of that nature. I know this must be over some of your heads, but for the people who have an ounce of sense and can actually change there own oil without having an svt mechainic do it, please chime in and express your thoughts. I'm not putting down any company for what they do. I'm lucky i have the facilitys and knowledge to make my parts myself. My point here is, I wish everyone who doesn't have a clue of what goes into this porting deal, would not even bother expressing there negative opinions here. It really looks foolish to those of us who actually do know whats going on. Do-it-yourselfers, if you have any mechanical knowledge, the only thing you have to worry about is distorting the case. Apten did a great job, if there actually the ones who come up with this. Do a search on goggle, you'll find other ported eatons and other designs. Anybody want the apten pics, let me know, i'll send you the cobra or the lightning version. Then some of you will see i didn't get drunk with my dremel.
