Yes, that sounds like whats going on. The money is not there to provide the refund. I really think even if the part is the same but different brand stamped on, your paying a different price for it. I dont know, this whole engine building thing is becoming more and more sketch. I haven't been hearing anything good, and for a person looking for a engine builder, thats scary.

 

Thanks for describing my exact situation been nervous these last few months smh

 

Wow. This really sucks. Sorry to read this. Seems like over sea customers are having issues just like the kings motor built. I really want the cnc diff and transmission also. Hopefully they can do better next time with customer services.. Good luck on your refund bud.

INLINE PRO FTW!!!! I'm 100% for sure getting my motor built by them.

 

Yeah Im thinking of just going with them since they are right there by my house. I should of in the first place. Why doesn't people over seas get things from Japan, I would think it would be cheaper to do it that way.

 

i totlay agree with you , in my opinion not to bash on CNC only few shop are reputable on S2000 scene , yes there are more expensive and yes they have waiting list but its for good reason , with all the disaster of URGE , KING and now CNC you should just do big business with Inlinepro , King motorsports and 4piston , that kind of compagny are in business for long time and have experience with this , this is a shame to send a engine with other parts that been ordered by the customer , no reason no escuse to send a engine like this , CNC said : if e put the engine without opening it its should be run ! WTF is this awnser , the customer paid for a ferrari dont try to send him a lamborgini , my 2 cents

Desole pour ta mauvaise aventure avec les compagnies des etas unis , la prochaine foit appler inlinepro se son la reference

 

Not too many people can build a s2000 engine. but this is just crazy that these shops are doing this to s2000 customers. In my eyes when you order a built engine and they build you an engine with different parts I see it as a scam. Most likely they have these parts laying around and they used it for your engine in hopes that you will never fine out. SCAM!!! You send the wrong parts back and they agree to refund you some money then they don't refund you and cut off all communication. SCAM!!!!! All this stuff does not happen. This shop must be operation with very litter to no capital. I feel they are with going to either finally refund you and slowly go out of business or just all of a sudden disappear with your $$ just like a lot of out tunning shops that come and go.


This goes out to all the high performance s2000 forced induction guys.
Why the hell are we building our f20c/f22c engine for? Just for fun? what the hell is the point? the stock engines are proven to be very very reliable at over 700whp. Hell my stock f20c in my car makes over 600whp for many many years and it has 125,000 miles on it. A brand new built oem f22c short block can be has for $3000 straight from honda. Used head can be had for $500 all day and are easy as hell to rebuild. Unless your building a full out drag car and chasing 8 second 1/4 miles times theres is no point to build the f20c/f22c.

When you boost a s2000 its considered a very serious modification. If you don't have the know how or the willingness to work or learn to work on your own car/ doing your own engine swaps/ swap out your own clutch/ install your own turbo system/ DON'T BOOST YOUR CAR!!!!

 

^ Really? What about the folks that don't have the time, or the facilites, or tools to swap engines and clutches? What about the folks that have enough money they don't care if they do it themselves? Performance shops would not exist if it was only for the mechanically inclined! Not sure what your last paragraph has to do with built engines.

I agree that you don't need a built engine for moderate power. New Oem engines are getting scarce. If you can't get your hands on one then you need to have someone build you one if your motor is fried. That's what the op wanted with a few upgrades. Sounds simple enough but apparently it's getting harder to find anyone to trust to do it right.

 

They've always been responsive via email; however when I asked for a labor only quote (e.g. I'll furnish the parts) they went silent. It's been 3 weeks now and no quote yet...

On the flip side, Jason does seem to know his stuff - and very well at that. But you're only as good as your shop. If the workmanship coming out of that factory is questionable, one man's know-how means nothing.

 

Don't forget about Mission Critical Performance!!!

 

I emailed them and was told I would get a quote from there general manager. I never did. And to the person saying why some of us are building a engine. I can only speak for myself. I dropped a valve. Thus needing the block sleeved. I bought a used head that was bare that needs to have internals. I would rather not take a risk in dropping a valve again and just have the engine built rather than play that game again. I had my car tuned at 22psi to see what the max my turbo kit could put out on E85. The day after the tune, on a street tune it dropped a valve. I went with the shop the car was at and the owner tore my care apart, stole some of my parts, and after finally threatening his father I got my shells back with a few boxes of parts. You cant tell people that they should just go with a stock block when you don't know why they are doing it. Each there own.
