So far so good with me. And good customer support too. My first clutch from them had issues. Like horrible issues. Contacted them about it and they had me mail everything to them, flywheel, disk, and pressure plate. It ended up being warmed and they took care of everything and sent it all back. 0 issues since.

But like everything out there. You will hear horror stories about them, such as bad products or shitty customer support. But as for me, they've been good. If i ever push for more power though i might switch to the dual disk setup from monster since it has a higher rating than SPECs Stage 5. And much better engage.

No kidding lol. Maybe in the next year or 2, someone would have invented a swap kit for the tr6060. That way i can buy one. Send out to be built. And drop it in and put a nice sturdy driveshaft, ZL1 differential, and some beefy axles in. And not have to worry about anything breaking! =D Plus everything will stay cool thanks to all their coolers.

That's what i want. I would like to eventually do a full engine build from top to bottom and bore it out to like a 3.8L with sleeves and have a direct port injected meth kit. I know they have rods and pistons right now. But i want everything. Valves, vlave springs, cams, crank, 3.8L with sleeve, even lower compression rstion, like a 9 to 1. Idk. I would just love to have a fully built engine that can handle high boost like the GT-R engine can when built.

Aprojectile · 07-25-2016, 08:53 AM

Correct me if im wrong. But the LF4 is just a moded LFX from GM to support boost right? And according to this, it came with 2 different transmission, one of whcih is the tr 6060. Sooooo. Doesnt thay mean their is already a bell housing for the LFX engine to support the tr 6060? O.o

Glad to hear a new toy is on the way!

So the rebuild kit came in for the turbos on Monday, I just haven't got around to posting anything about it. We're going to start work on them this weekend and hopefully have the car back on the road by next week. I will try to keep post up to date with everything.

On a side note, I'm considering joining in on that group buy for the forged rods.

Aprojectile · 08-03-2016, 05:39 AM

And for another note. We haven't got around to putting my ZL1 fuel pump in, and before we do. Would I need to get anything to go with the pump? I remember reading somewhere about a control modular that needs to be used with it, in order to make it have it's full potential. So do I need that controller thing or can I just pull my pump and drop the ZL1 pump in and call it a day?

The car is alive again! For now.....
The car smoked pretty bad for a bit but then cleared up. But it is still throughing some smoke during WOT. But hopefully it will all clear out soon.

Aprojectile · 08-06-2016, 03:19 PM

It's getting pretty thin with this car. Ive been questioning why i didnt sell it when it was still stock and just bought a ZL1 or even a C6 Z06.

Aprojectile · 08-06-2016, 03:22 PM

Yes. =( but it will eventually be a perfect car. Once all the bugs and kinks are worked out of it.

Aprojectile · 11-03-2016, 04:39 PM

Sorry for how dead this thread has became, I've really had nothing to post or update about the car. I've had 0 issues out of the turbo kit finally and the whole car has been running great, in fact I'm about to put her up for the winter and start looking into more stuff to get done to it over the winter.
