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.

I wouldn't say that it is an issue with the kit. More or less the tune or user would be the more likely problem.



There are a lot of 500+ people here...

Yep, just a quick look I see 8 minimum over 500HP.

Also, SRPerformance, check your PMs. I want to finish the forced induction noob thread & want to make sure your info is accurate.

I know 2 people running that local that aren't even on here and I am sure there are more through the US.

I never said that was the full list of boosted 370z cars, it is a user database kept up to date as best as I can.

Just trying to make the community aware.
There's too many boosted cars out there to attribute to "bad" gas although it could be its highly unlikely.
Either tune/kit something might be off. Not trying to put S&R down jus tryin to maybe get u to look over something again.
