Me too!!! I feel bad for all of you that have had FI motors blow up.

Eh I knew I was playing with fire to begin with so it was bound to happen y'all. I'm already well on my way to getting started to get things back together. Block has been machined its ready to go. I've got all my internals/gaskets heads and main studs ordered I'm just waiting three more weeks yet on pistons from CP before everything ships up my way then ill be down probably 2 weeks or so while the turbos are at Forced Performance getting HTA 2868s.
Shooting to start her up sometime in the end of July but I'm betting it will be mid August honestly.
Squeeze were your MAFs starting to run out when they tuned you for 630 on pump?? I'm just wondering kinda what the whp ceiling is for the Stock MAFs on e85. Talking to TT370z and he said 600 but that seems really low. Especially since I don't recall hearing of any issues for you djtodd or face glide to get to 650. If I have to choke down the extra 700$ Ill do what I gotta do but not if I don't have too. Shooting for about 780whp. I think you and I will pretty much be neck and neck for top dog spot on the east coast when you get your build finished

Sorry to hear man, but I have to say, it's very refreshing to see someone moving on so quickly after such tragedy. You obviously know what you're doing and what you got into. Best of luck on the build

I didn't even test the limits of the stock MAF's I just upgraded them because my goal with my first build was around 700-750 WHP. I just knew the stock MAF's wouldn't get me that far.

780WHP come on now you can't stop there might as well go for 800

This is a risk we all take hell I hurt my stock engine with 4000 miles on a brand new car cylinder number 2 piston piston ring gave out. My car now has 26K on it built engine.

You're the pinnacle of the kind of longevity I hope to see out of my motor. Yes I actually am shooting for 800 wheel it's just a nice number IMO fast but not over bearing the where the car is no longer enjoyable to drive on the streets similar to the effect you get with a 1000+whp mkIV, but I'm afraid with a single 485 and 1100cc FIC injectors I'm not quite going to make it there. Turbos are acclaimed by Forced Performance to be good for 460whp per turbo after the rebuild so ill be good on air flow for sure. Internals will have me good for the power. But fuel system has me second guessing. Originally I was going to stop at 650 wheel but I see it rather pointless to not at least take SOME advantage of the money I'm pouring into this car. Honestly I had over looked the MAFs until I got to sitting around thinking about that "1000whp 370z" and how they ran into issues so I figured if anyone you'd be the guy to ask.

Thank you for the kind words JAR moving on from the experience is really all I can do you know? I could sit here and throw a B*tch fit on the forums all day whine and cry about how someone needs to replace my short block or I could just take it like a man hope that dynosty hears of this; gets a wake up call to at least attempt to change my view on their entire entourage(as right now I'm no longer impressed with how they do business by any means.) or cut me some sort of something. I am assembling the block myself labor does me no good. Free rods and a new set of HKS 8 range plugs would make me smile but hell lets be honest I'd be happy just getting a call back telling me where my damned pistons are!

Don't let a couple bad experiences ruin your thoughs guys! Your motors could run for years with no issues at all! My dream car has always been a boosted Z(ever since I watched Tokyo drift lol) so ill stop at nothing to have this car on the road where I want it so I can enjoy it again. It's just another bump in the road. Forgot about pictures last night so there are some things I tentatively want to add to the thread

Short Block tear down Pictures
Build cost(because everyone's ALWAYS curious. For some of you this will be an eye opener.
Short block cleanup and Prep pictures
Short block reassembly pictures POSSIBLY DIY???(dependent of how much of a hurry I am to get the car back on the road)

I was hoping some good news had happened between when we talked earlier and you posting this on the tuner/shop front, but it seems that they've only gotten worse. Hopefully they pull their heads from their asses soon and make good on their end of the deal on their motor Hal popped.

I mean, we're all big boys. We know the risks boosting a NA motor. But it's the lies and shady behavior from a lot of the shops and tuners that gets to me.

Mr.Squeeze

Thanks for the compliment

I do think you will need more than a single 485 pump to reach 800whp on E85.

Also what 1000whp 370z you talking about ? I have never seen this car at that much power yet.
