My motor grenaded.

wow how many engines does this make for VSR/sr w\e? didn't the first few cars with their kits all blow up too?

edit: ^ beat me to it

Well z1 has 2 also mine included under their belt. It happens guys, soon or later without a built block. As a rule of thumb, if you do not have the funds later on when and if things like this happen you should not have gone fi. Our motors already are high compression and are not built for boost like the all mighty gtr..

I understand but I don't believe my situation went down like that. If I put 5K-10K miles on it and it popped then I get it....explianation applied. But my car never ran right from the get-go. It never should have left VSR until it was right.

That's horrible.

COSMO · 05-20-2014, 10:07 PM

I'm with you buddy, if in fact vsr is at fault they should step up and do the right thing considering how much you have already been through.. They just built my long block and you can rest assure if anything happens to it there will be legal repercussions and I made that Very clear to bobby...

I really thought Bobby would have responded by now, must of been a long day. I don't expect much. When he said he would give me a 'deal' earlier this morning I was ready to explode, I just kept my mouth shut. I don't understand how he thinks I should come out of pocket thousands of dollars for a motor that grenaded with a SC install.

1slow370 · 05-20-2014, 10:16 PM

was it a bearing or a piston that went? I can't remember which of the other threads it was in but they said they were they couldn't get the oil lines from gtm to fit so they made their own or something right? what if they F'd up putting that together and it wasn't getting enough oil?

Edit: How many leftover parts did they have in the box after the instal haha

I believe you're taliking about their TT.

I'm curious even if proven the tune was faulty for whatever reason is there really sny legal action that can be taken? Or are you forced th hope the shop admits error and corrects with no cost to you.

We as a shop did not read the last page of the instructions and we are sorry. I can assure you guys that will never happen again, however that was not the issue. The issue was the oversized 90' coupler that comes off the supercharger and oversized T-bolt clamps. When the T-bolt clamp reached its end it caused the oversize coupler to pinch allowing boost pressure to leak out. The fix was simple, I robbed some clamps from a BMW 335i.

The other problem we had with the kit was the oil system.

The oil pan, oil filter relocation, thermostat and cooler do not work as plan. We made new lines, some drilling and a little fabrication and we made it all work.

Overall the kit is very nice and it delivered the power. The instructions and the lack of parts showing up on time really caused a problem in the shop. Keep in mind we are a 18,000 sqft and at any giving time we have 40 cars in the shop. So when we have to stop and wait and stop and wait on parts that should have came with kit, not to mention that the kit fits 2012 and older NOT 2013 and for the record there are difference between the 2013 model not much but enough. My techs are not GODS, so they will forget and make a mistakes when pulled off a car.

The Tuner and I came in on the weekend (shop closed) and went through the kit and retuned it.

For the record it made 499.6 HP and 402 TQ. Very nice numbers.

Thanks
Bobby

They had some issues with the outlined problems. Oil cooler, oil pan etc didn't just hook up like GTM said according to them but they they said they handled it. I have no idea when I'll be able to have the engine broken down.

This really suck guys. At the end of the day you know you got to get the car running again. Perhaps you could sell the SC kit and use the money towards rebuilding the motor? If you have a line of credit maybe keep the SC and do a performance build. Down the road having a built motor with the SC will give you more satisfaction.

At the end of the day it's just money and you have a lifetime to earn more. Hopefully things work out for you.

let a lesson be learned here...when you receive a car back from serious modification..take it easy at first. Specifically with boost...start by slowly rolling into the throttle a few times... don't hammer it on your first drive. If you suspect problems, nurse it home and diagnose.

Infidel · 05-20-2014, 11:19 PM

Anyone know what a rebuilt long block from Nissan goes for?

1slow370 · 05-20-2014, 11:32 PM

courtesy says 6027.06 for a long block and 3626.06 for a short block
