Look up 73draggy on YouTube. He built his VR38 engine from a rejected/recalled long block. It's pretty neat with his attention to detail... almost OCD! I'd like to slowly build something like this on the side one day. It won't be anything too crazy - maybe a Stage 1 which can handle 600 whp or so.

Infidel, I feel so bad for you bro. You've had such a run of bad luck, but I would suggest/implore you to calm down and maybe just take a couple of days to cool off from the latest setback. I can...

This is really getting out of hand and creating a lot of drama over something we know nothing about. I like how people bash or accuse a shop with out considering the facts. We did run into some...

I'm sure Sam can get you out a new longblock right away....

People install these kits left and right with no mechanical experience, and these guys can't? What are we paying for ? If shop rate is around 100 bucks an hour you better know what you're doing. And...

Plus, the dead motor wasn't the first fuckup he made. He fumbled his way through the entire install. People install that kit in their garage no problems but homie can't manage it with a shop? If...

wow how many engines does this make for VSR/sr w\e? didn't the first few cars with their kits all blow up too? edit: ^ beat me to it

Were you running any kind of gauges for monitoring? I am curious to see what AFR you were running I am wondering if they dumped a crap load of timing in it to try and compensate for the missing...

Sorry to hear. I hope you and Bobby can work something out to get your car back running with a built motor.

"1 in 100" is complete ********, especially at your power levels. no doubt theres plenty of signs of detonation. start by pulling all the plugs

There is some light at the end of the tunnel for me, there is a company here in Aus now that have developed a bolt on twin turbo kit, going to cost more $$ but it's only other real option (about...

When you go you should act like you don't know what's going on and found them in you tube. See what they tell you about the kit. I wouldn't be surprised if they told you a different story Sent...

Any NA car is going to be fine with a walbro 255 and 600's. I am running 533whp on a 340 and 1000cc injectors. However Walbro 255 = $75 Install kit = $75 600cc's = $500 Uprev = $500 Tune=...

I'm not so sure! Maybe I'll paint it black ... But somehow the metallic, functional aluminum looks good too? I do not know yet ... Here is a closer view: ...

Why don't some of the local guys drive over to GTM and see what's up? Take pics and what not. I sure would do that if they were within a 2hr driving distance.
