We're pushing 256WHP now with Vortech kit. One Lap of America win which was 9 days of tracks and 4500 miles.

We then drove to Californica from Iowa and did Big Willow. Then slapped a supercharger on it and did it again to Fontana.

We leave again Thursday for Fontana, CA with both cars. The Supercharged car now has 25K + hard miles on it. It will see another 4000 miles round trip and a day at Autoclub speedway and drive back home.

These motors are not 218HP weak I can promise you that. They either had a bad tune, or something was off with the internals of that specific motor. Our silver car alone should be testament to how solid and reliable this car is.

I love all the vendors (except APR), until you cross me.

lexusb3 · 11-19-2013, 11:33 PM

I'm at 480whp and 21,000 turbo miles motors are very STRONG if it can handle my crazy driving lol

Then again a guy in my hometown ventilated his block, and I think his was stock. Aberrations do occur...good thing it was a warranty job.

Watch the Tuned episode of crawfords brz on youtube. Now look at thetune issues that were experienced on a car that was "ready" for the shoot.....
Look at crawfords poor tuning reputation.....
Look at how Crawford sells build blocks.....
Sounds fishy to me.

I have confidence in the FA20. Stick to the Ej crawford.

Video below for you genteman. tune isues start just after 7.40

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLP-HCcX9as"]The 450 HP Crawford Performance Turbo BRZ - /TUNED - YouTube[/ame]

I hope everyone agrees with me.....
If you want some more laughs, look up the crawford guys trying to drift....
I have nothing against the Crawford guys, I just have seen there wok on youtube and forums. He even says in he video; "This particular engine is much stronger than the EJ motor".
