I'm not talking power. Just boost. Yes phunk is making like 680whp on a stock block, but he is only on 12psi.

There is only one way to find out!

When do expect them to be finished and you on the dyno?

JWillis72 · 10-07-2015, 06:04 AM

At this point the question is what year! I have no clue but I hope it's in November.

The beauty of performance shop speed. They build fast things, just not fast.

Yup, I was quoted 3 weeks on my engine build. Took them over 4 months. The ENTIRE summer.

And it sure isn't local or just one shop. They are ALL that way. Probably why I only farm out the jobs I'm not capable of handling myself, like tuning and welding.

Who built it? IPP quoted me 5-6 weeks but I don't want it to turn into something like that.

A local shop did. I told them I was going to go with IPP and it was a 6 week lead time and they said they would do it in half that. I took the bait. Then was gill gutted. Plus I had to source all my own parts. Getting the bearings was a nightmare. I don't even want to go into that whole story.

GO WITH IPP!!!

If I ever do this again it would def. be a shop that does just that for a living. Plus they have been doing it for over 20 years. They know their VQ engines.

IPP built my motor ... Kyle Puckett is most knowledgeable and very pleasant to work with...a very good communicator.
He's the former world record holder in the 1/4 mile with his 300zx
1993 Nissan 300ZX Turbo - VG30DETT Engine - Turbo & High-Tech Performance Magazine
Still waiting to finish up the build [waiting mostly on the brakes and twin fuel pumps] >>> and then on to Dyno Day !!!

I remember Kyle back when I had my Twin Turbo 300zx purchased many parts from him.

So that's were you been hiding LOL.

Agree Kyle is "good" people I've spoken to him a few times and the transaction I had was seemless. I have a plan in a year or two for my car but we'll see.

Him, Built 4.2 NA motor, something like that
