Ahhh.. Gottcha.. there are alot of people who want them.. Maybe you should start a fund and have people donate a couple dollars to it so you can get them done quicker.

Very soon, my friend. Very soon. Eloy and Race Precision are currently waiting on parts to rebuild the 1NZ-FE in his xB. They have new rods and pistons going in with a 9.5:1 compression ratio. The pistons come with the pins and rings. And the best news is that Race Precision will be selling the same exact producs he is using.

Rton is right. We are now offering an RPi Stage 2 package for the Xb. It includes forged pistons, pins, rods, etc. installed for about $2300. This will allow you to run 30psi of boost, given you have the right fuel set up and tuning.

You sleave the block and you could run 70psi.. Glad to see the boxes will finally get some good internals to help make some big numbers.. Now who's gonna be the first to fork out some cash and push the limits?

Anything that can prevent a thrown rod is what I would like to see.

The stock sleeves seem to hold up fine. We ran our car at 7-8psi for months as a daily driver and over 40 laps at Streets of WIllow. With out dyno numbers we are near 180lb/tq and the motor shows no sign or abnormal wear. We took the internals out and inspected the block, head, rods, pistons, etc. The block could benefit from a sleeve brace but other than that, I think it will hold up to some good punishment. I'm not worried about the rods we are using to break at all. Proper tuning and a good turbo kit will net you good numbers. As of today, we do not plan on selling our kits over the internet or mail order. Our kits will be installed by us and each car will be individually tuned by us, on our dyno. Not all cars behave the same so using a "tune" on a piggy back ecu then shipping it out to someone is not going to cut it. We also do compression and leak down tests on the motors before going FI.

We can sell you the internals, but as far as force induction thats another story. Until we have good tuning shops that we can work with out of state, we want to keep our kits inhouse.
