when you said "they do not" that would be when you said it. you are letting a personal beef with SOHO cost your customer an engine that everyone knows wont last. I hope he has deep enough pockets to do it twice.

And it's not a customer. He is a good friend who is in this with me. I am paying for half the cost so we can retry the resend. If I feel we need a different route I'll go mazworks.

That's a lot of money to waste knowing it won't hold. Should go Mazworx from the start and not waste the time or money. But hey, it's only half your dime to toss in the trash.

Hey Everyone! I'm the owner of the Z that the Rotrex kit was developed on. Just to clear things up, during the Dyno run, when we had coolant coming out of the overflow hose, it was Aaron that told me to pull the car off the dyno. I wanted to keep going and do another pull but he convinced me that it would be best to pull the car off and build the motor before we get a major head lift and cause damage to the motor. Eugene also did warn me and explained all the issues we could potentially see by putting this much power to the motor along with pushing 22psi on a stock block. I was the one that instructed him to keep dialing things in as he did give me the warning. As his customer, he is going to tell me the potential issues but he will still continue to provide service if i request it knowing the risk of blowing the motor. These guys actually probably saved me from blowing up my motor because i got a little power hungry! i'm glad these two did their job by telling me to pull the car off the Dyno.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and tell you that if you were pushing coolant, you already lifted the heads. I'll wager that if you tested the coolant, you'd find evidence of combustion in the coolant. Inspect the block thoroughly, you'll find flame cutting on the cylinder walls. Good luck.

Good possibility it will look like this. If so, that motor will go in the garbage.

^^^^^That was an 18k mistake, just for the new engine built off my original long block. No R&R, cleaning oil lines, or re-Tune money. That is also not including the 12k I already had in that engine.

So before these go on sale will there be any results that don't end in a failed motor? (That sounded way snottier than intended). But I'd like to see some 93 results on a stock motor.

I'm really interested in this kit, but lack of longevity on any cars is making me a touch nervous

I'm kinda nervous as well. But I would be nervous (in the beginning at least) with ANY FI setup. It's a lot of money and if something goes wrong, even more money. Big money.

However, I've been wanting a solid supercharger setup for many, many months now, and for me, this is the one. Even if it means I'm amongst the very, very first to try it.

My engine failed on me last year (rod knock) so I had it rebuilt completely (using upgraded parts here and there). Lots of money there already. Fingers crossed I don't run into more trouble down the road. Aiming for a somewhat conservative tune, I suppose you could say. Around 525 whp (600ish at the crank). Plan on keeping the car for many, many years to come (third car, not a daily driver, summer only).

Yeah, I wish that the focus was on a general, turn-key install.
