I don't know what to say to all the nay sayers with their own agenda...
this is my project and I build it the way I want to.
and you build your project your way..good luck

 

I'm just trying to build my dream car. Thank you for the support

 

So far it has lasted just fine. When they have failures, its not the block, even if the block does get ruined by said failure. It's not like the GTR where they went to a billet block because they were blowing out the stock block around cylinder 5.

Its likely going to do exactly what an OEM block would have done.


I'm just trying to understand why you threw probably $20k at an unnecessary billet block and head when that money can go to other parts of the car. Or another car? Hookers? Idk...lol

 

May as well be first with a billet block and head

To offer backing to Letsgetthisdone (who is correct), We dont have block issues, we dont have head issues. The issues the car has at 1200whp are things that this wont change. We are changing the things that cause the problems; however, to cure said problems. Its overkill for 700whp but hey if you have the money have fun with it My motto anyway.

 

I make a lot of my money back from sponsors and magazine interests... it's a win win so far
thank you

 

Didn't AMS try a billet block for awhile and had nothing but issues?

 

AMS tried building a GTR block and had problems .
the elmerracing.com block I am buying is being used in the FIA world rally cross in Europe .

 

Looks nice and really shiny. Good luck on the build and keep us in the loop on the progress.

 

thank you my friend , if you're gonna buy rims, I suggest 18×10 +29 offset . I have zero issues on this setup.

I like this build and the idea of attacking weight as a means to get faster rather then focusing directly on performance. The "kosenigsegg One" has targeted 1400hp and 1,400 kilograms of weight (3,086 pounds) for a supercar that will be at the top of there market...

I think a 2500lb Evo x with 1000hp is comparable performance wise. My 2 cents... Nice build and good luck!

 

This billet block has been around for a while. Never heard of anyone purchasing it until now. Beautiful piece, but VERY expensive. Hope it works out well for you.
One question.. why RRE?

 

Hello Dross99, I went with RRE because I want to build the best handling vehicle (2 keep up with exotics ) I'm NOT interested in a drag car. RRE is the best choice . thank you , Victor Nishimoto

 

I understand the benefits of a billed block over an oem block, but the cost/benefit analysis just does not make any sense to me. If you can do 700hp on an oem block why bother? Not trying to bash the decision, just trying to see your point of view.

 

the reason why is because I want RRE to enter the car in the Optima street car challenge . I will eventually see how much horsepower I can reliably max out.
thanks

 

I can see the advantage myself. I'm guessing it will definitely bring the car closer to a 50/50 weight distribution. GL with the build sir. I'm wondering if this setup brings up issues with the exhaust MIVEC?
