Anyone have a built motor yet for FI?

RCZ

My god, give them a blowjob while youre at it.

Sorry to hear about your misfortune. This is pretty scary with the technical issues you dealt with prior to engine failure.

Force feeding is a gamble, period. The only times I rev beyond 4k at wide throttle is during "testing" lol. I'd shat bricks if my engine goes kaput during normal driving. Therefore, the only real intense workout my engine is getting is getting dyno tuned.

Hopefully, You get everything straightened out and put down some serious power after forged internals.....

Hey man! I was only stating the facts. Isn't it true? You're such a hater!

JDMFairlady21

once track season slows down a bit, our engine builder should have time to get my engine together

bent rods @ 500rwhp is crazy. havent been browsing the forums a lot lately, but nismo370's gtm tt stg1 @ 12psi is still holding strong.

Then what's the point? If that's true, it seems like it would have been a lot more fun to just stay NA and spin it out.

theres so many other factors besides how much horsepower that affect the resilience of rods in an engine. timing, air/fuel ratio etc. the whole 'safe for a certain hp' thing assumes the tune is safe. If the tuner puts your car on the dyno and leans the **** of the motor with high enough boost levels (which actually don't need to be that high on a high compression motor) then you'll have knock and possibly damage, ie, what happened to your car.

so yea, the fact that you weren't making as much hp as other vq37's, doesn't automatically mean you were safe.

DIGItonium

Well it's for the fun factor. I'm just saying it would stink for the engine to fail while casually being driven.

Well they are willing to fix the car and put it back to factory, but I have to wait 2 to 3 months and that means 8 months in the car world. NOT gonna happen

weiboy718

what? What about Your turbo kit? Are they removing that too?

GambitX

right now guys i need a plan or I need ideas to who has rebuilt there motors with what and what compression. I need to call sam at GTM in a little bit to see what he has ready to go or if he has ideas for me.

GambitX

no they want to just fix whatever is wrong in the motor and put factory parts back in it. A factory Rod is 60 there cost and a cardillo rod is like 200 each. So they are trying to save there money here.

Jeffblue

well i can see your expectation that they would rebuilt your motor to factory spec without additional charge. However i dont think they have an obligation to pay for forged rods/pistons and give you a 'built' motor that you never had in the first place. They should rebuild your motor, and if you pay for the upgraded parts they should work out a fair price since they blew your motor

Mr.Squeeze

You can get a set of eagle rods shipped for 450$ also you can go with K1 rods they cost about $600. Then there are the gtm rods I think they cost $1000. You can also get a set off Wiseco pistons for $700 of the shelf 9:1 compression that will be good for your turbo set up.
