The Turbokit is out and it's sick

pushing your car in serious driving requires a bit of security tuning in mind and that's all i'm talking about. if i were to road race a 551 hp stock bottom end 4g63 i wouldn't have that kinda assurance.

Most of us guys dont rely do all that crap you listed there anyways. Just nice to have some hp for the streets!!!!
Also stop getting off topic guys, this is about the ATP turbo kit and not how strong the 4G63 is.

BTW
Vishnu has almost 30k very torturing miles on the STOCK bottom end w/ no problems at al on their shop car.
Those miles include One Lap, Car and Driver Shootout and over 4,000 dyno pulls. F.Y.I.

Yes, ask them. The motor you are referring to is another motor (built block, head, etc,.) we had built for us (for the SCC EVO orgy). It failed within days due to headgasket sealing issues. We reverted back to the orginal block (while keeping the ported head) a loong time ago and never regretted it. The only upgrades we did on the block was rod bolts and head studs. It's served us remarkably well. Compression and leakdown are still virtually perfect.

That's what i thought.
with all these laudatory things to say about this unbuilt bottom, however did that guy blow his turbo and engine, the guy from autoweek. all he was doing was autocrossing right?

You know what? You want to build you engine and waste your money go ahead and do it. You such pain for this post. You want to start you own thread about building engine go ahead. we are here about ATP. so get back on topic.
