[Build Thread] -- Journey to 700+ WHP [Supercharger]

cupcakez · 05-08-2018, 06:06 PM

Welp folks.
I'm already 6 feet deep in with IPP, I can only hope for the best.
They are already starting to work on the assembly and machine work since this past Monday (Yesterday).

He said it would all be done within 2 weeks time (By May 21st) I would assume, but hopefully it would be done by Friday, May 18 and then shipped out that weekend.

His IPP name and reputation is on the line with this engine just as it is with any other engine he ships out and builds.
But at the same time, I told him that I have a lot of people following my build (Thank you everyone!) and if it turns out well, and no issues -- then that can only look good for him.

So hopefully he takes very good care of the engine during the building, shipping and machining process -- and that no issues arise!

I will definitely post videos and pictures of the engine before it goes in, after, and when it's running, etc.

Stay posted people!!
It will either be a healthy monster of an engine, or an unhealthy exploding engine...haha.

Remember, the core used for this was:
- RJM Closed Deck Short Bare Block
- Added VQ37HR Crank
- Clean set of heads by RJM

I chose closed deck because Kyle's shop does not build their engines closed -- only open. As soon as I learned that, I resorted to finding a closed deck ASAP and RJM was my solution.
I didn't want blown head gaskets at 700 rwhp with the open block like a lot of others have warned me about so I decided...closed.

Thanks everyone!

Wish me luck!
