Someone just posted this on the 350z Facebook page and said it was his buddies. He said this lot has blown 3 different engines and most likely the turbos are bad.

I pulled my turbo after 7,000 miles and it looked absolutely nothing like this lol. You sure it only has 3,000 miles on it?

This is why i posted detailed pictures. The turbos are not blown, but hey that's what paypal is for if for some reason you're unsatisfied, boom all your money back. Not sure what everyone is talking about. The extreme kit comes like that with the internal wastegates welded shut.

the only useful question that has been asked is about the mileage and yes I'm sure.

in regards to the person posting on facebook. i have personally torn apart one of the setups this dude has put together and it was a disaster. as far as how many engines he has blown, he has blown three other peoples engines including one car that was built and shouldnt have been touched but he upped boost without retuning, he also put a 4th on his last leg and he has blown his own engine twice on this kit and both builds had about 50 miles combined on them. he also blew his own engine several times on the standard aps kit he sold(the car i pulled apart). he is known for doing stuff like driving without air filters, not cleaning stuff after blowing a engine, driving untuned, jb welding cam shafts together after breaking them and then trying to sell them, attempting and failing at welding turbos to manifolds because bolts are broken or he dosnt want to buy gaskets.(the engine i pulled apart was missing most gaskets, a couple he tried grey rtv on which resulted in stripped and broken bolts)

the kit looks in bad shape because he has rebuilt the engine so many times so while it dosnt have many miles it has been on several engine and has sat alot.


If a buyer still wants it go for it but all the information should be presented because if you buy it without and try to get your money back he will promptly ignore all your messages, block you on anything he can, and with the four people he screwed already he skipped town when they planned a "meet up" with him. he tried to sell the car complete and has been trying to offload on facebook but gave up after everyone put him on blast.

if you do buy the first thing i would do is rebuild the turbos, there is probably bearing material in them from previous spun bearings in the engine.

the amount of false information in that post is ridiculous. the only true part is that yes this kit came from a blown engine.

anyone who thinks im lying can just ask and i can get you in contact with about a dozen people mayby more who know this guy personally and have had stuff worked on by him and can corroborate everything ive said. i dont know him personally just his work and its been horrible, he promised my customer he would help him with repairs then blocks his phone number, blocked him on face book and when he was coming home from leave skipped town to cali.

here is the video we made of the car i had to pull apart after this dude got his hands on it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbSH...ature=youtu.be
mind you in the video this dude was driving the car around for a few hundred miles without air filters and thats what destroyed the turbos, owner didnt find out till the car arrived to hawaii without filters and had to threaten to send his dad to this guys house in order to get him to ship the filters and osiris uprev the owner had purchased to him as well as a couple other parts. oh yah in the kit he sold him a "authentic" hks bov was faker than pamela anderson dont remember if that is in the video or not.

i have no reason to lie, ive been paid regardless, money that i wouldnt have been if he knew what he was doing. one of the moderators here has seen this dudes amazing ability to destroy cars and car parts first hand, kingbaby. im simply informing people to buy with extreme caution if they do buy from this guy because people scamming others like this guy goes is what makes people less trusting and hurts the marketplace.

hell the dude told the owner about the messed up motor mount and said he could fix it with a wheel bearing(dafuq?) but didnt do anything with it.

So paypal me my money back then if that's easy and ari, and nick would like there's back too.

Cameron Lewis also told me he was going to do whatever he can to make this better. He then blocked me on Facebook, along with everyone else who's car he damaged. Nothing false about what was stated. He blew the motor with this kit because he turned the boost up to 18 psi yet told his tuner he was running 12 psi. I know who tuned the car. If you have any questions or don't belive me pm me and I'll show you even more proof. I'm sure he will delete the thread. Cameron has yet to do anything to fix anything he did.

So the OP (Trapt) is the one blowing everyone's engine, or is Trapt the last poor guy to come into possession of this doomed kit?

he is the one blowing everyones engine, he duped them into it by telling everyone he was a nissan master tech, he did work at a nissan dealership but he was just the hourly oil change guy. he will probably pull the same thing where he is now to people who dont know about him only to find out later, although probably a different platform since he is trying to offload all his vq stuff.

His real name is Cameron Lewis the op. Also has another screen name that he uses on other forums.

this kit he is selling was one he bought from a guy who already had a turbo kit iirc. He sold me his standard aps kit and turned around and bought this one for less money. Once I have more time I will post conversations I have had with people that have told me what he has done in the past, and what he's done to my car without my knowledge. (I.e. driving over 45 mins south of where he lives, being drunk and driving my car and telling me someone stole it, not following through with whag I asked of him, doing 150mph on the highway without my knowledge) all while I'm 5,000 miles away in hawaii serving the country. I assume you didn't know I have people looking out for me, also most of my friends are car people including my father, and he knew people you worked with. But that's enough of that.

Cameron Lewis aka trapt is the person who is blowing motors to include his own, on multiple occasions. He used to work at pohanka Honda in woodbridge va. He was also fired from that job. After some time (he told me he had $5 to his name) he then worked at jiffy lube. He has now moved to California on his parents money and I'm still in the process of tracking down exactly where he is. This is not a threat on your life or anyone in your family. But I am tracking you for legal reasons. I haven't forgotten about this and I never will until we handle this the legal way. It's not hard to find people if you ask the right people. So jerryd87 posted on here to make sure no one buys this from him. I have also posted this in multiple groups I am a part of on facebook. Glws because if I see it posted, you will not be selling it.
