:wtf: I CANT BELIEVE THIS :shakes head:

No problem guys for finding you the dyno video. :icon17: Anyway Z fever is really shady, everyone in the Tampa area knows that really well.

If you're going to spend the money on a turbo kit, don't cheap out on the most important part, the installer!

I'm just baffled on how one can drive away from the shop with the piping looking like that. You can spot the booger welds even in the picture. Not to mention the bent piping connected to the turbo

Unreal

Hopefully it was resolved

:iagree:

reminds me of this but not as bad as the pic i posted.

I feel bad just watching the video. Good luck to who ever owns the car.

This is why some people should NOT be allowed to operate power tools!

I had nightmares about this car last night.

now way... that is the same car:eek:

wow

Clearly the owner of this car had no idea what he was getting into and put their full faith in the shop that said "oh we can build you a customer turbo kit, no problem." Ah, this is such a shame to see, especially being a business owner to know there are shops out there like this just fires me up!!!!!

:iagree:

in my opinion and i know is the same opinion of everyone here... "do the things right or just don't do anything..."

Why would someone trust there car with a shop build that isn't proven? In my opinion there is only one shop built turbo system worth considering...............let's just say that they are a forum sponsor!

I hope the owner gets the car straight.

ruined top mount single turbo build?
 

I was on Youtube looking at vids and came across this: professional shop ruins 370; single turbo kit gone bad...

I haven't seen it on here yet; if this is old please disregard and delete. If not....anyone have anymore information? Looks like a VSR type build similar to mine.....but damn

Hey FireDan50 :hello:

That was covered on here not too long ago. ;)

Cool, thanks bro. Hard to keep track of everything on here :P

Comment posted on dyno video see how long it lasts lol

EBAY imo is the elephant graveyard.

Was it Z fever?

Professional shop RUINS new 370z
 

Sooo I was bored at work, when I came across this video on YouTube.. :eek:

Some shop totally did a hack job on this poor Z...

There's a thread on this BTW

This is ZFever out of Tampa(?)


Check out their FB, they're so proud of their work on this car

Ahh I was wondering what shop was responsible for this..

Do you know if they are still in business ??

Seen this on the tube myself, pretty sad no pride in ones work.

There would be a steel-toed boot lodged in the shop owner's colon.

Oh yeah, they post stuff every week or so

People pay money for this kind of work!?@#

I guess this shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. Lack of workmanship seems to be everywhere these days. We recently had our car into the body shop for a crumpled fender as a result of someone backing into it.

Upon completion, steering wheel was off and had to be realigned. Tire pressure was not consistent all around (1 tire was R&R due to wheel refinishing). An applique was not reinstalled behind a splash guard. Underside of fender was not coated with rocker panel protectant (prevents rock chips from damaging underside, present from the factory). It's amazing all these details got messed up given how simple the repair was. I think it'd probably be a good idea to check lug nut torque just in case.
