sorry to hear man, saw your car shoved in the back of the shop back when I went down to pf to check on the "progress" jeremy supposedly made(didnt even order the parts meanwhile told me the car was about to be tuned). Best of luck bro!

If anything happened 1.5 years later and thousands of miles, I would have to say that it would be either starvation of oil or a major overboosting issue. I would like to see what the cause of the engine failure would be.
The owner of the car posted up about having boost control issues and told me it was overboosting like crazy when he had some other electical issues. If there is anything I can help him out with, please contact me. Thanks.

The problem is we paid for a specific parts to be used and when V T R opened up the motor those parts were not used, heads only had springs installed, stock bearings,lots of issues. And as far as dyno #s they could not have been correct, the build was not capable of producing 670 rwhp .
Also we did have problems way before 4000 miles but P F was out of business when JT went to aam we brought the car there for another tune and issues with the clutch that was installed but it did not help much, it was a bad build. I am not going to get into a big debate with people that have no idea what went on .
I understand being in business in this economy is a tuff deal and their financial troubles lead to problems getting parts, towards the end of the build we visited PF and sent money directly to the vendor to get the kit and other parts to finish up the car.
It was wrong, place wrong time for us. We will have to try and do it again this time at the right place.

Who is pointing fingers? I'm still patiently waiting for answers. I'll remember to record vids of the tear down process.
FYI: I still have vids of my block when I first received it. And no, they are not good ones. In fact, they may very well take the builder out of the automotive performance market for a long time. Could I post the vid on this thread and let it speak for itself? Yes, but I wouldn't do that until I find out exactly what happened. There is always more to the story than you think.

Should be interesting when I contacted J T he dismissed vinnys findings on our motor as they are competitors so vinny was trying to make him look bad .I know vinny for 5 years now and you would be hard pressed to find a more stand up guy he calls it like he sees it ,and the parts that were paid for and not used ,and poor assembelly speaks for it self.
We have started a few threads on my car, but of course they were deleted. The whole ordeal with jt was a nightmare. I can thank my car being sidelined for the past year as well as losing out on a large amount of our money to jt and pf. We will never go to anyone other than vinny and of course our shop SAGE
above are some "cliff notes" so far i guess..........shlt.....i jsut hate seeing guys not only loosing money but dreams as a result of someone elses fail....
please post more info when you can...sage needs his own thread too apparently.
