Yes I know but I remember somewhere peter said they had to change the map for that engine and it had to be specified when the kit was bought.

 

Does Altered Atmosphere actually have a high rate of blown motors, or is it just that they're popular so they seem to blow more? From reading the board for a while, they seem to have more blown motors than anyone else regardless of kit...

 

Nevermind found it. Looks like that did ya in.

 

xxlbeers they have had there fair share blown motors. This goes back to the begining when ati first came out.

 

and then it goes to who on the east coast can tune the UNICHIP and wala.. im ****ed

 

This is getting very interesting:

1) Lean tune from 2700-5000 rpm.

2) Install completed by shop other than authorized APS Dealer

3) Shop that does tune has "fair share" of blown motors on various F.I. kits

4) Most everything else that could have gone wrong with car has-
Murphy's Law in serious effect.

 

If mrc doesn't tune the unichip then I would take the car to grd and have tuan do it.

 

Haha reminds me of when I blew my motor and I had a tow truck come and the tow truck died right before my eyes.

 

im getting a utec instead of unichip

 

paranormal...karma baby...ur just having a break in your karma....keep ur head up its all gonna get better man....after being over there doing what you are doing for our country it's only just to say that you are in for some great times...haha...you hear me man? hahah

 

by the way man..we've talked but i forgot ur name man?

 

can someone tell me if my baseline dyno is messed up? the one before the tune? were things hairy? i mean if it was a install issue wouldnt it of showed up there? the car ran great to my knowlege and it def was a blast to drive..

my name is jimmy

 

I'll bet a shiny nickel that AA added back more timing (i.e. took out less timing than the OOTB tune).

sorry to hear about it man..if it makes you feel any better, i have you beat!...blew a stock motor, broke 3 pistons in a forged motor...

and gurgen holds the record...(i'll let him share if he wants to re-live the past)

 

It's very hard to see the lines the way you have it posted.

 

sorry to hear Jimmy

 

jimmy i just pm'ed you. i heard xxtuning tunes unichip and one of their guys just came back from training on the system. i like the direction your'e going with the utec. sounds like a great system. i had heard about your car from some guys in the area but did'nt know you had a aps tt. once i get my jic i'll probably head to xx in conn. cause they have a dynapack, which is the best way to tune this system. hope to see your car out there soon and good luck.

 

Jimmy- dude, so sorry to hear- I know what a pain in the *** it is to try to mod a car from overseas. one thing I dont quite follow is how AA managed to tune the car if they cant unlock the unichip?

if I decide to go with the APS, Im just going to ship my car to Tuan at GRD. $600 for shipping is small price to pay for an established unichip tuner.

 

Was that the guy with the broken oil sqirters caused by the Arias pistons?

 

Jimmy,
I just talked to Jason, and apparently your car was running 3Qts of oil low It sounds like rod end bearing failure do to lack of oil.Most likely you had a leak on an oil line that after 5000 miles got bad and went so low it failed.This is their preliminary assumption..They think the tunning and the fact it was the 300hp motor had little to do with it,but are leaning more towards an inexperienced installer..
