Boom! Just got this from Bisi

I think we can all agree as a community that we all drank the Bisi koolaid and got burned as a result, unfortunately some of us more than others. I learned that the fancy high dollar "race" parts aren't always the ones that get the best results. I bought one of his $50 intake manifold gaskets, and I'm betting that a $12 gasket from the parts store would have been just fine on my DD Honda.

Man... we were swimming in that Koolaid!
It sucks, because as an engineer, Bisi truly knows what he's doing. His race results are solid proof that he is no hack. Which makes it worse in many ways, that his products for us were so carelessly made, and support for those that had issues was virtually nonexistent!

His intake manifold gasket was pretty much the same thing Hondata sells (sold?) On an engine that's being pushed hard, for a long time... it probably helps prevent the intake manifold from getting heat-soaked. On a daily driver that isn't being pushed hard, probably no benefit at all.

^to take this really OT, Bisi seems to always go with Evolution Industries for the flywheels and cam gears. My flywheel was made by Evo Ind and if you google image bisimoto cam gears, if you look closely, Evo Ind. I'd also bet that they make Bisi's heatshield IM gaskets as well, they're listed on Evo's site!

There we go!

Interesting... Evolution Industries is owned by Crush Master Grinding

Looks like they also make valve springs and retainers. I wonder if they do Bisi's valvetrain components.

I looked to see if I could find something negative about either company, and not much came up (not much came up at all, good or bad.) Automotive products seem to be a secondary concern, and Evolution Industries is actually classified as a company that makes "communication products"... It seems that the company makes and sells motorcycle parts, and any automotive parts are made for sale to dealers rather than the general public. It's entirely possible, given the VERY narrow scope of their automotive products, that they made all of those things at Bisi's request, to his specs. That one is positive, at least.
