It's amazing how that happens like that. Glad you got it back! I have this strange feeling that KP will have it finished by the end of the week...

Can't wait to see this bad boy!

I'm glad you got your car back, and now hopefully the shop you take it too can do a one over and beautify the other shops install and tune it and get it back into your hands, so you can commence operation tire demolition

That's a shame they use zip ties anywhere. I would for sure get the car checked by a shop that knows what they are doing before I ever got in the throttle on the car. I hope you get everything worked out and can't wait to see what the car does.

A shop in chicago has had my 418 twin turbo build for 6 months. Good luck op.

EDFHOBBIES · 02-24-2016, 04:15 PM

Kp racing has made more head way in 24 hrs then Hp in 76 days!
The motor tested fine.. leak down and compression.. 2 bad spark wires melted from contractor fron SAM...oil lines not ran right, timer not set long enough on pump..

I like to wonder who the hell worked on my car!

That's what I like to see!!!

(And exactly what I expected...)

Why is a contractor from SAM working at the HP shop? As in a SAM student?? That stinks. I won't knock SAM, they build some amazing race cars/ engines.

EDFHOBBIES · 02-24-2016, 06:14 PM

Not sure.. said he was hired to tune the car.

Wow that is horrible, they couldnt tell that two wires where melted, man I would be at the other shop asking who worked on my vehicle and would explain everything the new shop found wrong, maybe they should be firing some one or on high $$$ builds not have contracted help work on the car, but I'm glad they are making progress any time frame for the car to be completed?

Dudes, I am a journeyman Mechanic at best and I had zero problems getting my AGP kit installed. That HP shop was not equipped to be successful in anyway. Stay far, far away in the future. Glad things are moving forward for you!

Cool AirZ28 · 02-25-2016, 02:56 PM

WOW. Glad you got your car back and heading in the right direction with your build.

EDFHOBBIES · 02-25-2016, 08:29 PM

Thanks cool air... went over to KPracing today to give them parts that hp left off from installing the AGP kit and my wate springs... HP motorsports was told by myself numerous times to clock the turbos to get the exhaust to line up.. obliviously they didn't listen at all they couldn't get the v band clamps on correct..Also a huge gap between manifold and turbos, oil feed lines laying on top exhaust side turbo housing (very Hot area)..

Got some pics to document. ..

Also they didn't know how to turn the electric pump on to run 30 sec after car shuts off. AGP had said that HP called 4 times each time a different person to ask how to make to make the timer run longer after you shut car off. . WTH!

I was told while motor was out it would all be cleaned up.. they never did .. today at kp it was all nice n clean!

Only thing I'm sweating is that it may have a rear main seal leak.. kp is hoping that larger lines on the MM catch can will solve this and maybe a breather. If not then I will be getting money back!

I want to thank AGP for all the help so far helping KP straighten the mess hp left for them. They have been great answer my questions when HP complained. .helping kp.. with everything before and after the sale..

How many hours did you have into it?

Unreal · 02-26-2016, 02:19 AM

Kit takes maybe 9-10 to install.

First of all everything that is being told here is only one side of the story. If you want both sides of this story I would be glad to fill everyone in on Hp's official side.
