It seems his customer is furious that it is taking so long for this blower to be built, and now doesn't want anything to do with it. At this point I am not sure what is to come of this Hummer. Bob

I too spoke with Khalid today, an while he was upset at the time it has taken he understood the reason behind it. I was not ready to release anything with our name (our being EPP and Magnuson) to go overseas unless myself and the engineering team were 100% confident in the design.

We are just three days away from the parts being available, unfortunately this did not work for both parties.

We do hope to work on some projects in the future with EPP and Kahlid, it just did not work out this time.

Thanks for all of your help Brian, I know you wanted to make sure this new combination was perfected before it was going to get sent overseas. Bob

That is a bummer for all of us, that was a slick peice that was built by the maggie guys.

Still awaiting the 1000hp 2300...

[94 slow]

This blows. I was really hoping to hear the EPP blower cam with the 2300tvs. Better luck next time.

wtf?! the guy cant wait a few extra days to have the baddest H2 in dirka land?

[Z06PSI]

They are very impatient....

[zippy]

Are they going to just have you put an F1 on it now or something? At least you have a decent motor to start with. Now to just get some boost to it.

I have a friend from over there also that likes the same kind of stuff. I wonder if these two guys know each other. His name is Khalil.

Thanks everyone, the customer of Khalid's doesn't want the H2 at all. He wants to totally walk away from it, which is very frustrating. Khalid asked me yesterday to help him to try to find someone to buy this Hummer. This Hummer is so close to being finished, it wouldn't take much now to finish it. Bob

[DanO]

so the guy didnt purchase the H2 and the components?

Last time i checked, nobody will assemble an engine and vehicle for me unless i pay. I cant just have all that work done and not pay a cent...

Yeah something doesn't sit right. Did he get the truck on loan from the dealership and send it to get a 1000rwhp combo put on it before he paid for it? Odd.

Khalid has a business over in Kuwait, and this was one of his customer's. From what I understand Khalid refunded his customer the price of the Hummer and all the parts and labor that has been paid to us. This leaves Khalid's company stuck with the Hummer and the build.
If you know of anyone comtemplating build an H2, we have this H2 almost completed. Bob

[mike mcginnis]

as far as performance goes i know someone with a stroekd ls2 with a tvs 2300 who is about to have it running in case your interested.

IMO, yall should finish the build and send it to Khalid... Once he puts it in the showroom, those rich dudes will start a bidding war and he will prolly make more money on it..

I agree, I think there is more of a market for this Hummer over in the Middle East that there is here in the US with the current green (tree huggers) theme, and once it was finished it would probably sell over there pretty quickly. Bob

Bob, If I can sell one of my race cars,I might be interested.

Did TVS get you all the parts you need for high boost and no belt slip? I really think we need to settle this debate about actual WHP possibility of this motor......one way or another

This story also sounds suspect to me. I can't imagine a shop buying someone a non-refundable Hummer, and throwing $XX,XXX dollars at it......with no kind of contract. I can't believe someone could just say "Ahhhhh, I changed my mind. Can you re-fund me? Thanks."

It would make a sweet vehicle for you, Steve! You have to keep the RX7 though...

The blower order was cancelled, so the Hummer is sitting here minus the blower. The blower was ordered back in November, and the first blower showed up on 1/2/09, which was only a slight delay. Once we found we weren't getting the boost we were anticipating, the blower was sent back and Magnacharger went to work on totally revamping it for us. The Saudi customer simply got tired of waiting, and maybe they do business a little differently over there. It could be possible that if they make a promise to one of their customers that they end up not being able to keep, they take care of them by refunding them their money. Bob

If anyone is interested in a Hummer H2 that is almost completed, this one is for sale. We could finish it for the new owner or they could buy it as is. It is so close to being finished! Bob
