Default Import Builders any good??

I have a stock R and i want to go turbo. I was thinking about getting one of their block package. What do u guys think? I will have about $6,000 to spend so i have a pretty good budget. Thanx guys. oh by the way i would upgrade to an annihilator block.

try Area51 (if you dont have any "connections" its going to be a little tough getting in touch with them right now) IMO much better service, and much better work then IB.

Edit: the "Doc" knows his ishhh

Arno- who is refering to Charles as the "Doc"

highly recommend IB. Jeff's knowledge on honda motors is incredible. I learned so much from him just by talking with him as he tuned my car and installed Hondata. Jeff knows what he's doing and you'll be VERY pleased with your results. to jeff@IB

I agree, jeff knows his "tuning ****" but you gotta have a word or 2 with charles, and you'll see why my vote goes for area51

NO SCREW YOU... ...j/k dood.....

Yea i totally understand, you cant judge someone if you have never talked to him, but ask "jeff" next time about "Atomic" and see what he says.

Go to JHP and look at the CRX thats been for sale for years, the atomic one

i thought jeff and charles both were at atomic. so what does atomic have anything to do with both of them? are u implying atomic fell apart because of jeff or because of charles? any clarification on the "atomic" issue would be appreciated.

im not implying anything, All I am saying is that Jeff knows Charles, and jeff will say what type of person charles is. Thats it, Dont read too much into a post

Edit: There are many verisons of the Atomic story, but lets not get into that. This thread isnt about Atomic...its about IB..and I suggest Area51 over IB

let's just say "it" and the "long story" has to do with ethics and how one conducts business legitimately..."it" had to do with stealing parts without the knowledge or consent of the owner in order to steal ideas for copying to be used on their own products....

other than that they must have a good marketing dept. as you can see people with no scruples will get recommended by anyone with a short memory ....
