My motor grenaded.

Man that sucks. Truly sorry to hear about all you had to go through with GTM, and now this.

And this is why it's becoming more and more difficult for me to trust a shop with my car.

after the build up i bet they dont respond in here.

Sorry about your situation but this is the very reason my NA motors stay NA.

He had to know this was coming. After I talked to him yesterday morning his attitude was that it was my baby now and if I wanted him to do a rebuild he'd give me a break. At that point there wasn't any reason to talk, yell or threaten as his response would of went downhill from there. I would have just gotten my blood pressure up for nothing, it was already up when I called bigtime.

I'm thinking Outside the box here. could it not be the install but faulty components? The pieces came from gtm after a lot of nagging. For all we know, that kit may have been a rebuilt rma one. Perhaps even a junk one sent out to finish a deal. I'm just saying. I don't think there is or ever will be a final verdict on who and what is really responsibility.

The only problem with the components besides being late was a faulty BPV. Most of the kit is outsourced parts, mostly brackets and bolts are engineered by GTM

BTW....Bobby is reading/responding to the thread now. I see his screen name down below

I couldn't agree more gtm does not care about anyone they sell to these days and is already known for selling used damaged used parts. Getting back to bobby at vsr, I would have tried to remain calm before going on a witch-hunt and allowing him to voice his opinion of his side before completely bashing. He is going to be posting up the dyno's and logs today. Just curious but how much were you beating on the car after you got it back? Maybe I should have started a thread about how z1 blew my motor too since it seemed to run fine before I even got there for a tune.. Going fi is a risk on any car not already setup for it.

There were no used/damaged parts in my order, the stories I've heard when this happens is it's VERY apparent when the package is opened that the item was damaged/used, it hasn't happened very often. I'm not on a witch-hunt as you call it I simply explained my situation and Bobby is welcome to state his opinion on what happened. Posting charts right now is irrelevant for the most part for the simple reason I don't believe the dyno sheet he gave me wasn't modified in some way so posting more of the same proves nothing, at least to me. Please don't imply through suggestion that I 'beat' on the car when I got it. It ran like sh*t so there's no point in beating a dead horse if it aint going anywhere. Your situtation is MUCH more different than mine what so ever. Sounds like you talked to him, tell him he's wasting his time posting fraudulent charts.

FYI PRS in Sanford has an extra VQ37VHR longblock in their shop they are looking to sell, I also trust them much more than RevWorks with my Z if youre looking for another shop.

Plus, the dead motor wasn't the first fuckup he made. He fumbled his way through the entire install. People install that kit in their garage no problems but homie can't manage it with a shop?

If the motor was mistake #1 this would be a different conversation. But the more mistakes you make the less benefit of the doubt you get.

Will have to keep that in mind, thanks.

I am not a very smart guy and certainly not with a wrench, but isn't there a certain amount of risk one accepts by chasing higher hp in any car?

I know, the question doesn't help.

If this were a chat room, I'd wait for the OP to be away before asking. :\

I hope you get this sorted. That's a lotta money and heartache that I certainly wouldn't be happy about if I were in your shoes.

Chuck33079 · 05-21-2014, 10:56 AM

Makes you wonder about this one they built- 2010 Nothing Sport or Nismo about it For Sale - Turbo 533whp

MMC Racing · 05-21-2014, 11:01 AM
