Due to concerns with our information being pirated, stolen, and reposted on less informed, copy cat competitor’s websites (and even their brochures) we have been forced to pull a tremendous amount of our specialized information from this website. We are the originators of Porsche M9X engine development in North America, all the rest are imitators~
Due to this, the best way to receive information concerning the engines that we offer is to submit a support ticket from the contact us portion of this website. We prefer old fashioned “20th Century business, and communication. We offer direct, and very personal interactions with all purchasers, since we are not mass producers of engines. Our maximum engine output per year is 36 engines, combined between all engine builders, the “newest” of which has been with the company for 12 years, the oldest since 1998. We have worked at maximum output for more than two decades, and have no intentions of building more engines, or changing our practices to include mass production. Today we build engines for direct sales, omitting our once backlog that ranged from 20-28 months. Today, if the planets align when you contact us, you could have our engine powering your car within 2 weeks! The prior backlog created drama and hysteria among owners that would do without their car for a minimum of one year. Today you might only have your car off the road for one week. This is due to “tagging the line” in 2022 and then working off all prior backlog before starting the processes over again, with a radically simplified process.
Our ordering process is a simple, straight forward operation that is carried out professionally, with excellent communication, and full documentation of all services provided. We promise that you will never wonder where your engine stands and will receive constant updates while we are in-work with your project. We update engine purchasers at every stage of the 6 step process, by schedule.
Our formal proposal documentation covers all aspects of the purchase up front, ensuring that no hidden costs or agendas exist. I have made this process quick, and easy, because I no longer have an office and spend less than 4 hours per week carrying out administrative duties. Our engines sell themselves, and they always have.

- Include any issues the engine has experienced, if you plan to track the car, miles, repair history or etc
- We will reply within 24 hours to inform you of some things, including when our next scheduled engine will be completed for your application.At this time we will generally ask you some more specific questions. This may/ may not be a canned reply~
- You will reply with some answers and likely more commentary to expand on your use for the car, desires and etc.
- If the project appears to be mutually beneficial, we will then respond with an application for you to fill out and submit, as well as inform you of your most local options for a Certified Installation, using one of our 40+ North American Certified Installers.
- You will complete the application, and submit it for review.
- Mr. Raby’s “Gauntlet Process” initiated. (This is Mr. Raby’s evaluation/ interview of the customer, to ensure expectations are realistic, and that we can work together.) At this time we may schedule a Zoom meeting
- Mr. Raby accepts or denies the project, and executes the paperwork for projects that we will accept.
- Invoice is created.
- Engine is paid for.
- Engine Ships to the Certified Installer you have chosen (You pay the CFI directly for their work!)

All that is required of you during these procedures is:
- Pay as agreed

- Promptly return submission tickets, and phone calls
NOTE: This process changed February 2022 when our line was tagged” allowing no more lengthy projects to occur. All backlog was completed and a new program designed to fill engine orders on demand was created. This program began in 2015 and was known as the “Premier Program” and between 2015- 2022 1/3 of our engines followed this protocol. Today all water- cooled Porsche M9X and 9A1 engines follow this, except the R- Series engines that are special projects of Mr. Raby.
