ZZP Major Build
I'm not even done with my build at ZZP and thought I would keep you all updated on the same page I am for the completed build and their customer service throughout.
I've done a good amount of business with them before this. My current mods are
ZZP Upper IC
ZZP Lower IC
ZZP Front and rear rotated trans mounts
ZZP FMIC
ZZP BOV
ZZP S252 extended tip turbo upgrade
ZZP Catback
ZZP Intake
ect ect ect.
SO pretty much all zzp with a larger turbo. Well it came time for a build as there were some issues I ran into, I don't feel like going into that..
I emailed ZZP once before about a build and the guy who got back to me (Who shall remain nameless) pretty much just said "Go to our site and pick out the parts you want, we'll install them". This isn't what I wanted or asked for, not a bad response but not for me, I wanted them to build me a car, I'm not the pro.
A couple months pass and I email again asking for them to build me a car with THEIR KNOWLEDGE, this time I get Turbo Tim@ZZPerformance. I tell him build me a car, I ask tons of questions, he comes back with a quote with parts HE picked out. PERFECT.
My New Build
Ecotec Forged Short Block
Option 1: Add ZZP neutral balance shafts
Option 2: Fidanza aluminum flywheel
Option 3: ATI SFI turbo balancer
Option 4: Add ZZP 4340 rods
Option 5: JE 9.0:1 pistons
Model: 2.1L LNF direct injection
LNF Ported Head, Cams, Tune -Combo
Model: Larger fuel pump lobe
7064 EFR conversion
ZZP F40 6 speed transmission conversion (w/QDH9J Quaife LSD) The first Quaife LSD F40!!
(trans, flywheel, clutch disc, mounts, shift cables, intermediate
shaft, axle mod, shifter mod)
Some gauges, ect ect, general stuff.
A little while passes, black friday comes and goes, they are ready for the car. I send from Pensacola, FL with bunches and bunches of cash. It arrived last friday and it made it into the shop yesterday I believe. I'll keep this thread up and see if I can't get Tim to send me some pictures of the car being torn up and put together!
My understanding is once they start on the car they will only have it for 1-3 weeks since everything was ready when it arrived. Who can't wait for pics and videos? EVERYONE!
Thanks so far ZZP! Mostly TurboTim! :P
Shoot me any questions or suggestions you guys might have, Or just a good luck!
Edit: Thanks Aaron from TurboTechRacing on suggesting some pedder coilovers for the car. Definately needed to upgrade the stock suspension. Dunno how that slipped my mind! Great working with him. Thanks Again!!

I moved this out of vendor reviews as it seems this thread you want to be more of your build tread. When your done with this and want to write a overall review then id post that in the vendor review section.

I shot them an email, checking to see if there was a mistake during the busy holiday season. Hopefully there was some zzp magic and now JE pistons work?
