Workshop Update: New Products, Delays, and Exciting Projects at CPC

Product Updates:

1. Diff Hats Completed:
• We’ve completed a batch of Diff Hats, including gaskets and fittings.
• Ready for immediate dispatch, with the website updated accordingly.
• Backorders have also been sent out.
2. Intake Manifolds:
• Three billet intake manifolds heading out: RB30, 1JZ, and 2JZ.
• The RB26 manifolds have been delayed due to a redesign of our billet water pipe.

Challenges:

• RB26 Manifolds Delay:
• A redesign of the billet water pipe affected fitment.
• Waiting on materials to complete the remachining and anodising process.
• Customers will be informed about the delay.
• Missing Parts:
• Some parts went missing in freight between us and our carbon fibre supplier.
• This affects two orders; customers will be updated on the situation 

Equipment and Process Enhancements:

• Machine Upgrades:
• VM3 with 5-axis trunnion is back up and running.
• One VF2 is down but being upgraded with a 4th axis.
• Probing added to all three HASS machines for in-process quality checking via Autodesk Fusion 360.
• New 3D Printer:
• Introducing the Bamboo X1 Carbon 3D Printer for prototyping.
• First prototypes include the RB26 cam cover sets, ensuring accuracy before full production.

Current Projects:

• CSF Intake Manifolds:
• Running non-stop on the Herco machine, covering Gen 1, Gen 2 B58, and B58 Race X models.
• NRE Parts:
• One VF2 is finishing a batch of NRE parts.
• VM3 is running Lamborghini parts.
• RB26 and RB30 Manifolds:
• 10 RB26 drag manifolds are next in line.
• RB30 street version intake manifolds, our longest-running product, are also being prepared.

Future Developments:

• RB30 Rocker Covers:
• High demand product with material and time allocated for production.
• Billet Cylinder Heads:
• 2JZ billet cylinder head expected to be used for testing at the Winter Nationals and Jamboree.
• RB26 billet cylinder head prototype for Croydon Racing Development.

Exciting Collaborations:

• Shane1JZ747 Revamp:
• Supporting Shane with a new intake manifold and intercooler for his revamped car.
• 3D Printed Inconel Exhaust Manifold:
• Developing a lightweight, purpose-built manifold for an RB26 R32 GDR compound turbo.
