Let me guess you and technosquare did all the work and now RB motoring is going to take the credit right? I hope I am wrong on this but I heard they are the PE distributer in the US. It should be your car up there considering you have donated it for 3+months. I hope I am wrong on this. It would make me mad . The good thing is that all the people on this forum know who was behind the kit and would like to thank you for keeping us posted.

spaz, no need to get mad.

the TT kit will be at SEMA @ our booth. on whose Z33 you ask? on NOBODY's. we will have it on display for the vendors to check out.

there is simply no time to have it installed in time for SEMA.

it seems that this year.. my sponsors arent willing to fork out enough money for a booth large enough to hold a car....

and besides.. no point in going if the turbo isnt on the car to display---

Is it BigBadBlackTrack? He posted on the SEMA thread that he is going to be at the Borla booth. I think he's the other one that is getting sponsored for the PE kit.

Agree with KL, that hopefully you will still get your kit. They have to come to their senses and realize that without your contribution and sacrifice (your car to prototype) their kit might have taken longer to fabricate for the US.

Congrats blacktrack hope to see your turbo at SEMA if it is installed.

Regards,
Jeff

Hey Bill-

hows the SC build up coming?

this PE TT kit should go on sale pretty much ~end of November, depending on the number of product sets they get.

the first two is due next monday, 1 for BBBT and 1 for me, then the other 3 (i think 5 kits initally) will be sent out to their respective tune shops...

truly exciting.. finally putting a close to this whole development process

Hey Cheston,

Build is going, and going, and going. The block is out by you right now, at AEBS getting sleeved and a solid deck etc.. Should get it back here by the first week of December, then finally putting the new rods, pistons etc.. back on. Should have it back BY New Years, I hope.. Would have had it back in the next week or so, but it was my decision to send it to AEBS for the sleeving and stuff, I think it's a good choice..

I'm really glad to see this kit coming along and finally into production. I'm really excited to see this. I have a few questions about it, but I'll wait or PM you them..

-Bill

Bill:

I think I can speak for many people in saying we are excited to see how your total revamp goes on your ATI. Everyone else has bolted on the ATI kit to stock internals. With you going low compression and modifying your internals as you have, it will be a completely different approach. Hopefully you will do some dyno's and post them so everyone can see what a SC VQ with low compression is capable of putting out.
