Goodbye OEM internals.
well guys. Something that i have been expectin to happen finally happened.
My motor blew. It happened on the way coming from work. im not gonna get into details on how it happened. But now its time for rebuild and a 500+ whp build.
My car's gonna be parked for a couple of months.
Im gonna go do some of the work such as pullin the motor and takin it apart. I gotta find a shop to do the block build and i gotta find some forged internals first. Any suggestions on a shop in or around CT.
I'm gonna do a build thread once i buy everything.
and lastly, what do you guys recommend to buy. im new to the vq motors since im coming from a s2k so i havent done much research on these motors.

I would recommend looking at the SGP engine building services. I just got my engine and tranny back from them yesterday. It is not installed yet, of course, but I have had good experiences for the most part. Call them and ask for Thomas. www.sgpracing.com 281-444-9195

If the owner never verifies the reflash is running properly in the first place, or makes a drastic change to the setup without validating these points, then it's the owner's responsibility when he has issues.
Also, the reflashed ECU with the turbonetics kit was designed to be run on 91 octane, but also retains the ability to slightly adjust fuel based on octane and timing advanced based on knock.
