First top mount single turbo 370Z

GambitX · 10-19-2011, 11:03 AM

Yup, its unfortunate but some of us had to learn the hard way with FI. Mazworxs blew my car the day I was going to pick it up. Decided to not rebuild but to just buy a brand new lower block from nissan direct. So far after taking the car to Z1 to retune the car drives 1000 percent with no issues.

I will be watching and talking to Ryan about what he is going to do on his build and maybe we can do it at the same time since I still have the blown block in my garage.

Looking forward to the next phase of the build

We won't know for sure until the motor teardown.

I may be the first FI 370Z casualty? Sometimes, it's not always great to be the first.

Also, there was a Stillen SC G37 that blew his after a dealer installed headers and told the owner he didn't need a retune.

Haha, you just don't want to be the slower VQ in the Tampa area.

You are definitely not the first FI 370Z casualty... I know of at least one 370 that popped over a year ago... Funny how a lot of those that have popped don't make it onto the forums...

I wish they did come on the forums so we could learn more about it... that's the only way we will know the limits and weakspots of this motor.
