RB26 with a billet touch

We had a great deal of work to process on this RB. This assembly will be used for some very spirited road racing and will look good doing it.

This particular RB is quite unique due to the use of many billet components found throughout the RB vendors list. What makes this RB stand out is the use of some really nice billet covers and the addition of a Kiwi CNC billet dry sump system. The touch of purple doesn’t hurt either!

Mod list for this RB is quite lengthy but well equipped!

vapor honing

With older methods of cleaning heads being outdated and honestly frowned upon in the automotive racing industry, machine shops have to adapt and conform to new technology to clean parts. One such process is vapor honing. Since our acquisition of our VHT Honing cabinet we’ve been able to process all our aluminum heads, oil pans & other various engine components to a better than new look and feel.

Here is a great comparison of a set of conventional BBC cylinder heads.

If you are interested in having us clean/process your parts please get in contact with us!

RB26 GTR BLANCO

This RB came into us a while back needing some significant repairs. While doing so the client opted to update much of the engine assembly to ensure he could make the power he was wanting to produce from his RB.

This RB26, while a little over built for his needs will definitely own up to the task of being consistent and reliable when the time comes to put down some good numbers.

CP Pistons
Saenz Rods
ACL bearings

SUPERCHARGED 1GRFE

We were sent in a Toyota Tacoma V6 engine assembly to rebuild as the engine ran out of steam and couldn’t produce more power on the factory setup.

This 1GRFE is equipped with a TRD Supercharger and made some pretty good numbers, but with the increase in boost pressure with a billet pulley upgrade the stock rods and pistons then become the weak link in the system. So a full rebuild with custom rods & pistons was in order.

The cylinder heads were completely redone as well. New bronze guides, new SB Valves, Kelford cams & springs were utilized as well. Heads went through a full rework on the intake & exhaust ports.

Our new pistons were made by CP and are 10:1 with our new custom Saenz forged rod made a great combination that is well suited for this build. We also updated the head bolts for new ARP 2000 head studs (available through us only)

We look forward to seeing what this really nice 1GRFE can put down with this new build.

ultrasonic 3200

Engine building is dirty and being able to clean in the hard to reach areas for many is a chore all on its own. With so much time being spent on cleaning parts we opted to acquire another piece of cleaning equipment.

Enter our new Ultrasonic LLC 3200 cleaning cabinet. This piece of equipment is remarkable and can clean things we can’t normally get access to. By utilizing this system we can remove years of old coked oil and debris from engine parts. Aluminum heads look remarkable just after 1 to 2 cycles in the machine.

We still utilize a hot tank to remove heavy soils, oil and road grime/debris but as the EPA wants to continue their choke hold on ways to clean we have to step up to a new way of doing things. While the investment is not for everyone, engine shops like ours need something like this to not only clean better but in a better time managed manner. This is yet another addition to our shop to aid us in building great engine assemblies.

vapor hone 1000

We are extremely excited to receive our new Vapor Hone Technologies VH1000. This new piece of equipment we’ve purchased will elevate our products by not only providing a superior fit and finish but the overall look and feel of the products we process through our new vapor hone will make our engine assemblies and sub assembly parts look fantastic.

We will offer vapor honing service starting next month Oct 2023. If you’re in need of having your aluminum parts cleaned please get in contact with us.


momo npt90

Our GTP Group C Project for the MOMO NPT90 was a huge project for us. We were tasked to redesign the rotating assembly and rebuild the iconic Electramotive era VG30 4 valve engine assembly. We set out to put the latest and greatest the industry offers now and it didn’t disappoint!

Our GTP VG30 engine assembly utilized a new billet crankshaft, custom forged rods and our HD forged piston. The pistons were ceramic anodized and were topped off with a thermal barrier and DFL skirt coating. Wrist pins were dropped from a 1.00″ diameter for a .927 TP Trend material full DLC coated. We utilized a new Total Seal Ring pack and updated the sealing from the billet aluminum headgasket with cooper seals to our top fuel hoop and copper gasket system. To round everything out we then went in and had custom tool steel camshafts made to get a better cam profile matched to this engines setup. The result netted 1250hp at 31psi of boost on a pair of Garrett G series turbos.

We look forward to more GTP projects in the future. For now enjoy some of the images of the GTP engine assembly and the MOMO NPT90 that our engine assembly is fitted to.

bored & stroked l6

We’ve been busy with many projects at our new facility. One we are pretty proud of is an 3.1L L6 assembly we finished recently. Our client had a short lived engine assembly he brought to us to be repaired. After looking through his build we noticed a lot of damage caused by the parts used and overall setup. We started over with everything new to include our billet L6 stroker kit. Our 3.1L kit is comprised of an 83mm stroke crankshaft, our custom forged tri-beam rods, & custom CP pistons at a 12:1 CR. This new assembly is also running a billet main cap kit w/ block brace. His cylinder head was already CNC ported but was updated with a new billet camshaft we spec’d out for this build.

The assembly was revamped with all new quick disconnect Jiffytite fittings, full custom hardline vacuum system, full exhaust venturi setup and a new ProtunerZ cam sync kit. We had a fun time getting this assembly finished and hope to continue more L6 engine builds in the future.
