Update- Got tracking numbers finally as far as i can tell it has been entered into the system, they haven't been picked up yet. Which sucks. But there is nothing i can do but wait... i mean i cleaned out the garage already and put together my cosworth i dont know how people could wait so long for kits! lol. The only joy i get right now is there is little to no gravel on the ground right now and the snow has since all melted AND its like + 5 here.... so i get to drive the car still

 

congrats man. Remember "with more power comes more responsibility"

Post some pics when you get the kit.

 

Only Albertans, to remain an Alberta resident you have to study a 350Z Hayes Manual and pass a test! If you fail they ship you to Saskatchwan

 

I would offer help but with the issues I have had as of late I don't want to touch another bolt on a VQ35 for at least 3 months. However if you run into issues PM me I will try to help. I have swapped most drive train parts on my car myself as well as installed the turbo kit.

 

Gord, if this was true you would be long gone.




That's not what Dustin said.....ok ok, just messing with you. Hope your luck changes.

 

. I have several issues that I have caused myself but most are very minor issues, the used engine I bought has been my major head ache if it wouldn't have had issues my build would have been almost issue free and running along time ago. Most mistakes I made have come since the cam broke and certainly since my paitence has wore out I find i am causing myself more issues. If it was easy everyone would be building big power cars themselves

The D word thats where most issues stem from


OP sorry for the hijack...anyway I have learned alot about our cars in the last 6 months dont hesitate to PM with questions

 

I'm just messing with you. I have been following your build thread, and the amount of bad luck you have had is just crazy. I am looking at buying a short block myself, and would like to do all the work as well. Seeing the problems you have encountered makes me a bit hesitant, but I will probably still buy (new) one anyway.

 

I bought my engine when I thought XKRs used one was sold then it came availible again and i kick myself for not getting it. I would be in the 800whp club right now

But a new FP short block would be the way to go.

 

^^^sucker!
here it is. actually only the heads are XKRs as the cylinders were pretty tapered, so Sharif didnt reuse it and gave me a different core


you never had any short block issues though.

The OP should be in the 1k club easily with twin 60-1s after the install.

 

1k as in WHP?
lol i wish

I still need a built block... i have the money for it but... for some reason i didnt feel the need to shell it out till my engine goes :S

But ill defs go for a built long block when i do it...So howd you know i was going with the SFR kit.... the 60-1s t3/4s i didnt mention them

 

500whp on the stock block anything less is a waste with those turbos, might last a week might last a season. Then build a stout engine to mate the 60-1s to.

 

I would like to enjoy it for longer then a season or week before i have to put it down for the winter and postpone it with school...

But that does sound like something i would want to do...

 

Edit: Glad things worked out.
