Hey I have heard some good and bad things about garage kwai. I live in wisconsin and really dont know any good shops. Iam not looking for a swap just to build up my d16y8 motor (cams, gear, springs, retainers, p&p head, tb, port matched intake manifold basically everything). Can they do it are they any good. What has been your experience with the shop. I would call and ask myself but I live at my college dorm and its long distance. I really dont got the money to be wasting on a phone call. Thanks for the help

check out the Hybrid section. i just asked about Garage Kwai over there about a month ago. can't seem to find the link though, so maybe a Search would help.

but install was not all that good
do yourself a favor and avoid some stress

Garage Kwai is garbage, they sell hot motors. Try Evolution in Arlington, they have great mechanics.

ghostdog86

someone told the truth
but he wants to build up his engine
but ITR 2K is still right

does anyone know if evolution has a web page or know the number? Do they do internal work also? Thanks for the help!

apg in chicago supposedly does head work and all that stuff. but every time i call to ask for more info, they never give me a straightforward answer. they say they're still working on stuff and dont know how much it will cost etc etc. sounds to me like they dont have their stuff together.

dont know what evolution does or what kinda facilities they have.

good luck...

apg straight up sucks. my homie bought 5zigen 5zr's white... he wanted the polished lip powdercoated white also to match the rims... after a couple of months they started peeling... he confronted them and they denied promising the lips powdercoated, they claimed they told him they were gonna spraypaint them white... liars for real... after intense arguing they admitted they were sprayed... caught in the act!!!

ghostdog86

apg is on their own thing

Then does anyone know a shop that does good headwork that is in the wisconsin location. Which means like a state outside of wisconsin(ill, minn.....)Thanks for the help.

Call kingmotorsports (kingmotorsports.com) maybe they can refer you to someone.

Halive

I have heard from many people that kingmotor sports does shitty work and are way overpriced.

ITR 2K

I heard that king was good. I never heard any negativity about them.

Halive

anyone else???

Jerry?Funny ****.At Garage Kwai they send 2 of their mechanics on a jet plane to Japan....they than break into early integras,civics,and CRX's...than take the engines...and hop on the jet plane back to arlington hts just in time to open.I'll be sure to get my engines from Evolution if they hook me up on a discount for my huge *** wing,air freshners,universal muffler,and stickers.

Love,
Mikey

So ummm...how do they carry that **** over to here? As carry-on luggage? LOL!

Kalokohan

Carry-on.

Mikey? Hmm.. Do I know you? So I guess you know Jerry, the new mechanic at Evolution, not Garbage Kwai. Jerry is a good friend of mine, and is probably the best mechanic I know. He knows all Honda engines like the back of his hand.
