Default 2012 Civic Si - A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH

A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH

This week…

The next few days our top priority is to sleeve and deliver a world class finish product. Our customer will not settle for less, you may have heard of him he’s well known in the industry for setting the bar in racing and performance: Bisi Ezerioha of Bisimoto Engineering. Bisi arrived at G.E. yesterday with a K24Z7 core for immediate attention. We struck a deal with Bisi to have it done within three days. We’ve teamed up with Bisi on more than a few projects in the past. He’s our top long-timed sponsored racer and a valued partner.

Golden Eagle Mfg. and Bisimoto Engineering have been a big part of import motorsports engineering development and solutions. As always, horsepower drives the industry and when it comes to hp. Golden Eagle Mfg. has played a roll in many world record timed events all over the world. Turnaround time for a sleeved block is usually three to four weeks, with that being said we intend to hand over Bisi a finish product to his exact specifications in the short time given that not only meets the standard but exemplifies it!

One of the things that makes Hondas so popular is their versatility.
Bisi brings that to a whole new level with all his projects.
The 2012 Civic project is bound to be one of the best yet.

In August, Bisi attended the Motion Auto Show in Anaheim and here is the interview by Import Tuner Magazine:

Project Update


Inspector

The owner/inspector of the K24Z7 project came by to inspect the progress on his engine
The inspector gave us a small write up and left after confiscating some fuel rails for further inspection at his facility.

The K24Z7 is done and on it's way to Bisimoto for the final build.
As you may know G.E. specializes in sleeving aluminum blocks of just about any make or model. Only one catch, It must be a inline four or six cylinder type block.
Over the years we have sleeved all sorts of blocks from a Seadoo to a Yaris.
We have some more projects underway for the SEMA show that we are not at liberty to release at this time. All in good time you will hear about these projects and most likely read about them in one of the performance mags in the near future
.
Keep it real & Boost or Bust!

SEMA is just around the corner

This year is extra special for us here at G.E. and you will have to read this thread after the show to find out what.

The show is considered the Super Bowl of trade shows for the aftermarket automotive industry. The manufacturers and companies for parts like, camshafts, wheels and tires, aftermarket exhaust systems, and lighting, are just a very small percentage of things you will see there.
