I would love to see the 650RWHP dyno sheet. Last I heard you never had the thing running properly before you damaged the engine. Did you make a second attempt??

Actually guys a friend put the auction up for me and he put those numbers on it, not me. I do remember telling him it was making thereabouts 650whp, but i never said i dynoed it in at that. All things considered, i know it could make more than that if it was on a good motor.

I found my knock in my motor last weekend, THREE SPUN BEARINGS! the rod bearings were all ok, but the crank bearings, three in the center, were all spun. SO BAD in fact, the main caps of the block had been scraped and mushed up. nasty stuff, that. I suppose that accounts to my no-power situation with my turbos? I am tempted NOT to sell the setup and stick them on this other 350 i have sitting here, but its a stock 350 from 85' and I dont think it could take the pressure. but im still tempted...

Most of the crap is on ebay now. if the stealthram and turbo setup doesnt sell, i may just hook it up to the stock motor and get some actual dyno numbers. Well, i suppose this time around ill actually keep oil in the motor huh ?

yeah he works for best buy lol. all of that info is from me, and it doesnt actually say "dyno proven horsepower" or anything. If you think it is too BS-ish i have access to the name and I will change it. I dont want to seem like i have to lie about anything, the notepad document my friend used had all the info about the "ugly" parts of the setup, and you can check out my web site for every piece of info on how it was built, what was used, how the welds look, etc... there is nothing hidden from the person who chooses to buy it.

I would ask a ton less for it, but the damn turbos alone would run you over $1100 new the way they are modified from a syty direct market. I am temped to sell the turbos on ebay alone, i could almost get for them what im asking for the entire setup! this guy turbomeastro sells them too, and he gets $750 for the STOCK syclone turbos.

I have already checked on Ebay, and not only do I not use Ebay, but you have stuff listed in large groups, I'm not interested in all of any one thing ($2000 Stealthram/commander setup for example). That's why I asked for individual price on some things.
If you don't want to separate anything just let me know and I won't bother you anymore.

That sounds like something I would say! Its just fun to list stuff on eBay to kind get an idea of what it will go for. If it sells, you make out good, if it doesn't, you have a good sign that maybe you should just keep it and retry the turbo system (I hope you do too, because I would like to see how fast you can go with it in the quarter).

And here it is, my SR20DET conversion on my 240SX is done. Taking it to the track this week hopefully, feels quick on its feet...

So South Floridians keep your eyes out for a stock looking white 240 with hub caps sportin' a Sylvia motor.

And on another side note, the camaro will be back in action soon. We built a 383, but instead of a roots blower, the blower is going on ebay and we are sticking a D-1SC onto it. So it will continue life in this famliy..

To bad I don't live in Florida so I could stomp the crap out of it with my S-10 ,track or highway either one.
