Hey Guys,

Its been awhile since my last post. Between all the different types of turbo kits and massive amount of engine builds. what can I say Business is....GOOD!!

I was able to get a few more Z's in and we finished the remaining Jigs.

Here are some pics of the car we just finished today. Tuner Kits are available!!

How does the compressor/turbine housing impact AIT's?? It seems awfully close to that intercooler pipe.

Neo187H · 03-19-2013, 02:46 PM

When will the website be updated to reflect the tuner kits that are now available?

elperuano · 03-19-2013, 02:51 PM

Valpozguy's motor blew with this kit on it. He was very vague but can u elaborate on what happened?

It doesn't how I know this is from the data logs from the Dyno runs. The AIT's stay within one degree of each other. Besides the charge air is moving so fast it cant absorb.

Well boost is boost regardless of what turbo kit you use. Well we tuned that car over a year ago. Some of you may know once you tune a ecu it never changes. only mechanical.

So it could be a wastegate malfunction or a boost controller malfunction or a bad tank of gas.

We had a single turbo G37 that drop it valves and he had the same symptoms before it destroyed itself. keep in mind they are high compression engines.

So is that 2 motors that blew with the single turbo kit???

I know all the problems that could come with boost.
One has to think there might be a problem with the design. Perhaps more r&d is needed.
2 motors in such a short amount of time.

I know nismo370 I think is his username is goin with a big single turbo for his built motor. I'd hate to hear his motor pop in jus a few months.

While S&R's response does suck in clearing anything up I'm pretty certain one of the cars that blew was pushing over 580WHP on stock internals, can't blame them for overpowering the engine. Assuming my memory is correct on this.

Footloose301 · 03-19-2013, 07:04 PM

Yeah there was no mention of how much boost those blown motors were playing with

elperuano · 03-19-2013, 07:13 PM

Valpoz was AT. I'm sure he wasn't anywhere around 580..
The response was disappointing. Unless the owner wanted that much power I'm not sure why they would recommend going so high on a stock block.

The car is a 1000 plus miles from my shop and i can't tell you what really happen to it.

When the car left the shop it was below 500hp.

Well the G37 dropped a valve while driving down the street with his wife in the car.

R&D is needed? So, GTM, Greddy Momentum, Stillen, Boosted Performance and every other forced induction kit on planet must produce a different type of boost? So, i guess I need to call Precision Turbo and ask them why the laws of physics ceased to exist in there turbo..lol

Honestly if youre that worried about a blown motor that is running double the stock whp and torque then you shouldn't be looking to do a turbo project. Just think about that...These cars generally make about 270whp and 240tq stock...most turbo'd 370s put about double that down 540whp and 480tq. Most run it reliable but expect issues when pushing double the power.

There really isn't much wrong with VSR's kit. There are a few little things I would and AM doing differently but it would really just be nitpicking the kit.

elperuano · 03-20-2013, 10:03 AM

Lol, I am boosted. Stage 2 TT. 12lbs at 540/500..
There's always a chance for detonation. Everyone knows that. Just going with common sense or the "trend" here. 2 motors in short amount of time from the same kit. Seems very odd. Maybe in the design, tune? Something doesn't seem right from the outside looking in.
Researching STS or GtM or Stillen, can't find anyone that had blown motors so soon after. I've been runnin boost on the VQ for years now. Jus callin it how I see it. Hope it was all just a coincidence.

You're on factory internals? Didn't realize anyone was pusing that much power on stock internals.
