Has anyone gotten a kit?

@jhatley7 has a kit. I met someone else who had one in person. Looked like a MF'er to work on. Congrats on the car!

Wasn't aware they had QC issues? I really don't want to give MMR any money as it seems their support is non-existent. They're happy to take your money though...

It's just a hone, not a typical bore. .005" isn't that much. Also, Boundary OPG/CG is on sale for $239 vs the $270 for MMR.

Well I got good news. Machinist called me this morning. Block _will_ clean up at .005". So gonna send it. Will have stock crank, Molnar Power Adder Rods and Diamond Mod2k pistons. I can tell you, it's definitely cheaper to use a Gen 3 block than what I have in machine work. Live in and learn...

I should have picked up a Gen 3 block. My '12 block won't clean up at .005" over so I'm stuck sleeving it. For a rods/pistons build, the Gen 3 block seems to be the way to go.

I'm curious how much boost you could push through a 3.700" bore. Wonder what the thickness is at that bore. Impression I get is that if you want a lot of boost, you stick with the stock bore.

Beefcake definitely knows his shit when it comes to Vortech. You're probably in good hands. Whoever is tuning it will definitely watch the logs early on.

I don't know about the Vortech, but for my Whipple this is what I got from Dustin 5000' - 6000' .25 - .375 smaller LT's .5 - 1.0 less boost Max Diameter Pump Gas (93) 3.25" @ altitude I'd hope whoever you bought the kit from would offer some guidance. If not, pick another dealer. Just my $.02...

What's the car weigh? Makes me want to ditch my Whipple for a Procharger.

When you say built motor, do you mean sleeved or just rods/pistons? Stock valve springs?

I picked up 8MPH with C85 changing nothing vs pump e-85

I've wondered this as well...like how much of my 10-rib can I reuse? Can I use the 132mm TB until I decide to go full stupid and opt for the 150? Can the heat exchange and dual fans be used or ? I'm hoping when things slow down there will be a "kit" e.g "I own Gen N, and I want Gen Z" and wala!

Who has one in stock ready to ship? Sending block to machine shop. Need crank.

I've seriously considered doing this. Coyote swapping a Fox or Fairmont/Zephyr. Even thought about taking the Whipple/Coyote out of my '15 to do it with. Definitely keep the build thread here. Always wondered what a boosted Coyote would do in a car that weighed 500+ lb less.

When I cancelled my CPR order, I seriously considered it. But no phone number, didn't reply to an e-mail and I had concerns they wouldn't ship by September when they said they would. Seems they haven't yet. Was seriously interested.

It's why I want to switch. 10-rib/20% OD == E-85 only. Turbo would let me run around on cheap pump and drive the car more.

I didn't follow the steps correctly the first time when doing OPG/CG and was a tooth or two off. It's easy enough to fix yourself with a giant f'n wrench (there's a flat spot on the camshaft). Yes, a metric shit-ton of codes. Car _will_ run, it'll pop like a SOB. As to frying the PCM by...

128-140 feels the same to me. 145+ gets a bit hairy on a short shutdown. It's otherwise boring in my experience.

Thinking about doing a rods/piston build with a set of pistons that give me approximately 9.7:1 compression ratio. The way the Whipple is pullied (20% OD, 4.0" upper), I'm still 13-14lb. Will this survive on cheap 91?
