so, he worked for Aeroquip then?

I've seen this dude over at Scikotics. WOW, what away to end.

it took a bit to read, but this is one of the best builds i've seen. I do not belive there has been anything left undone. Very clean. Would enjoy to talk to this guy or someone who has any knowledge of this motor.

If the OP has been banned i guess thats the end of the story here..
Curious as to why he got banned

[PETERPOOP]

People like him get banned right away these days. But tamango has been somehow avoiding it for years. Strange system.

[Shifty Eyes]

Thats too bad. after going back looks as if alot of it was provoked. The sites over here are not so thin skinned. You can say what you want. It's like a radio station you don't have to listen just change the channel if you dont like what you hear. None the less this ride is was cool. Any idea if he belongs to another forum?

^ I've seen him on scionlife.com

[xnamerxx]

Its not about being thin skinned. He was spewing garbage and giving no tech to people who asked for it. He couldn't take any criticism about his ride at all and would lash out at anyone who did.
If I was looking for info on a 1nz-fe and all I came across was a guy who has a cool ride but is unwilling to answer any questions thats not helping me do what I need to do. This is a forum not a blog.

Thanks Blue-Vitz, found him. Also Pterpoop You seem cool too. Xnamerx you seem disgruntled. Perhaps you just came off wrong to him. either way, it's just a forum..you can choose to not respond to someone or just move on.

I posted some pics about a week ago in the photo section if you all care to look.

Also looking at his posts at Scionlife, he seems very helpful and well established. I'll try my luck

[johnny_vitz]

I think he was on clubxb.com too ...
He's got a site, found a link on scionlife

Went to his site, lots of info. Thanks

That is one cool intake manifold he has with that 70mm throttle body and direct nitrous. Never seen a nitrous kit that had progressive control. Anybody here ever use that system. NX semems to be popular in the states. Courious how he has all this working so well.

I spoke with Aras many times on the phone. He always seemed to be willing to talk. I stopped following his thread and progress however when after he had issues with his Gude head he backed out of selling me his other head. The way he handled it was not courteous in my mind. He didn't relate information about the situation until investments were made and then attempted to sell me the Gude head that wasn't built right to me at a "cheaper" price, but it would required substantial investment to fix. This right here was the icing on the cake for me unfortunately.

[Be Spoken]

I think since the Gude situation from what I gather he poured out alot of cash to fully document a serious new race head with the help of Jun Performance and Tom Fujita at Port Flow Designes.

Belive he even went as far as to have the cam gears made from titanium as well. it's a seriously bad-ass looking head.

I don't think anyone has ever done a head like that one. I belive he sells them now too!
