without turning this into a rod thread, what steel rod is rated at 250hp per rod and lighter?

 

Yours should weigh 694g as per the link I posted in response to David.

My 156mm R&R ibeams weigh in at 615g and I would be happy to run them at that power too

 

Joe, did you even read my damn post bro?

Not entirely, but just the premise. The talk about their parts. Granted BS called all kinds of shops out, never showed up to the events the shops went to. Could never get their car to run right, and only ran the car at private tracks..

Oh and I guess some other difference was BS scammed a ton of people and hid under new names and bankruptcy.

The FIRST line discussing it was:

Not entirely, but just the premise. The talk about their parts.

I then said:

Granted BS called all kinds of shops out. Not ET. Boost Solutions.

-----------------------

The premise was the parts being the best, and as if they created this new thing. BS slapped a bunch of stuff on their cars to sell it, said it would run super fast and never did it.

And then you get posts like this:

(Thread title was Boost Solutions is the best)

Hi ATL guys,

I thought it is time to post a little bit more facts about our shop. What is hurting our online LOCAL image is the fact that almost none of our happy customers post their great experiences with us. Most of them just drive the cars, they are too busy for this internet fight.

Why am I posting again? Because Boost Solutions is here to help you guys ( including Manuel). Yes, I am offering our EXPERTISE free of charge to Manuel. Now, if some of you still continues to attack us, I will not respond. Tell me why i would be at fault for offering our help? We have done it before, we will do it now. Like Ryan, Mike, Mark, etc said, we have helped all of you guys.

Now, lets go over some facts :

- Boost Solutions is the largest Evo shop in GA ( if not the only one)
- Boost Solutions has created the MOST MODIFIED Evo8 in the US. Nobody else has ventured what we have done.

- Boost Solutions is one oif the best AEM EMS tuners on the east coast. We have tuned many AEM EMS systems on Evos, several Eclipses, many Supras. Also, we have extensive experience with the Autronic systems ( especially with the NON-PLUG-AND-PLAY SM2 computer). Many S-AFCs, HKS AFRs, and Greddy e-manage systems were tuned by us, and all of the cars are running great and making A LOT OF power. One of the Supras that we tuned, was competing at the Texas Speedway in Houston at the TX2004 National Supra Event, and was one of the first running cars there ( roadcourse).

- We do a LOT OF COMPLETE TUNING, not only fine tuning a piggyback computer to the factory ECU. That is a lot harder and time consuming.

- we work constantly with high horsepower Toyota Supras, Nissan 300ZX, Nissan 350z, Mitsubishi EVos and Eclipses.

- our knowledge is highly appreciated in the 300zx, Supra, and EVo communities.
We have had phone calls from Norris Design, and several other tuning shops in Europe. We are working closely with a shop in Japan as well.

- we are one of teh biggest internet sellers of EVo parts.

- we have been rebuilding engines for a long time. Many fully built 300zxs have been done at our shop. We are also one of the US shops that ventured in putting a stroker kit on the Evo.

- we have been building custom fuel sytems for all these cars as well. And we are talking about complete fuel system solutions, not Walbro pumps and direct replacemnent injectors.

- we are starting to offer rollcages in several weeks as well, we have added a full manufacturing section to our shop , for manifolds, custom exhausts, rollcages, etc.

- We are one the companies that has offered non-turbo to twinturbo swaps for the longest on the 300zx market. We still do alot of them, along with the SR20 swaps.

- We are building several Evos with HKS 3240 turbos, and one with a HKS T04Z turbo. A friend of mine emailed me that their HKS t04Z car in FULL STREET trim ran 10 sec flat. That is kinda fast IMO.

- one of our goals is, from now on, every car that comes in here to leave with a dyno chart!!!

Now, more on the silverevo8 car!!!
- looks like the car actually did REALLY well up to 5400rpms. That is why I asked for the overlays, and they show it. The topend for some reason is really rich. I will not go into details again, I will do just one thing. Offer my help again to get the AFRs where they are supposed to be. Some people will not like that, but the car has the greatest potential of all dynocharts that I saw. Even some of our "enemies" agreeed that the car will kick a** after we check why is it running that airfule on the topend.


So, my final words are: Manuel, let us know what we can do for you. Our goal is to get the car running nicely, and to make the power up to your expectation. I will say it online like i told you on teh phone: I will spend a whole day, locked doors, disconnected phones, JUST on your car for free. You can bring Ryan MCD or Mike Raza, or the best would be MYEVOVIII!!! Hey, lets not leave off Toddevo8! I will pay for the barbecue!!! They will be the witnesses! Ryan, feel free to bring a camera if you see something dancing on the floor, I am sure you would love to post it (j/k, no hard feelings)...

And if anyone can remember this far back. BS was the lovely company who swore by the HKS turbos and loved the idea of the 5" Evo exhaust.

 

i dont have the sheet anymore, but im almost positive my actual set was 665ish grams. either way, they are proven to hold up to big power, i havent seen any "proof" to the others taking the abuse the turbo tuffs deal with.

 

This is the best thread ever;-)

 

What im saying is extreme tuners never came on here "claiming" anything. People are playing it up like ET came on here saying "F you dave buschur, we do everything better then what you have been" and its not like that. All they did was show the expertise in high tech engineering in racing parts.

I guess i just dont see it like everyone else. They never claimed to have done anything no one hasnt done already, they just went about it a different way using crazy parts that they completely designed themselves, not bought off a shelf

 

While I do have alot of respect for buschur, I must say this is the video that really put me on wanting to drag race my Evo. BAd bish still gets the #1 spot, the bastard finishes very close behind being my favorite Evos of all time. Then I'l probably say Emery's Evo. No disrespect STM

 

I built, not that is matter, three engines today. Two of which had TT's in them. The one set was balanced to 629 grams and the other set was 631 grams. The third was an aluminum rod 1g engine. 615 grams for the R&R's, OK 14 grams lighter.......I've never used them. I'll take 14 grams BUT, I stated this already. I HAVE NEVER-EVER END OF STORY HAD A MANLEY TT ROD BREAK. Not ONE, not in any situation. I have not had one bend either. THAT IS WHY I USE THE ROD.

Our 2.3RPM piston is very-very light. For a true street engine build, it can't get much lighter and make me feel good to sell it and plan on it being durable. Yes, I can shorten the skirt up more like "other" pistons posted but for a street engine like our customers want I don't feel it's a good idea for longevity.

We do have something new coming, been coming for about 8 months now, should see it after the first of the year and will be exclusive to us.....don't ask because I'm not talking but will be a nice addition to what we are doing on the 2.3RPM engines.

So, is the 2.3RPM engine ideal for 10,000 rpm? No, but there are factors when you actually BUILD engines and don't just post pictures of random **** that doesn't even fit in a 4G63 that won't allow "ideal". Fact is, the 2.3RPM is very-very popular. There is more to it than the parts choice keeping them happy. Did you see how there is a special rod listed for "stroker" applications? Did you see how I mentioned that ridiculous picture of the rod in the other thread and mentioned how funny it was because it won't physically even go in a 4g63 engine?! hahaha

Oh yes, I do remember Boost Solutions! Smoke and mirrors brother!! Do you guys remember Ferroro Kid's Ferrari mechanic that needed to completely re-engineer the entire 4g63 engine? hahaha The list of people that have come and gone in the last 20+ years and the stories, I need to write a book.

 

lillev23, thank you for the respect. I hope I can complete it at some point with actually getting an 8 second pass out of my car!

 

If you would have just made a thread with evidence as to why ETs rods wouldn't fit in a 4g63 then a lot more people would have sided with you and you would have looked much better. When you make a thread talking about how "old news" 11k rpm's is and bring up yourself ever other post about engines you built, it makes it seem as if you are jealous and are trying to make yourself feel better and or bring up your self esteem. Not saying that you are but it makes it seem that way. So....Is there anyway you could provide evidence with drawings or an in depth explanation? Maybe on your site, or facebook or something. I know how strict rules are here and maybe it would be considered vendor bashing.

 

I cant wait to see what this is =)

 

Wait whats the story on Tommy? FerraroKid is the Ferrari Mechanic. you're talking about the Red Evo. The one that towards the end of being F'ed around in sponsorships from...well I won't name the company but very large Evo company, was setup as a Standing mile car?

 

I don't know what the current situation is but go back quite a few years on here and look at the "needed engineering" that wasn't being done. All that needed engineering did was made a project never actually get finished. Just someone else who popped into my head who had the best ideas............that weren't. I remember arguing with him when they said every single EVO head needed line honed so the cams would turn! haha Sheesh.

 

You are one of the guys who "don't get it". Like I said, you either get it or you don't and unfortunately it seems you don't.

This thread isn't about the rods, it's about 11,000 rpm being done for many years and for people to not be fooled into thinking otherwise.

Also it would appear as though from what I was just reading this 13,000 rpm engine is a de-stroked 1.6 liter and in his own words VERY high maintenance. Hmm, I don't know about anyone else here but I have no interest in a non-torque producing 1.6 liter engine or maintaining it, even less interest based on dyno sheets that have been posted with power falling before 8,000 rpm on engines that are suppose to turn 11,000 rpm. What is the power on one of them at 13,000? 100 whp @ 13,000 rpm?! haha
