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.

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. |
