Alright guys it's finally time. 2 motors and 20 grand later I'm finally gonna go big. Took my car to humble performance after the shop here in Lawton, OK ruined it (Straight Up Performance). They are doing it big with a built motor to go with my already existing turbo kit and mods.



Mods are:

HKS Hi-Power exhaust
AEM EMS
Inline Pro gt3076r turbo kit
ACT 6-puck clutch
Turbo xs dual stage Boost Controller
Walbro 255 fuel pump
RC 750 cc injectors
Driveshaft shop Stage 2 Axles



I'll be posting any pics they take and the pics I take myself along with dynos and maybe even track times as soon as I get it all. They are located in Tulsa, OK and I was very impressed with their knowledge base and track car. We'll see how things go, and I'll keep everyone informed.

 

20k????? What did the other shop blow up a 2JZ???

Specs on the built motor?

 

Hey, let me know how they do and what the final charges are and how long it takes. They will be doing my inline pro install later this year.

GL man.

 

Might want to consider a built rear differential. Its pointless getting the axles without a beefed up differential... The differential WILL pop eventually with the kind of power you will be putting down.

Its also kind of pointless building the motor unless you get a bigger turbo / better manifold (assuming its the IP log). I think ~500rwhp is the limit on the IP log manifold and that turbo, on stock compression... Especially given the 750cc injectors.

@ spectacle - 20k = 5k supporting turbo mods, 5k inline pro kit, 3k new motor + install after i blew the last one, 3k to that other shop for messing shit up and not fixing anything, and around 7k for full build, install, tune, and a couple necessary things. I will get the exact specs as soon as everything is purchased, gotta send the money order tomorrow.

@ - AFs2k - Will do man, I'm excited so I hope things go well.

@ - jwa4378 - I would build the rear but I don't have the money right now, I'm planning on not launching or getting on it at too low of speeds until I do. I got the axles because I snapped both rear axles at the same time launching on nitrous. I'm building the motor because this one is completely gone, sleeves are raped badly. It would cost me alot of money anyways to get a complete used motor, install, HG, springs and retainers for safety etc. etc. Might as well go built IMO for the extra 2 grand. Also, they are building it for a 9:1 compression ratio.

To everyone: Isn't it safer to run ~500 whp on a built motor, as opposed to running it on a stocky with a headgasket? The main reason i'm paying the extra 2 grand is because I can't afford another motor going.

 

Congrats and good luck on the build. They are building my S2K also. It was the yellow one in the corner if you seen it in the shop!

 

That depends on your builder, and most importantly, your tuner.

IMO, I'll take a bone stock motor over one with a HG anyday of the week. They're too unreliable for my taste. I think you made a good decision building the motor, hopefully its in the hands of someone that knows what they're doing.

Also though, if you can't afford another motor going, you probably shouldn't be sinking this much money into it in the first place. Remember the golden rule - you only go as fast as your wallet can afford. Don't get in over your head.

 

The over your head part gets hairy when your motor goes, and your car isn't worth as much as the parts in it. My choice was to try and sell my car and part it out for like 9k or so, or put another 7 into it and have the car I've actually wanted throughout all this. Let's just hope things don't go wrong like they have every other time.

 

Your car is in good hands with Humble!

 

Are you counting mine as the 3? LOL, she will be there some time soon. I just want to show up with all the parts so all you guys have to do is bolt it up tune it for low and high boost and give me my baby back.

I'm sure my car will be in good hands from all gabe has told me.
