*insert homer simpson voice* mmmmm... nitrous....


my daily driver NA 300zx will have a go baby go button once I get it rebuilt later this year.

 

Well moving along, I've decide not to elaborate on the mistakes made by engine lab, everyone makes mistakes including us , How you deal with the mistake after the mistake is made, We think is more important than the mistake itself, This is what they fail to realize. At this point it doesn't matter I think it's safe to say for the most part the end user ( our customer) is happy, And that's what's important to us.

Timing done:







Alex decide to ceramic coat the headers:







New Spec clutch:





Time to drop in:







All done:





I'd Like to thank Alex for the oppurtunity to gain some valuable experience with the vq engine and for being patient throughout this whole ordeal things never seemed to go right but we remained focus and got the job done, I think we both learned alot with this build. Enjoy!!

 

final numbers?

final cost?

without "pointing fingers" what kinds of mistakes and/or lessons learned were there through the build?

 

He's currently running a flash tune based on his setup for break-in, Then will get it fine tuned on the dyno around the 1000 mile mark, So final number not in yet, We'll keep you guy's updated.

Cost= not in a position to comment on.

Lessons learned = basically the fundamentals, Always do your research, Don't expect just because a shop has a big name and plenty of references they can't make a mistake, always double check / triple check your work etc. etc.

 

I have a Kouki as my background and it has the same exact rims as those. Saw the car at QSNL, good work Justin.

 

This needs a vid of a dyno run. I love hi-comp VQs. Great work and good taste.

 

Thanks Mat... yeah will post vid
