Thumbs up 4G64 MIVEC build in Import Tuner Magazine

Thought I'd share...

My 4G64 MIVEC build is in the current issue of Import Tuner Magazine. The current article covers the shortblock build, detailing the stroker crank, long rods, custom pistons and more.

The cylinder head, turbo and more to come in parts 2 and 3! I'm looking to install the finished engine next week, so more updates to come

UPDATE: The article is now online!

Yeah, the radiator test was a good one. They had nothing but good things to say about your radiator.

i wish they would post the results..

i have a feeling the other rad companies that advertise in their magazine (which we dont) weren't happy with the results... and politics followed..

i have the actual data from the test and the writeup from the shop that did the test...

aaron,

the stocker works great short term... this was shown in the tests... plus, the weight is good because of the plastic tanks..

we have about 7 different evo rads now... so its hard to compare apples to apples... if you ever need anything, let me know!!

sorry to OT this thread!

I will be watching the build.
