Sorry for the lag....
I expected this question and will probably get into more detail in my thread.
Bottom line is yes but it will be alot more than just the cost of the upgrade when considering a new purchase. To be honest the difference in retail price doesnt even cover my internal costs of the V2 machining ops on the CNC but I was trying to keep the price no more than $450 shipped and at this point that is where I have drawn the line in the sand.
Point is you send in a used V1 it requires me to label and keep track of it, clean it, remove the red loctite screws from the TB blade (more challenging on smaller fasteners), touch up the housing bore porting to my latest configuration, get the TB on the CNC machine for the throttle shaft milling, clean up and rebrush the blade finish and get that engraved....then put it all back together with the new hardware and set up the proper blade gap. Its actually real close to the same amount of time and effort a brand new TB requires and I have to keep track of a bunch of used TB's floating though the shop (new doesnt matter).
I haven't got a firm price for that figured out yet but it would be at least $250 plus return freight to make it a worthwhile business decision on this end. I would have to do a few and log a time study on it to see if that cost made sense and go from there.
I mean that's still an attractive number when compared to a new purchase but it also begs the question are you better off trying to sell the V1 and then buy a new V2? I guess its nice to have both options available. Guys in a rush it probably makes the most sense upgrading....guys that are more patient can simply buy new and post the V1 for sale.
Once again guys that price is subject to change but for now that will be the cost of the upgrade till I build a few and see how that goes.
Sorry for the lag responding to this.....its been a very busy week....the warm weather is coming and guys are getting their cars/engines ready for the nicer cruising weather ahead
Cheers,
Tony
