how well the tune is.

 

The max temp I got in the EGT was 1200 F but again I installed my EGT at the end of the DP!!! (on room around the headers.lool)

 

Alex,

I wasn't pushing it, I was only running 8.5psi.
The rattle you talking about was from shifting (the cam mic magnified that)
The check engine light was from P 1078 code witch I fixed (changed the Exhaust valve timing control position sensor (bank 1)).

Thanks any way

 

In a nutshell, get a tune...you can't 100% rely on a reflash on engines that will have varying amount of differences, particularly when you're boosting...

 

Sorry to hear, that is complete disaster. You ALWAYS have to verify a flash, no two cars are EVER the same, so a flash on one car with exact mods on another car might not have the same results, its just how it is. Do you know if the motor was knocking at any moment or have anything to monitor knock?

My advice, if you dont have a tuner close to you, then learn how to tune yourself. That way you dont have to depend on a flash and be pushing the car hard blindly without knowing if its about to blow.

For how long did you have this setup?

 

I have never heard the car knocking, although I'm running open dumps (waiting for the re-circulating tubes to be send from GTM for almost a year now and I still don't get them but that's a different story)

thinking about ordering the GTM HR Full Return Fuel System but afraid of the loooong wait!!! (although they make topnotch products)

Had the setup for the last 3-4 months 9k kilometers.

 

You don't offer advice on how to further insure the reliability of the motor, such as a build and tune from a professional? I'm hoping your referring to a written guarantee, and not a customer querying with concerns.

A real tune might not have guaranteed this wouldn't have happened, but it might have prevented or delayed it. Look on the bright side -- this should nudge you into making more power and pushing it harder after your build

 

The good thing that I was shopping around for wheels,body kit and suspension. so I have most of the budget to rebuild the engine, just need some nice discounts here and there for the the rest of the stuff

 

rebuild, its gonna run you 3X wheels + body kit + suspension. get ready for sticker shock time.

 

I got $8000 for now.

IPP STG 1 shortblock + ARP VQ35 L19 Head & Main Stud Kit + HR Oil Pump + Gasket kit + fixing the turbos and heads + fuel system + shipping

 

Sorry to see this happening.

was there any sign before this have happened!!!
what is the interval of oil change!!!! and when you do oil change, do you check your oil for any metal parts!!!!.

can you give us a more clear picture. i am in dubai and we can say its the same climate.

for me, i change the oil every 3000 KM not Miles. and i do have A/F ratio gauge, but am on a APS single turbokit+ Unichip tune,

am sure GTM will offer all the help possible, SAM never let me down in anything i asked him for and he was more than helpful. also his team and his products are Topnotch.

good luck buddy

 

Doing the oil changes every 3k-4k KM.and never notice any metals in the oil.

here is huge pics: just change the **** with f-u-c-k

And yea Sam is a great guy.

 

I see.. well, you never know. Obviously, this is an event that was caused by detonation, so, we can narrow it down to a few things.


Too much timing for the fuel being used at the current C/R and/or boost pressure

Fuel pump, or internal regulator problem, injector problem, or debris in the fuel system

Fuel map not set properly for given injector/MAF combo

Heat soak


In any event, I'd be looking for the cause, before I went and dumped 8-10K on a built motor. Good luck with your project!

what went wrong is that the tune that u get is not good for KSA or even kuwait or any other place out the US cuz of the Differences in ٍsea level.

any change in the weather will affect. ...

any way good luck

 

wow, sorry op. sub'd for the rebuild

 

Attributing the failure to the tune is pure conjecture. The stock ECU corrects for environmental changes and Osiris can alter all of the tables. Given that Sam and Jared (both outstanding tuners) came up with the base tune, I would have full confidence in a UpRev reflash. Of course using the supplied cable to perform some periodic data logging under different environmental conditions to confirm AFR and timing are dialed in would be prudent.

Limitations of a reflash (no boost control or monitoring) obviously needs to be addressed with at least a gauge if not some external failsafe.

I think it is far more likely that the HR motors have variance in tolerances and just like the DE, some last longer than others when operated beyond spec.

 

With all due respect for what u said and for GTM and uprev, but this problem is allready known in here.

still even if the flash is ok, its a flash.

allot of this happend here for cars made reflashs.

thats way i told 350z-900whp to fine tune his car when it gets to kuwait.

 

Certainly a GREAT deal depends on the quality of the reflash tune, but from what I have seen of Osiris vs say something like the Haltech, while there is no boost control or overboost protection per se, many of the other tables are all present. There is full and complete control of timing and fueling if you know what you are doing (and Sam are Jared are more than just competent tuners).

Sure the stock ECU does not have the resolution of a standalone and forget about knock control. Tuning for FI shouldn't come anywhere near the knock threshold, especially with a reflash. Though I'll give you that standalones are probably better for dialing in knock control for FI than a reflash. No argument there.

The fact is with a high compression stock motor + FI, there will be some greater risks. You tell me how you would discriminate something like overheating (coolant leak), versus a bad tank of gas (low octane), versus mechanical rod failure, versus a poor reflash. End result = too much stress for the stock motor and catastrophic failure.

 

The price some people pay to play.

Its unfortunate but all part of the game.

Hope the future plans and $$$ to be spent work out better than this.

I actually know of a GTM car with a reflash that has been running 500whp strong for a little while now, so Im not gonna go blame GTM for this - can you believe it?
