Our Firewall Forward Packages provide builders with an affordable alternative to expensive certified engines that are more reliable, burns less fuel, and are cheaper to maintain. We have converted Subaru 4 and 6 cylinder engines, Mazda 13B Rotary engines, and all of the Chevrolet series of LS engines. If you want to use a different engine call us. Our PSRU’s can be adapted to just about anything between 150 HP to 550 HP.

The new 300Z is designed for use with inline 4 and 6 cylinder engines as well as V6 and smaller V8 engines.

Located at the Hillsboro, Texas airport (KINJ) we demand perfection while producing a solid, dependable product.
