I saw your car at the down and out show it's really clean looking, just an idea for you once you get it fixed try taking it to HP logic in west palm beach, their's quite a few guys here that have been tuned at that shop and have had great results with no issues.

Yah that was the first time i had seen it finished and first time driving out of the show. It had issues with leaking BOVS and fuel cut coming on as soon as I left so I practically got to drive it back to the shop.

I am going to HP logic or Z1, I havent made up my mind yet

UPDATE:
they are going to just order a brand new lower assembly and just set the boost for 6psi and send me on my way. I still have to wait 3 weeks but its way better than 2-3 months.

I also will beable to take my blown block and then figure out how to rebuild it down the road when there is more money laying around.

Having a spare block is good you can take you time building it.

Mike, did you decide on HP Logic or Z1? I was thinking...of going to Z nationals at the end of September and having my car tuned then...BUT I'm not sure I'm going want to wait so long to have my car tuned since I'll have all my issues fixed within the next week.

IF my car is done before Z1 nationals ill take it there before the event and stay all week. But i have a feeling it wont be ready.

I would suggest HP logic , as I have installed a handful of gtm turbo kits and they tune all my customers cars with zero issues.

Ron 08-15-2011 08:09 PM

Jnaut do you have shop? What's ur rate for a TT installation? If you don't mind me asking

Jason, I'll be seeing you soon. Dropped my car off tonight for some work and will most likely go to HP logic in the next few weeks.

You'll see my car with Jason if you come down soon. :)

Monday they had everything fixed and before I was to come get the car they called and said they think the car spun a bearing. Then today they took the oil pan off and you could see the bent rods.

Stats on the car is Greddy TT kit, 8 psi, 507hp

Visibly bent? My experience is that rods BEND not to extra HP, but to filling the cyl with fuel (or water). I wonder if there was a leaking injector or something and upon start up--BANG--the piston can't compress the fuel and the rod takes the hit. This will happen at any hp level.

A poor tune would burn the piston, but not bend the rod. Methinks this better be solved or rethunk before another lower end is installed.

Good luck.

Hey Coop,

Yes you can visibly see 2 rods are bent from lookin up into the motor with the oil pans removed. Im still awaiting to hear when the motor will be pulled and taken apart to see what else is wrong, so the car has been sitting for 2 weeks so far.

Hopefully you get squared away soon, then maybe we can compare builds as well. Well, when I get back from this glorious place out in the middle of nowhere..........
