hey whats up marin. yea i dont go out to the races anymore. Damn cops are just hating too much and are pulling u over for no reason at all. im glad that ur representing for the Z community. Keep it alive but always be safe. Yea i hear people talking about ur car saying " damn that z is hella fast" and im like " yuup he did everything right"

 

Bruce thank u so much for your help. Im just so greatful that u happened to be there right when it happened. Definately have Rob check it out. Tuning was not the issue since i know Rob is an excellent tuner and i never messed with the settings after i got my car back.

 

GQ, Bump. Ditto.

Fernando, Sorry to hear about this latest blow up. I sure would like to know what caused it.

 

To be honest i really dont know what caused it. Rob isnt sure either.

 

You guys all know that I tell it like it is. No sugar coating here. Charles posted about his smoking turbos.....and others can share if they want to.

If someone has a private conversation with me, it would be wrong for me to divulge more details. That's all I can say.

 

fernandito how much are you looking to sell the kit for? pm me the price

 

I am confused. You posted the car was running on the out of the box setting earlier in the post. Was the car tuned by Rob or not? If not I would have definatley not trusted greddy's out of the box tune.

 

err, this thread has made me scared of purchasing the Greddy

 

no reason to be afraid if you spend and extra $2000 in parts that do not come with kit

 

somewhat correct.

spazapilot had a TS reflash with PE380 injectors ... he blew his motor..but I forgot the details .. something to do with a boost controller .. not the system itself.

 

This is what I want to know.

Rob is NOT a great tuner if he let a stock mapped greddy TT leave his shop AFTER one already blew up in that form on this exact car.

 

Sorry to hear about your motor. Don't feel too bad, your not the only one to blow two motors, I did too :-) Good luck.

 

The emanage was initialized when i bent a rod the first time. After this Rob put in the stock base map that greddy puts in the emanage. Thanks to etx (he had an unlocked emanage) he was able to give us stock base map. Rob simply just put this in. the car ran great for about 11 months. No problems. So it was not Robs tune.

 

When i purchased the turbo kit Rob did not do the install. It was another shop that didnt specialize in Z's. Rob is not at fault. His shop has done numerous vortech, stillen supercharger installs and plenty of APS installs. His shop is very reputable. Ask anyone here in the norcal section and u will see.

 

Thanks and after this i will be going back to stock form. Is it possible to blow a motor being stock????

 

I know he is a well respected tuner. I have seen his works. I however cannot understand why he would let a stock mapped, un-aftermarket-part-assisted Greddy TT to leave his shop. This is the part I am complaining about. I just don't think a well known and well respected shop like that would be letting cars out of the shop like that.

Not to beat a dead horse, but if you do not pull timing, you are asking for this to happen. I think it is obvious when you look at the number of blown engines that had Greedy TT's or Procharger SC's installed, compared to other types of kits.

I know other kits have had some blown engines, but not the kind of numbers the Greddy and Procharger have produced. I think timing is the most critical part of keeping your engine in one piece. Well, I guess I should say tuning is really the most important component to a safe FI system, this would cover a crappy baseline fuel map and the timing issue....

 

It is possible but mostly due to misuse like overreving but I am sure if there is another way you will find it, sorry not funny but couldn't help myself, good luck.
