We are in the process of doing a full build on a customers Evo X. The car will be getting the following:

-Turbotrix built 2.3L (sleeved block, custom rods/pistons, full race head, kelford cams, etc.)
-Turbotrix Evo X turbo kit with an FP T4Z.
-Turbotrix Fuel system
-Full Standalone EMS (plug and play)
-Exedy HD twin disk
-AGP FMIC
-Turbotrix 3" exhaust
-Turbotrix IC pipes
-Tial BOV
-Turbotrix bolts, Turbotrix washers, Turbotrix Oil, Turbotrix....

I will update this thread with pics as we go. Here is a pic from a few weeks ago of the motor getting machined for the Darton sleeves:

Sounds like a beast in the making.

On a side note...I've always been curious as to how much a build like this costs. Specifically for the engine sleeving and re-assembly. Can you throw out a ballpark?

Sleeving the Evo X block is $1350 that includes the sleeves. That is the price if you give us just a bare block. Typical full motor builds can range anywhere from $4000-6000 depending on how crazy you go with the head, cams, porting, etc.

subscribed, funny to see the other big vendors on here (not to be mentioned...cough bus) that can only mess with the old stuff, but the people that are really bad *** can build up on brand new tehchnology and make it better.

turbotrix is the ish!
