Fast Intentions Stage 2 TT build by MA-Motorsports.

I will have to re-do my intercooler also. It's too damn small. IAT's at Pocono were 160 deg and my car leaned out at 13.5 AFR on E90. The the AFR should have been 10.5 on E85. It was cool at Pocono that day. 68-70 deg.

For anyone worried about my engine, Mark at Mazworx has got me covered. When he takes it apart, he will see if I had a tuning issue. It will be obvious. If that is the issue, The repair bill will be on me. SOHO sure as crap won't cover it. All good, sometimes you have to spend a little money to find out how people are. It's cheaper over the long run. Mark has been a stand up guy. No issues on his front but he can't control some things. I would do business with him again in a heartbeat. I can't say the same about SOHO. That is a H E double Hockey stick No!

I should have posted this stuff a long time ago. I was trying to be nice. Now everybody knows. SOHO can say whatever they want. I don't give a crap. Last year was a total disaster with my car. I will get it fixed up. I am not done.

Spooler

So, all the little SOHO groupies can kiss my big old butt. They are not worth a crap.

Spooler

If you have questions, I will answer them. Just post them.

Catch, pitch, or both?

I have already bought a brand new main engine harness from Nissan for my car. I will post that disaster later. SOHO trying to figure out how to install a coolant sensor and be able to log it with Ecutek. I thought they already knew how to do it. Welp, they didn't. Never had any major issues with my car until I picked it up from them. Ever since, It has had major issues. I replaced both banks sensor 1's thinking that was the issue. Welp, it was not. I have installed new plugs, etc. That's when I ordered a main engine harness from Nissan. I will install it when I pull the engine.

Spooler

Ah, I got screwed.

I have been sitting back trying to figure out what to do. A VR38 swap is looking good at the moment. MA-Motorsports has done it before on drift cars. It is right in there wheel house. The question is, do I want to do it. I have to start over.

Spooler

By the way, My tune was garbage from the get go from SOHO. The transient throttle response was garbage. I always had a stumble at 2800rpm's or so rolling into the throttle. It would go lean and then pig rich. The car would buck. The transient throttle response absolutely sucks. The fueling tables were not right. I got logs of it too. I tried to have Nick fix it. Still had it. It is the most frustrating thing ever. I never had this issue with Vince's tune. Vince tuned my car twice and it was perfect. That's what I expect and the dang guy freaking delivered.

Spooler

Here Nick, some training for ya free of charge.

My wife thinks SOHO took me out on purpose. I don't know if they did or didn't, but it sure looks suspicious. One thing is for sure, they had a ton of skin in the
game and lots to gain if I was gone.

Spooler

I sold 15 of those SOHO intake manifolds for 2500 dollars each. That is $30,000. You would think I could have got that Janky spacer without too much hassle. Oh heck NO!!!!! They couldn't even sell the dang things before our group buy. They should have gave me a new intake manifold machined properly. I couldn't even get the Janky spacer crap. They installed it. They didn't notice it all over the freaking valve cover.

Spooler

I am not done. SOHO didn't put me out. They just pissed me off. That's all. I am going to take a sledgehammer to that POS and then piss on it. Yeah, that is going on Instagram.

Was the intercooler one of the Soho versions that they sell separately on their site that are "said" to be upgrades to the BP intercoolers?

I'm not one to talk smack either way since my only experience with Soho was my Coolerworx that I purchased from them. Shipping was quick but I had to figure out the install myself. But hey... it benefitted everyone else, yeah?

That being said: it would raise suspicion (to me) when you think about it... everyone knows how well Mazworx builds engines, yet their first high profile VQ37 engine build encountered issues that "could" be attributed to a competing company (who is also known for high profile VQ37 builds) that also worked on and tuned the same vehicle (to include tuning), who has the potential to lose business should the aforementioned builder's engine run incident free in the 1000+ range.... just speculating, not blaming, insinuating, or anything like that. I hope you come back stronger than ever bro whether VQ, VR, VK, SR, LS, JZ or what-have-you.
