His sig says Utec installed and tuned by MRC, so it seems so.

Pay for the teardown to see what did in the motor

there is no reason for mike to waste his money on a tear down when it has nothing to do with the tune.. is anyone listening to me? UTEC drives the car after 3 PSI of boost.. so unless the OP changes his story that he was just curising at 45 mph.. why would mike waste his money?

better yet.. mike .. i think my car drives like **** because i had work wheels.. i heard Iforged is better.. buy me a new set of IForged please..

so what you are saying is, a tune will ONLY cause a motor to grenade while in boost. A tune can NEVER blow a motor in vaccum and damage while boosting in previous runs will NEVER show in a vaccum situation and cause an engine to blow?

my point is the tune is in the UTEC.. they tune can't affect the motor if the UTEC isn't in use As much as you guys want to throw Julian under the bus, this is a weak as$ attempt.. and besides Jermaine from TurboXS.. Julian was one of the top UTEC tuners in the country

Cylinder pressures are so low under vacuum compared to boost that I think the actual failure would be highly unlikely to be tune or UTEC related (as noted by several). Sounds like rod failure from metal fatigue: heavy load, low rpm pull and clank! Now it's possible that some aspect of the tune or build contributed to the more rapid fatigue over time. Bottom line, we all know stock DE rods are weak.

There is no need to throw him under the bus anymore...he did it to himself. The sooner we forget about him, the better this community will be.

does this post below answer your question? and don't play me like i'm stupid.. you know you take every effort to take stabs at Julian you get a chance to.. and for the record no one bashes Julian for the work he did.. they bash him for his online personality.. so you can keep your personal beef out of conversations that have to do with his work.. you mad at Julian? call him up and tell him .. tell him how you feel.. don't try to discredit his work.. and don't try to talk to me like i'm 10 years old.. i know what the fck you're doing

in addition to that Raj.. my thought is oil starvation.. if the OP cleans the motor up and their are no holes in the block.. it might point to oil starvation

I dont think that tuning was the problem... My car ran good for over a year... Julian did a good job, and I think he was a great UTEC tuner)

Weather it's ben crazy so no time yet to look under neat the car...

Thanks to all the people ho is helping me out with this

and to member ho send me PMs about the engines for sale.. I din't make my mind yet about witch one to get

I had plenty of problems with his personal work on my car. Consider yourself lucky you havn't had problems with your car...yet. Don't talk to ME like i'm 10 when you have no idea what I went through with him. He already knows exactly how I feel about him and his work, no need to speak to him ever again.


Say what you want, you were the one (dpm@mrc right?) trying to defend his shoddy work last summer that turned out to be no temp corrections set in the UTEC map and a vband that leaked exhaust straight into my car. I don't expect you to change your mind, thats probably why you are his only friend left on here. Just don't tell me I am in the wrong for being pissed about the time and money I lost there.

Sorry to see ur thread going wrong way..but if you r plan to trade in, pick cheapest stock motor.

doug

iTrader: (5)

as i said.. you have a personal issue.. and you're bringing it here.. you want to express yourself on your situation? create your own thread.. pissing on Julian is not going to help the OP because its pretty obvious the issue isn't the tune or what Julian did.. create your own thread or move on.

yeah i was dpm@mrc .. go ask rome how much money or benefit i got from that name.. go ask what it did for me.. i'm sure he will be happy to explain it to you.. and when you find out.. you will understand why that name has no place in this thread either

fair enough

I am interested in that story...for another time then.


back on topic

go-fast

i shortened your quote to focus on what i thought was important:

1. a poorly tuned utec will harm a motor,when it decides to let go is up to fate.....5mph 50mph,in boost or out.we all know the ill effects of detonation and it's impact on the bottom end.

2. julian.....top utec tuner?now you might have a horse in this race but let's be realistic.julian has been a part time tuner for a few years,with no experience before that.how many utecs do you think he actually tuned?let's give him credit for 15.....maybe 20 utecs tops,that's not enough to even get your feet wet and how many are still on the road?so your saying that a cop with no mechanical experience,who decided to play speed shop for a couple years is a top tuner?

i would guess that the other vendors on here that recieved countless "help me" calls from poo boy would argue that he is hardly a top tuner.i would call him a wannabe who got lucky 50% of the time.

lol @ you. 15 utec tops lol. mrc was one of the tri-state area shops that was primarely focused on 350z/gs. find out facts before you speak out of ur a$$ lol. and yes utec and fcons was his specialty since he was one of the dealers for these products in the tri-state area. did i mention that means 3 states?? 15 utecs lol. shame on you bashin people without knowing them. Doug i never met the guy or seen him at any meets or show but we share the same vew on Julian, his mouth would get him in trouble but i would let him or his mechanics tune or deal with my car over alot of people. i dont care for his mouth. im paying for tune/work on my car and thats what i resieved while MRC was still in business.

go-fast

just about everything julian did he ran here and posted,you need to get your facts straight.doug still talks to him why don't you ask him to fact check how many utecs he installed.

Come on guys.. lets keep it on topic. Not helping the OP here. I have driven the car and have been on his car on boost and out of boost. The car ran like OEM. I doubt it it was the tune. Lets not start another " who did what to Julian "

doug

iTrader: (5)

if you're so curious.. either call julian or jermaine and ask them about his expertise with UTEC's.. and 15? come on man... Julian maybe tuned 15 UTEC's in one day at a BBQ.. but overall? at least you could get your facts straight before you throw a number out there like that.

So let me ask you this? just because someone had a prior profession that makes them less qualified to tune a car? You should go look at Sharif and Todd's first posts on this board.. they were asking alot of noob questions, they had no idea what they were doing.. then they learned how to tune..

Just as AthenG and Gothchick will post.. tuning a car isn't rocket science.. it just takes alot of time and energy to get it right... and quite fankly based on the amount of people who have blown up Z's and G's.. there is no question if Julian is one of the top UTEC Tuners in teh country.. you think its bullsh!t? ask anyone on this forums who actually has been here and knows what the fck they are talking about.. they will tell you Julian was an a-hole.. but when it came to tuning UTEC's.. he did a damn good job.. ask Sam.. ask Sharif.. say what you want about Julian, but you can't take away his tuning ability
