Blown Motor, Engine Rebuild/Replacement.

Neo187H

I was feeling the same way when my Stillen build started to run way over what I had planned as far as time and money but it was well worth it when it was done, then felt that way AGAIN when I blew my motor due to my own idiocy.

But now going back together with a new built block it's so well worth it again, you'll get that feeling back once you get over the humps.

I'm in the same situation as you are ... I'm on "Build (Again) #2" - but this time starting off with a built motor...
Got pretty bummed when the motor blew after the 1st build, trying to eek out more performance from the Stillen kit.

The Stillen kit worked pretty good until I got that itchin' for more speed at the track.

I'm working on putting up a thread/post detailing the trials and tribulations I've had to face and overcome along the way.
It is kind of funny in a way tho'

sorry to hear all the bad news
if i could do it all over again i would not have gotten in as deep as i did
i can say stillen supercharger then vsr turbo and built motor and all the little stuff in between is 25k easy

and atm 2 little sensors are still stopping me from hitting the 600+ mark
and i keep thinking price of the car + 25k in mods = used gtr lol

The real question is would you actually receive them. If UpRev's work for your situation I recommend that route.

Don't quote me on this but if memory serves I have read that the GTM MAFs ARE the UpRev MAFs with at most rebranding on them.

Personally I bought the GTM MAFs back a while back for my Stillen kit and they have worked well.

pretty sure he means the MAF sensors, depending on the piping sizes/location they can max out at different HP levels.

Sort of thought that that was what he was referring to ... I've taken more notice and have gotten a bit more critical of information since my motor took an early retirement......
