Was it ever 100% running right before it died: It seemed strong and fine with slight gremlins
What kit: BP v2 PT 6766
What PSI: 14 PSI
What was the cause if you know: Cyl 1 ringlands broke and dropped rings
What year was the car: 2014 370Z Sport
Tuner: SEb at Specialtyz
Software: Ecutek
Fuel: Flex ( E81 at time of failure )

The tune was complete and I was happy, I did notice that I would have issues starting after driving somewhere and it sitting for 30 minutes or so.. (hydrolock)? I also thought I was smelling E85 in the oil but I could not confirm this. I was doing a roll in Mexico against a gtr and although I won I noticed slight smoke. I pulled off to a gas station and could not find any smoke so I drove home and the next morning I started it and it was smoking profusely. A teardown revealed cyl 1 ringland and rings dropped but no denotation that was obvious on the piston.
Please don't take this in the wrong way. You're ringland resulted in my opinion to no proper dyno tuning & pushing such high PSI.

Un-top you were pushing a bigger than normal turbo to this kit, with out the proper fuel needed to the engines needs.

I have studied your YouTube videos, one can clearly see you sometimes running lean up top. Again in my opinion, but if you had the proper boost cut via ecutek you would have figured to upgrade to more fuel needed to run properly at that boost level.

Remember these engines were not built to with stand these power levels. The key ingredients is necessary for them to last.

Sorry to hear of you're lost. I too am pushing mine's & have saved in case I experienced the same results.

At the end of the day we all love to push the limits.
