I’m not a mechanic and I wasn’t there so what exactly caused the valves to bend I have no clue. If I had to guess he probably drove the car to his buddies garage and the motor overheated. The water pump gasket did leak and I told him not to drive the car period but it ended up in another city...

I wanted 10:1 but wasn’t sure if that was the best options for me behind relatively new to the platform still. Thoughts on a turbo? Highly considering a xona rotor because I’ve heard nothing but great things about them and heard that they are very informative on personal setups. I know you’re...

I ended up having bent valves and dings on my pistons and more. It took me awhile to gather everything up but I did end up winning in court. Dude had my car for slightly over an entire year and he basically admitted that he messed up and was too scared/not man enough to tell me the truth. Motor...

Just curious if anyone has had any luck with these rods and/or curious as to how good they are? ARP 2k rod bolts. I got them at a pretty fair price and wanna make sure that they are as good irl as they are on paper. I plan on building to 800 all wheel. paired with Manley tt extreme duty pistons...

Mechanic didn’t lock the cam gears when he cut the belt cussing the tension to pull the cams. Bent valves? He called me after cutting the belt to tell me this but now he’s saying he pulled a pulley off which caused the belt to slip. It’s bs I’m suing the guy most likely. Whats the percentage of...

Thinking either hx40 with a v band housing, fp zero, or xona with a nice manifold. I’ll update once I make the purchase

So I’m really thinking xonaim really thinking about going with the zero or a xona rather than a holset tbh and Id like to go v band. if you dont mind what xona rotor would you recommend? money isnt a issue and i think we can all agree that parts arent either. thanks again

I respect that answer haha

I got tein flex z’s, full bushing kit (energy) and would have evo brembos but I was dumb and got scammed on those haha. Already have drilled and slotted rotors but definitely still plan on doing a brembo swap. I’ve got cheap tires currently but plan on going back to neo gens or balling out and...

I was under the impression that this was a t4? I see now it’s stock mitsu flange? Still learning as you can see. With my supporting mods would you recommend balling out to get a pretty t4 manifold with a garret vs my fp ported and coated manifold with let’s say a zero?

I’ve been looking into the zero a wee bit. Is it better than the black bb with the 10cm add on? I wanted to make 600 off the bat but went with the green and said I’d be happy with 450/500 so I kinda overbuilt haha. Now I’m really shooting for 650/700+ but would be happy with 600 all wheel. Only...

I updated the post. Only e85 pumped by a walbro 450, which should be enough? I’d go with the hellcat if worth it. Kiggly beehive high rev springs. T4 fp turbo manifold.I really like fp and obviously borg, both are tied and true. But Garret and Xona have been calling my name.

Yeah, Justin said not to go with the black unless I was okay with hitting boost closer to 5500rpm. He actually rebuilt the fp green that I sold off and man let me tell ya that turbo was MINT once he was done with it. Couldn’t tell it had a single install let alone miles. Anyways I was thinking...
