I can vouch for Kyle. He is an upstanding person to deal with and builds great motors.

 

The stage 1 block is sooo tempting... Damnit nooooo y did I go FI.... im gonna be so broke after this is all said n done...

 

Once i hit a 100,000 miles im gonna get his stage 1 and up the boost a little.

 

Outstanding person!! I have a sleeved longblock/APS twin turbo with 1500 miles on it....

 

bump!
just wondering how those ipp motors are holding up so far.
im planing on getting a stage1 longblock from them soon

 

i've had mine for about 1.5 years, and 5,000 miles. so far so good. the motor has gone through 2 different turbo kits and multiple tuning sessions with no problems. currently on aps tt 485whp tune from dynosty.

 

Mine spun a bearing. I'm not sure what was the cause, I can't blame Kyle since I blow 3 other VQ's.

A lot of the members in the 300ZX & 350Z world use his engines and they can't be happier about them.

Kyle is one of the best vendors (and maybe the best) in this forum to deal with.


Kudos to Kyle

 

Yea midz350 I was following your blown motor thread,that sucks.

 

^ Which one?

 

"I'm done with this ****" lol I guess that was the last time you went FI(?)

 

I got rid of everything FI related. I will receive the money today, hopefully.

Just for fun.

 

Wow.that's all I got to say

 

is the price listed, 2600 with or without sending your core for stage 1 short block?

 

With usable core.

 

If you send your engine in first and it is buildable, no core charge is needed. Also, we absolutely stand by our work. We warranty all our builds for a year against any kind of machining or assembly defects.

 

^ but it is very difficult to prove there were machining or assembly defects after a motor fails and there is resultant catastrophic damage. Not faulting you, just pointing out the way it is. The only kind of warranty that is any good is one against any kind of motor failure for whatever reason for a limited time. I would pay extra for a warranty like that, particularly if you guaranteed leakdown #s after the break in tune, etc. I'm not sure if that's a viable option, given other possible failure points (e.g. bad tune resulting in motor damage), etc...

 

Problem is that we have had people send in warranty claims on engines where we were not at fault whatsoever. Bearings starved of oil, clear signs of detonation on pistons and bearings etc. Usually the internals will tell the story.

No one is going to warranty a build that was destroyed due to installation error, poor break in or a bad tune.

Hell, I had one 300zx customer straight up tell me that he went and made 30psi highway pulls on his brand new engine with an outdated tune from a completely different turbo and injector setup, no way that's coming out of our pocket, haha.
