wow do i know how that feels... i have been on my project for a year this september and i am just finishing it up! but Money makes the world go 'round!!! good luck with everything!!

 

not sure what is going on... and im confused by the whole situation and im sure that it is not legal... but i want my car back..

 

Dude, I dont know what the deal is, but I would go get your car back. Tell them to put the 1.5 back in it and just take it out of there.

 

yeah that whole situation sounds scetchy.... and arent they also team sponsers on here??? i dont know good luck thought with it!

 

yeah im getting my car back... this will probally go to court... we hired an attorney and he is located in sheperdsville along with zpi's shop... and he actually went after zpi for doing similar things to tuners like myself that are out of state.... what a low move... i cant even believe it to be honest...

 

thats crazy... what all did they do to the xb?

 

my God...yet people keep buying from them no matter how many horror stories they hear.

good luck man

...here comes the fanboys

 

Here is one now


Wait sorry thats a honda fan boy. How bout everyones experience is different. I have had a positive experience with ZPI.

 

that sucks, hard core :-(

 

what happen?

 

I'd like to hear what heppened as well, but I doubt we'll get either side of the story's version. For two reasons, no one wants to hear I told you so. And if lawyers are involved the first thing they will tell their clients is to keep their mouth shut. Especially with something like a newsgroup.

 

rton ur correct... ill update as i can....

but just so everyone knows my first experience with zpi was wonderful... 200hp beast for a couple months till the tranny went... from there it has been almost 8 months of hell trying to get updates/info/ anything at all from zpi...

 

Watching. Please update as you can.

 

Hey fusion! I hope everything works out well for you. I have had an overall nice experience with ZPI. I had my times of having to call/bug them to get updates, but in the end I always was pleased. I wish you the best man. Keep us informed.

 

I knew this thread was going to end up at this stage..... it seems if you are the guinea pig for ZPI you are screwed because they bite off more than they can chew so to speak and jump into their project all wide eyed and they never plan things out. Some preliminary research and this could have all been avoided.

The TC motor should fit in the xb but like everyone has said it will take more than just the engine to make it work.

You would have to take the entire drive line from a tc and not knowing the width on the tc compared to the xb1 you may or may not be able to use the tc axles. Use the tc tranny and computers.

You could use the xb gauge cluster just need to figure out what wires to tap into from each.

To mount the engine you would have to figure out how merge the TC front subframe to the xb unibody.

With the right prep work it can be done it is just a little more than a simple swap like most tuner shops are used to.

I still wish I could get my hands on the computer model of the xb so I could try some of my ideas out on them.

 

im tired of not having a car!! and i need something to get me around... what do yall think about this?

 

^^i could live with it

 

yea well for 5g seemed too good to be true

 

and chances are it is.......

 

5 gs? First thing id do is a compression test and check out the rest of that motor. Something doesnt seem right for only 5 grand
