the kit sure does matter. 8psi on a 60-1 is FAR different from 7-8psi on a goddamn T70 man.

I never specified a "sponsor". My point was misconcieved by many of you. My point was that if there was any company which is interested in recieving some business at both our benefit to contact me. For example, Altered Atmosphere has contacted me.

By no means do I think that I am different than any other person here who has blown a motor. however, I know that there are many companies that are willing to help out with build ups. Point plain and simple.

Man... people here have sorta become dicks... Anyhow,

Quamen, have you decided with what kind of rebuild to go with? Also what failed? A rod? Were you streeting the car when it blew or did it blow up under dyno testing? Just curious on some details. Pity that a stupid mistake blew a custom job, would have been fun to see what a unique piece could do

I am doing research as to what I am going to do right now. So far I have decided on a Brand new block, Nismo Low Temp Thermostat, Greddy Twin Turbo, Eagle ESP H-Beam Rods, Simple head work (probably just have Sharif clean the passeges), ARP main and Head studs. Not sure about exhaust, intake manifold (looking at CJM), pistons (JE or Arias), head gasket (cosworth or cometic) and a few other things. To be honest the hardest problem right now is going to be the builder. Right now I am having GRD quote my engine. However, I am still going to do more research on different companies across the US. At this point I will make any drive to make sure that this gets done right and to exacting specifications.
