lol, it went back to Magnacharger.
I just found out that our customer (who is a Magnacharger dealer) in Saudi Arabia that we were building this Hummer for, who was having us build it for one of his customers, has authorized Magnacharger to kill this project. 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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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
