Zex kit install 100 shot

V8Killer · 05-12-2012, 04:24 PM

Right now I just had to walk away from the car. I don't know what else to do with the vehicle, no smoke was coming out. Now I am thinking about what to do, it's looking like just pulling the motor out and having it built.

Really?! This motor had to have a fault already in it, because it would be very hard to believe you did this while just using a 100 shot unless the car was very very lean.

That is an assumption we are wondering. Hard to believe that this happened.

tanamerra · 05-12-2012, 07:57 PM

Feel for you man. Hope it is something minor and not a major deal. Keep us posted.

V8Killer · 05-12-2012, 08:03 PM

I'm getting ready to deploy and well since we have to pull the motor out anyway I just may have it built.

Ya pretty pissed now I'm just gonna beef the motor up.

Compdoc777 · 05-12-2012, 11:25 PM

Yeah those spark plugs looked bad. The parts that blew off probably bent and damaged the valves and a valve seals along with the pistons. Motor rebuild time or just head work you never know.

Neo187H · 05-12-2012, 11:35 PM

Sucks man, sorry to hear. Any idea who you're going to have rebuild the motor? I'd have to throw in a suggestion for Motion Lab, especially considering you've already delt with thrm.

V8Killer · 05-12-2012, 11:38 PM

I'm gonna talk to them on Monday, not sure if they are ready for this but we will see.

RyanWest · 05-13-2012, 05:45 PM

damn dude. cant see how a 100 shot screwed it up that bad unless parts of the plugs got launched into the motor. sorry man

Please let us know what happened when you figure it out OP.. A lot of us were going for you!

Some motors just don't like nitrous and I wonder if the way the cams work in our car has something to do with it or do we just have motors out there with flaws I am having my motor rebuild after I lost compression in 2 pistons doing a baseline run with my stillen kit and my a/f was dead on

That's terrible, it looks as if you did everything right, just seems to be bad luck. Well look at it this way you going to have a hell of a nice motor when its built.

cc370z · 05-21-2012, 10:26 AM

I'm really interested in what the outcome is for the OP. I was really thinking that I was going to go the nitrous route. it could be something with our motors... I know a couple of guys that have run nitrous on their 350z and g35 for years with no problems.
