Did you actually read your own search results? Because I spent an hour digging through search results using multiple key words. I posted in the 1 relevant thread regarding the subject, then the results quickly devolve to content which is 5+ years old.
We have to stay stock internals, and so far the VQ doesn't seem to have any internal weaknesses at stock power to worry about. So it's far more cost effective and timely to lightly refresh a pullout vs doing a build. We have approximately 8 weeks until next race, and all the machinists in the area are 4-6 weeks out. And seeing as the JDM VQ is identical internally, finding a low mile swap from Japan seems like the play.PapaSmurf2k3 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 16, 2021 11:36 pmJust looking for a stock drop in replacement? I would have thought you'd at least be doing some kind of race prep/rebuild to the thing.
Yah, that's who I was hoping might chime in. I briefly considered just texting them, but decided this would be more fun.PapaSmurf2k3 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 17, 2021 6:03 amI gotcha. I'm with you, I haven't heard anything good or bad one way or the other recently.
I bet Greg or Torry knows someone in the biz though.

Good try though.
I spent an hour of my morning on hold with an aftermarket warranty company attempting to get pre-approval for a $6000 repair job for a customer. I'm just a little spicy today.Rogue One wrote: ↑Tue Aug 17, 2021 8:25 amWow.IanS wrote: ↑Tue Aug 17, 2021 5:49 am

Yah, we're booked a solid 2 weeks out all the time, and I can't find a good tech to save my life. Most of my customers are understanding, but when someone I've known for years calls with grinding brakes, it's really hard to tell them I can't do anything for 10 days or more. It's very demoralizing. Every shop in town is hiring, and we pay more than most. I can't even hire a kid straight out of college, they just don't exist.PapaSmurf2k3 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 17, 2021 4:02 pmSalty Ian!
I am too. Been a s*** couple of weeks at work.
