Well then, that makes it even better!

That's sucks mang. Some shops are shady... Chalk Agile up as one of them.

Dang Honda-guy dat suks. I was planning on using Agile when I get an evo one day. But thinking they ain't the right kinda peeps for me now.

Honda-guy do you think if I gave Agile the specs I wanted my engine built to they could do that? Or are they just worthless?

they are mainly a subaru shop but have worked on a few evos. both my buddy and i didn't have a very good experience there.

i'm sure they could build a motor to your specs but they'll probably wont stand behind the work because it's not their specs. or come up with some other excuse why the engine failed (if it does).

why not go with a reputable shop like CBRD. they built my 2.2 and and i've ran 6 event's so far and it's running great. i'll post some info on the CBRD 2.2 later.

Dang OP, that sucks. Sorry to hear about this.

After OP's experience with them you still want to give them a chance? Good luck.

It was not just a failed motor build, it was also how they handled their customer's issues. Agile not only denied it was their fault, but they charged the customer to tell him things he already knew without informing him up front they might do that.

That's great to hear!
I hope my CBRD 2.3 lasts a long time!

Sorry to hear about the trouble. Hoping you get this corrected & put it behind you

Often wonder, when that time comes, where I should get my first built motor from?

MAP / CBRD / Buschur ?

yeah, it sucked that it happened. it will never be corrected because they dont think they did anything wrong, but i'm already over it. i just want to let people know so they can stay away from that shop.

of my track buddy didn't really have a good track record with his MAP 2.4 either. didn't last one event.

Anything Map touches and puts their "brand name on" will not last and is not a quality item. Don't waste your time. speaking from first hand experience.

For engine builds at this point; I would recommend CBRD, Buschur, or TScompusa but the choice is yours at the end of the day.

Cheapest is not always best

Great thread! Enjoyed reading and amazed at the similarities of our cars and experiences. I have a WW IX RS with 2.4, added ABS, and need a new 5th gear synchro after a recent trans rebuild, and I run in NASA TT1. Car has been amazing. Enjoyed reading and seeing your success.

I had Mr. Curt Brown to my 2.3 & head for me. Will break the motor in on a maxed out stock turbo then upgrade to a BB-BBK-B. Currently in the middle of moving but will hopefully have the car relocated & backed together/running in a couple months. Very excited about the setup.

thanks. what nasa region do you run with? i run mainly northeast and some mid-atlantic. i'll have to post some more updates of the car. new suspension setup, turbo setup and more earo.
