Looking good man. Your build is coming along quickly. Any flow test numbers?

Seems machinists won't give real data, I asked and all I got was it flows like a *****! (smiling)

I wish. Yesterday my mechanic said the build would happen today. I'm waiting to hear from him

Just my mounting frustration. Still waiting. He 100% promised it would be done by Saturday and ready to install Monday AM.

Does your block not have oil squirters???

Nice, how much?

e30cabrio

Currently the block has nothing, it just came back from the machine shop.

The coolant mod parts were 19x.xx picked up.

I was not saying they were going to go in, I was saying it is sitting on the engine stand has it has for over a month empty.

The shop says the builder is expected tonight. I'll be happy when I see progress and I will post pictures as I get them/take them.

If he starts tonight I will go tomorrow and take pictures.

Bad news build is "dead"


Good news, I have all my parts.

Wtf????

I was hoping to see some nice results.

I was hoping to install today. Last week he promised it would be done and ready to go in today.

Instead I am back to square one looking for a builder.

Right now I have a bunch of parts totaling over 10k invested, I had fear they were lost which ruined my weekend. I got them back incident free but due to the scare am really hesitant to get into a situation again that causes that fear.

I need to find a shop I trust to complete and have lost faith so it will be some time before that happens as I need to find them, search diligently digging up dirt and then decide if I trust them.

Why not one of the shops from the site? Only shitty part is you have to ship the motor back and forth.

e30cabrio

Right now I am afraid of losing the parts locally, I can't imagine how I'd feel if I shipped them off.

cant you have intense build it?

i wouldnt be worried about shipping it if its a reputable place. surely there is someplace in phoenix that can do it. i know a guy that got his g35 tuned down there, cant remember the name of the place, but i bet if they dont build, they should have a good recommendation

For what it's worth, I had my spare block shipped from Speedforce Racing straight to IPP, which was then shipped to RT Tuning. The only thing I regret is wishing I saw the process to get more pictures and for my own personal knowledge.
