I have more videos of actual real world running projects than they do, and I'm just a goof off!

You might have better luck looking for show cars, I don't think they actually race - you don't see an xB at the track very often.

There is sponsoring someone else who races and then there is actually racing yourself... and it doesn't look like they do either.

I was looking to find out if there was someone on youtube who had actually bought their products and was running them even if was just on the street. But I'll keep looking as I'm curious.

The guy seemed really knowledgeable and I truly enjoyed his informative input, but someone would eventually light the fuse and bang... all that's left is a blackened crater and collatoral damage.

Art raced his xB before building my motor. He eventually got it into the 12's.

Did you ever get to see any of their motors actually running?

Viperoni · 08-07-2012, 11:07 PM

I'd love to see some dynos and vids of their stuff too... but like everybody said, there's nothing to be seen.

tooter · 08-08-2012, 01:00 AM

There's something's strange about this...

I watched all 4 of the videos and there's reference to a "500 horsepower turbo 1NZ-FE" in the video title, and all of the separate parts are shown, but it appears that no one has actually built a 500 horsepower engine out of their parts. The videos are nicely done and are an effective way to showcase the individual components for sale. But there is a lack of an actual completed running engine. Not even a customer's completed running project engine, whether or not it was "500 horsepower".

Now this may be because the company is kind of new and high end stuff doesn't sell that often, but usually when someone buys even one component product and is pleased with it, there is either a written or video record of it somewhere on the internet. Products generate all sorts of customer feedback trails which can be followed back to the merchant...

...but here, there is none.
