Buying turbo engines from mass producers (jaspers,grooms,atk etc.)is a crap shoot.You never know how it will turn out.I've heard of good and bad experiences from all of those builders.I got lucky and got a good one from atk back in '99 for around $1700 w/no core.It now has 30k miles and is still running strong.It's in my driver with a mild combo TA49,alky,etc. and runs 11.7s.
The only specs I know about my engine is it has a 10/10 turbo crank(I checked

) and .30 over hyper pistons.I have no idea what cam it came with.Although I've had good luck with mine if I was going to do it again I'd have a good Buick engine builder build it to my specs.The reason being, the odds of me getting another good cheap remanned engine are slim.

I am currently running a jaspers class 2 motor in my car, they used the factory block from my car. Its currently .030 over, non sleeved. It runs real strong with a year of abuse. I have put approx. 4500 miles on it sence the build. Again as atated above, mass producers are a crap shoot, and in all actuality if I had to do it again, id take to the motor to an individual who works on these v-6's all the time. Those builders go from a 1980's something truck and then build a turbo motor. Like I said the motor runs strong and I cant complain but its something to think about. Good Luck with what you do.

they said there garuntee it to be a turbo crank and rods and grafite head gaskets and they have all the specs they have only started the class 2 a little while ago

Amazing how many rocket scientists we have here that are qualified to talk about stupidity

1FASTV6 · 11-05-2006, 07:54 PM

I knew someone that purchased a ATK motor for a reasonable price and beat the hell out of it with no problems. At the time it was only 1K with a core charge.

We used to have that FastWClass guy. He really was a rocket scientist. I miss him, even though I had no idea what he was talking about 98.5% of the time.

87bigcut · 11-05-2006, 11:09 PM

Im not a rocket scientist yet, but I know a shitload about stupidity (making stupid errors myself that is)
