Anyone have a built motor yet for FI?

Car hasnt even left the shop, I believe the turbo kit has been on the car for maybe a few weeks running. They had a few issues with the cars fuel cut, bovs leaking, and the clutch.

Monday they had everything fixed and before I was to come get the car they called and said they think the car spun a bearing. Then today they took the oil pan off and you could see the bent rods.

Stats on the car is Greddy TT kit, 8 psi, 507hp

here is the build:
Mazworx-GambitX Greddy TT build - MyG37

Visibly bent? My experience is that rods BEND not to extra HP, but to filling the cyl with fuel (or water). I wonder if there was a leaking injector or something and upon start up--BANG--the piston can't compress the fuel and the rod takes the hit. This will happen at any hp level.

A poor tune would burn the piston, but not bend the rod. Methinks this better be solved or rethunk before another lower end is installed.

Good luck.

Hey Coop,

Yes you can visibly see 2 rods are bent from lookin up into the motor with the oil pans removed. Im still awaiting to hear when the motor will be pulled and taken apart to see what else is wrong, so the car has been sitting for 2 weeks so far.

Hopefully you get squared away soon, then maybe we can compare builds as well. Well, when I get back from this glorious place out in the middle of nowhere..........
