[B]Titanium can be ground fairly easily with the right grinding media. I use titanium as the liners in the custom knives I make. The dust is very bad for your lungs though. I wear a respirator whenever I grind it.

 

KEY KEY..I'll absolutely take one. forget sourcing the fricking chips, if we can't all cut our keys apart to get the stock one.....
(I'm just saying, don't let that stand in your way).
Where to put the chip, that might be the problem.
Just have a group buy on Mugen ECU's + Titanium Key, no immobilizer.. =)

 

that statement is sorta unclear. If you use cheapo titanium yes you can grind it, if you use high grade japanese titanium, you cannot grind it easily, it takes a certain machine to grind titanium.
cutting titanium is not fairly easy.

 

When all is done. I'm in for two!!

 

Ok.. can you offer the key with out the immobilizer?? I planned on disabling it anyways with and autostart feature so, how about it?

yayayaya... i dont care about the immobilizer either...

Actually, it is not made of tinanium at all. It is made of nickel and some other matals. I don't recall exactly.

 

If you can incorporate the immobilizer, count me in!

 

i'll be in for two. but are they going to say s2k or s2000?

 

I guess if you consider $60.00 a square foot "cheapo" then yes it is cheap. I use 6AL4V which is commonly used in the aircraft industry. It is wear resistant and durable stuff. And as I said previously it can be worked with HSS cutters. I grind it with ceramic and silicon carbide medias.


6AL4V is composed of the following elements:

Weight % Ti-bal C-0.08 Fe-0.05 N-0.05 Al-5.5/6.75 O-0.20 V-3.5/4.5

I'm curious what the composition of the Japanese stuff is and what makes it superior.
