jus bought the stage 1 vq35de short block from Import Parts Pro.. he says it should take around 2 to 3 weeks to build.. deff excited.. it took me spinning a main bearing to finally go thru with a built bottom end.. now i can look forward to some bigger numbers..but prepaired for more things to go wrong with more hp

 

ur running the TN kit on a built motor?

 

Congrats. I am in the process of ordering the stage 1 longblock from IPP.

 

yeah thats what im using for now im obviesly not running big numbers now.. but i needed a new bottom end so why not get one prepaired for FI

 

Kyle at IPP definitely knows what he's doing I got stage 2 long block from him

 

Not to mention he's pretty good at replying with deals.... good vendor.

 

yeah hes great.. real informative i hope everything goes smooth

 

Ditch the turbonetics and go powerlab....

 

i made 530whp on a mustang dyno and 561whp DJ on stock TN kit with meth + 17psi. Plenty of room in the TN kit. with utec, im sure better tuning would supply the very last drops of hp out of that turbo.

 

I ordered my VQ35HR stage 1 short block from him and can't wait to get it here. Great guy and great vendor .

 

cause, you could sell the TN and buy a TT kit and save your self the $$$ in labor to yank the TN out and the install on the TT kit later.

 

Athensgls made this point a very long time ago, but there is still people who overlook his build because he basically did a stfu to the turbonetics haters. 16-18 psi should yield you decent 500+whp, wich would be plenty fun for a street car. Don't get sucked in into this tn on built blocks sucks nonsence. Granted it won't give you 600whp but how many powerlabs are running this much hp? Maybe 2. Enjoy what u have and don't worry about the negativity u get from the followers.

 

IPP a vendor on here? whats the name? i have a few questions for them..

there stage 1 block seems inexpensive (2600) even though there stage 2 isnt thatt much more. hmm.

does anyone have any reviews on them? =)

 

IPP is Import Parts Pro.

I purchased my first short block from IPP and was very happy with it. I also have purchased countless other parts from IPP. Kyle is a great guy to deal with. He is very responsive, very honest, and has a wealth of knowledge about our cars. He could have sold me a much more expensive short block, but guided me to the block that was right for me based on my goals at that time.

 

cool!, sounds good to me!

 

I have dealt with IPP before as well and Im pretty sure Kyle was the one I talked to good guy!!

 

I am thats one more to the list

 

im about 30min from your location; kyle at ipp was grat block took about a month to get, he is always available for questions whether it be technical or sales related. I thought it was too good to be true at the time with the price wise, but its all about EOQ, or economic's of Order Quantity, basically if you store blocks that are all done, you will have a lower lead time but your price is high, since he is basically a machine shop, the blocks are made to order. Thus virtually no holding costs.

 

yeah hes a good guy.. and as far as the low price on the block he was willin to give me mil discount on everything he has except the block packages because he is bairly profiting on them according to him.. and those prices wont be that way for long so anyone debating better jump on it soon..

 

wow very nice! where in CT r u? i am by danbury alll the time lol. there stage 1 and 2 does sound quiet nice.. but then again the FP S1 short block isnt that bad either 3600? i think... with cosworth race bearings..
