2) A rod shot out of the engine and is now literally missing and there are two holes in my engine xD

I ordered a new engine from Import Parts Pro (IPP)
I ordered this: (Rated up to 850 WHP)
This Package includes:

Products in bold are upgraded from previous stage

Wiseco or JE Pistons .020 over
Carillo H Beam Rods
ARP WMC 3/8" Rod Bolts
ARP L19 Head Bolts

Block inspected and cleaned
Block redecked
Block Bored and Honed using a Torque Plate
Rotating assembly balanced
Crank magnafluxed and the journals micro-polished
New Moly coated Race Spec main bearings installed
New Moly coated Nissan OEM rod bearings installed
Block prepped and assembled
Cometic Head Gaskets
Heads inspected and cleaned
Heads redecked
Ported exhaust and intake runners
3 angle valve job
New OEM Valve stem seals installed
Valve Stem Heights set
Cold Clearance set for stock cams
Heads prepped and assembled
New OEM Oil Pump

Engine will come with Heads bolted to block and torqued to spec
=============================================

I had the same motor built by IPP ... all except for the Cometic head gaskets and I went for the 9.5:1 CR Carillo pistons to compliment the H Beam Rods.
Sent the car down to AAM for their Stage 2 Turbos.
A lot of extra's including EcuTek Tune.
It made 803 whp and 809 wtq according to their Dyno.
Happiness was short lived - never got to take it home - the IPP built motor blew while it was still down there ... blew the rings, pistons, and bent a few valves.
Be careful and don't go for broke on your first Tune ...
Crap you scaring me now haha.

I understand that the engine comes with a 1 year warranty so if it defects by any reason within the 1 year of me having it, I can have it taken care of by IPP. I asked him what if I have a lot of aftermarket parts in my engine, would you still be able to take care of it then if it still blew out for whatever reason? He said yeah, it would still be taken care of -- as long as it is properly maintained and everything -- and that the error was on their end and not mine. Obviously now I can't be blamed for "over running " the engine with too much power because I only have a Stillen Supercharger in it at the moment, as well as a Quaife LSD & KW V3 but none of those would make the motor blow out.

Thanks for the heads up man, I appreciate it, and will be careful.

I was told to swap out the spark plugs for the GTR ones, and my mechanic who will do the engine swap told me that the stillen CC injectors that came with the kit is more than enough unless I want to go e85 then I will need to change out the fuel injectors for bigger ones, as well as fuel system to support e85 safely.

At the same time, he told me that I will need to get it tuned by an ECUTEK tune from a local shop around me as well, to safely run the car.

I had just forgot to ask him about the pulley swaps and if I should either:
A) Wait until I get the 928 super vortech impeller ceramic bearing upgrade
OR
B) It will be safe and beneficial for me still to swap out the pulleys even though I don't have the 928 ceramic bearing upgrade yet (As in it also won't shorten my lifespan of the blower by a lot if I did it without the upgrade)
