I am not the one who deleted anyones thread and no one cried to me. Maybe I misunderstood, what is the BS comment you are referring to? This is EVO's thread and it appears to me someone started product bashing in their thread. Correct me if I am wrong.

 

If you want to ban me for a factual comment, feel free. I will directly answer your questions:

I have only been working with tuners for the past 7 years building fast street/drag cars. As it relates to two shops (my own in the Supra world and one who is not on here), they have never had any major problems. I would estimate they have built probably 40 motors over the past 7 years that I have worked with them. Angry customers....I'm sure they have had some over something. But over motor issues/broken builds, no.

 

It was deleted, either directly by Todd (not sure if sponsors can do that or if he requested it).

I apologize for continuing off topic comments on this thread. I was only responding to a comment made by Todd (which he only quoted part of and deleted the rest.)

I was not product bashing.

 

I read your last sentence to mean you really aren't sure or don't know for sure. Knowing all the facts is very important. I personally can attest to my own failures. They happen when dealing with high hp products.

To come in and rain on a sponsors thread about their new build is not a class act. If I understood correctly EVO invited you to discuss certain item in another thread. This is what should have been done. What is happening now is only destroying a very good thread that many have an interest in.

As for relating IB to a money grabbing sponsor backer, that is a bit of a stretch. They are providing a platform that many of us enjoy at no cost to any of us other than sponsors. You really own IB an apology.

 

I appreciate the apology.

No sponsor can delete. Managers and Administrators yes. Your post was deleted by a moderator.

I thank you for your understanding of not provoking another sponsor in their own thread. I have re read and EVO appears to have been lashing back at an insult in their own thread. I believe you understand how this was started with a predictable outcome.

I thank you for your cooperation and hope this informative thread will continue.

 

m42racer,

I am not sure who you are directing your post to but but to answer your question directly, we are showing the build process of this engine project - as the title of our thread clearly states. It shows the process as well as the attention to the details that we take when building one of these engines. It also shows all of the components that we have engineered, developed and tested 100% in house.



These items include:

• EVOMS 3.8L conversion (Pistons, Steel Liners, Ring Package)
• EVOMS 12mm head stud conversion
• EVOMS CNC ported cylinder heads w/ titanium larger intake and wxhaust valves and associated titanium valve train components
• EVOMS Reprofiled camshafts
• EVOMS Head Gaskets
• EVOMS Developed Head TQ procedure, cam timing and engine clearance specifications, case prep / strengthening.

Other EVOMS items include: billet crankshaft, 3.9L, 4.0L and 4.1L conversions, replacement OEM 100mm pistons, lightweight intermediate shaft, main/rod/intermediate shaft bearings, 10mm head studs, solid lifter conversion, etc, etc.


You are correct, there are very few that actually engineer and build engines like this. We are not trying to make 1000 HP, 900 HP is the goal for this project and making it last will not be a problem.

We are not bragging, we are just demonstrating the build process of this engine and all of the work involved to fellow enthusists.

 

Thank you Ben!

 

Thank you Chad for keeping things fair and getting things back on track. I am excited for you and KA's progress. I would like to bring the 997TT to the event you are planning. It does not have an engine right now but it will and hopefilly in time for this

 

That is what I'm afraid of ...... the other day I asked joe if it would be alright if I could be his wingman.

 

You have nothing to worry about. This should be more of a "test and tune" fun event

 

glad to see this get back on topic..thanks gents...I'll only interupt briefly...for those that are curios why David dk996tt was banned you can private message me and I'll explain...I respect David and don't wish to make that information public...I will say one thing...when David comes back to the forum he will be a board sponsor

 

Thanks for the professionalism Chuck! Here are a few more pictures of the build:

 

Looking nice! Can't wait for results!

 

Is there even a noticable difference with the addition 0.2 liters of displacement? Seems marginal at best.

 

Todd,

You have my curiosity up.

In the following pic:



part of the intake valve reliefs on the piston domes are not ceramic coated. Did you relieve them after they were coated or is this something new?
