I am going to buying or building a block here soon for my aps tt g35 and i was wondering who has purchased a block from sgp and how happy they where with the product... any info would be awesome.. like which set up you went with and whatever you think i should know.. im interested in upgraded long block number 1

thanks

 

failsafe306 is just one of many who have gotten their blocks done (or bought and done from) from SGP Racing. gman2004 also had his done by them.

 

What's the difference between a long or short block for FI applications in our cars?

 

Normally long blocks include the cylinder heads, etc and short blocks do not, just pistons, rods, crank, etc..

 

Rolling longblock = heads, block, crank, crank bearings, valves, cams, etc.
Longblock = block, heads
Shortblock = block
Rolling shortblock = block, crank, crank bearings, etc.

On any of them, you pick certain things such as cams, piston, rods, sleeves, etc.

 

I would say go for it. They've built dozens of VQ motors and they know what they're doing, and they stand behind their work.

I got the upgraded long block 3 but with Arias Extreme Duty pistons instead of the CP's.

 

you have to do the heads when you replace the short anyways so i figure going with the long is the way to go..

 

they do good work from what ive seen

 

They Stand behind thier work...thats for sure. They are re-doing my short block in a couple weeks

 

Just had my SGP upgraded long block #3 installed. Ill let ya know how it is after i put a few miles on it.

 

I have put 5K miles on my upgraded long block in about 2 months. everything done except valves and sleeves. I drove like grandma for the first 1K miles and the other 4K I have driven the car like I stole it. I am very happy with their work.

 

ok this is what i want.. i think.. one question i have is since i have the 05 with the 295 hp rated engine.. can i even get cams to work right? isnt there a variable valve exhaust thing going on? has anyone upgraded there block on the 298 hp engine? do you guys know if i will run into any problems or if there is anything i should look in to... this type of modifaction is uncharted teritory for me and im trying to learn as much as possible.. sorry im such a newb

^ thats a good question. i would assume that you wouldnt be able to get cams, since our cams have the exhaust timing on them, but i could be wrong.

 

I have an SGP longblock and it is running great.

 

I wasn't paying attention while driving last night and I went from 3rd to 2nd while go about 70 mph. Redlined to 8K rpms. this block can take some abuse! really scared the chit out of me.

 

Well I'm in the same boat now, I'm trying to decide which package to go with now.

 

Hopefully this was by choice, but I have a feeling it wasn't. Sorry to hear about your misfortune..

 

Thanks, yeah it broke.
