Hey im going to pick up my rebuilt 13b engine from dave @ kd was just wondering if hes still at his address thats on his website. been there once but didnt drive and im not sure if the address on the site is his current shop and address where hes at ...

8408 Kistler Valley Rd
New Tripoli, PA 18066

 

I'm from the area and the address you have above is correct.

 

thanks alot ... i wouldve tried calling but anyone who deals with kd knows how that goes.

 

how are they to deal with? I've actually never heard of this shop before and it's decently near me.

 

daves awesome and friendly... only negative thing i can say about him is sometimes its hard to get a hold of him, but then again ALL mechanics are.........

for dave
(he installed all my engines in my rx8)

 

How many engines have you gone through, bubbles?

john ny

 

Boost'd 8- greddy turbo kit w/ int x...
1st/ original- broke the eshaft
2nd- rebuilt cracked block
3rd- bad compression
4th- perfect....

KDR didnt do the rebuilds tho, just the installs... on all 3 additional engines.......

 

nice thanks for the info, I'm definitely gunna go check out his shop soon,

 

we could use as much business as we can get at the shop....the economey is killing use right now

kyle@kdr

 

just picked the engine up sat. and now im waiting for the install and hopefully a good healthy engine for many miles to come .... daves a great guy and is very helpfull. Pray for me and my 5th Engine please !

 

was your the motor from r/t tunning....the one that kept eating bolts or something along those lines......

 

yes it was ... as far as bolts i couldnt tell you ... ive searched and searched for any possible thing that could make this happen 4 times in a row (not more that 10miles on engine) ... i was going to write a big thread on this but i didnt feel like typing that much. installer doesnt have the slightest clue as to whats going on. and im tired of the sleepless nights searching for an anwser. i hope the 5 time is a charm ... Even though i said that with the third rebuild ... im starting to become broke.

 

Hey, anyone know of someone relatively cheap that can pick up my FC in upstate NY and haul it down to Dave @ KDR? I've been trying to get work done for the better part of this year and everytime I'm about to have it on a trailer or someone's about to pick it up...something goes all to poo and my car sits in the same spot. grrr!!! Or if someone has a trailer and a truck I'd be more than willing to meet you, pay all gas expenses plus a couple decent meals (no fast food)!

 

How much will a Rebuild for a S4 13Bt cost me? im looking for a good shop around me.

 

jpr might be closer but im sure both will do the work

 

not sure if prices went up or down in the last year or so ... but mine cost me around 3.5k and thats dropping off engine at shop and picking up ... oh yea and a street port.

 

3.5k??

 

yea thats about the right price

and dispite the fact benny hates when i do this, another good shop is IRP in edison...nothing bad to say about them and im pretty sure nobody else does either

 

Hey hows daves leg doing last time i talked to him he broke it

 

yea i was up there about 2.5 weeks ago he didnt seem to be hobbling or anything ... not to sure though didnt ask. but ill tell you one thing thats one way i wouldnt wanna break my leg/knee ... OUCH !

 

Just gotta add my $.02: my experience with KDR has been great. Highly recommended.

 

Was someone dropping bolts into the throttle body because they thought "braaaaaaap, braaaaap" means "feed me" or something? How exactly does a motor eat a bolt?


And somewhat on topic (as far as the direction this thread has taken anyway) Dave seemed like a nice enough guy when I dropped my FD off there when I sold it because the new owner wanted Dave to go over the car and finish the detail stuff.
