Didn't you have unequal charge times which caused issues?

Oh yeah! The OP's issue is the unequal length manifolds...whereas my issue was unequal length/size intake piping. I've learned a lot since those days :mad:

Have I missed that much? Is VSR's reputation in the gutter? But yes...my VSR tune was horrible.

Nah they only lit one guys car on fire, the rest were all just blown motors.

Yeah, just :shakes head:

Based on some of the stuff I've heard on this forum, there is no way I would let Bobby touch any car I own.

Being 3000 miles away is close enough for me

Just in case anyone be wondering I think it was Valpozguy who had one of his new vsr P/s lines leak and start a small fire. He's the guy with the cool fire extinguisher mounted to the cross bar picture.


Edit: His motor also popped as well

They also did Infidel's GTM s/c install couldn't hook up his oil system right then seized his motor on the dyno and are now giving him a "deal" on a rebuild. His car only had a couple thousand miles and was boosted for less than a week at 9psi.

No. COSMO's engine let go on the Z1 dyno when it was getting tuned. If I knock off some college bong resin I pretty sure COSMO's problem was improperly setting up his boost controller and seeing what the EBC told him was something over 30psi. That's not possible with his setup but still something way over what a stock block should hold. Pretty sure he finally got it right but I think the damage has been done and the dyno took its toll.

They did some what I would consider dumb stuff with COSMO's built engine but they are not responsible for his motor letting go. The jury is still out on the built motor but it seems to be holding together.

ahhhhhhhh gotcha.

idk why they would crank the boost.......Z1's dyno reads 25% higher to begin with. no need to blow the guys block for numbers lol :stirthepot:

Z1 had nothing to do with the overboosting
