Well Yeah...I've always wanted an aluminium engine block, as the base for a coffee table...no, I'm serious.:yes:

I have a pic somewhere of one, & the owner stored bottles of fine wine in the cylinder bores...:thumbup:

Now THAT is the proper way to get familiar with your ride... gun it, run it, and let it know what is to be expected!

I have to agree. See, "fine" wine is still wine. Now, if it was storing chilled Jager...

ya...there's an invention for someone who wants to make some dough...

a jager machine that looks like a motor..

and actually, seeing a picture of it, it is pretty cool used as a table dub...

Good, but i think about 04 axiom engine and Aisin transmission! What do you think about it? It has 250 hp, and strong japanese transmission!
How much it will be cost in US?

what company is this? i would love to invest and see if it works. can you send me the right direction on this and let me know how i can invest on this?

A stock tip for anyone interested... Symbol TNRI... it's getting ready to run... I have 2.5 million shares of it... expected to hit .01 within a month... yes thats one penny... if it hits that... I'll have a cool $25,000.... it's @ .0002 right now... that's 2/1000th's of a penny... it's a gold mining company... Do your due diligence and research and buy some... a spare $200 (for a million shares) of mad money could net you $10,000

research it, read EVERYTHING you can get your hands on a stock before investing/trading. Make your OWN decisions... Stocks are a risk, I am not a financial advisor... I am tipping this stoclk ONLY because I am invested in it, but that doesn't mean it is going up for sure. It's just my opinion.

I DO recommend Scottrade for online broker... I think it's the best, cheapest and more bang for your buck... free to start an account, deposit money, and $7 a trade, although for these penny stock, they're what is called a "Pink", there is a small extra fee to buy these types of stocks... for a million shares of this it's $8. Email me if you have any other Q's.

First correct me if I am wrong but isnt an 2002 Axiom not direct injection to begin with? I thought it was just 2004 Axiom and Rodeo. Or at least those are the only Axiom's I have ever considered buying becuase of this.

Two:
Penny stocks are risky. But I am looking into this one.

Right, it's not direct injection, but, it's a different intake and injection from a stock VX... hence the 230HP with the same block/heads (although the heads are slightly diff/redesigned/improved).

As far as the stock tip, please see my previous post, and email me with any Q's.

Ok... Bottom line... it's the whole topside of the VX engine on the Axiom block and heads... intake, TB, just about everything from the heads up to the underside of the hood... I even had to use the valve covers from the VX engine, as the Axiom valve covers were shaped just slightly different and stuff wouldn't fit with the Axiom valve covers on.

Aye, tis the rub! That right there would have been the nail in the coffin were it my project, heh. Seems like any and all advantages (aside from cheaper price) would be flushed. Good job though. Glad to see someone finally came through with a swap of ANY kind. :cool:

Yeah, my oil consumption is really pretty awful. I probably use damn near 5 quarts in between oil changes. :wtfy: So definitely keep me posted on how the new setup works with oil drinking.

Agreed, THAT is badddddaasssssss looking. Me personally, I would have the whole thing coated in Instant Rust to give it that rustic look or maybe have it dipped in liquid black plastic coating. Really cool either way. I love the use of found objects and recycled objects for making new, functional, artistic pieces.

I’m still very impressed.:cool:

Maybe you said this before, and I just missed it. Are you getting the 230 horses out of the engine or only 215?
Peace.

I'd say I'm getting only 215HP, because I am using the Axiom long block and the VX intake, injectors etc... and ECM... The reason the '02 Axiom had 230HP was the advanced/redesigned intake, injectors and a advanced/better calibrated ECM.
Now it may be wishful thinking but, I think it Feels more powerful, it surges better, takes off better/faster... it just feels different... like, "VX with better engine here, don't ef with me"... It just seems to have even more attitude... as if a VX needed more attitude... LOL!

2002-2004 Isuzu Axiom
Powertrain Options and Availability
In 2002-03, Isuzu's 3.5-liter, dual-overhead-cam V-6 engine made 230 horsepower and teamed with a four-speed automatic transmission. For 2004, Isuzu introduced a direct-injection gasoline engine rated at 250 horsepower. Axioms may have rear-drive or four-wheel drive.
