i just got the ring kit from them, i like it alot, it was my first rebiuld, and everything mechanically sounds great, i just gotta figure out some electrical stuff, but yeah topline is good, not sure about there pistons, but the ring kit is very good
here's the link I found. Where else can I buy topline from??? http://www.rpmmachine.com/engine-rebuild-kits-toyota.shtml
Awesome AWESOME website. Has anyone had their engine built by ipp? I'm looking for at least 500hp from my engine can I get with them?
I used the "re-ring" kit from rpmperformance and it worked out fine for me - 7000+ miles on rebuild and still running strong. I didn't use the headgasket since I went HKS metal.
I havent had any expreience with their bottom end kits, but I did buy a rebuilt head as a core for a head build. It was total crap. After I sent it to DPR for work, they had to replace 5 valves. 1 was trash and the other 4 were under spec for stem length/valve margin. Not to mention the head surface was marred a bit. Some of the springs were pretty worn too. This was after I called them before purchasing it to ask if all of the components were new, which they told me they were. Needless to say, I got most of my money back for them to buy me new components to replace the crap they sent me. I will never do business with them again.
so with your experience just use them for there cheap engine kit and have someone else do the work. The engine kit I am refereing to comes with eagle rods, wiseco pistons, main bearing and rod bearing by Toga, ARP hardware , Cosmetic gasket and some other main brand stuff for $999.
