Need constructive advice from experienced peeps
perfect example here too. if you dont expect problems then you shouldnt be modding a car period. eventually they all go, letting go in under 1k miles is a **** builder or tuner though
theres plenty of people out there who dont have issues, like ive said from our previous conversations ive built my engine myself and push it hard(not atm since waiting on software but when i drive it), contrary to midz's comment there is nothing magical about the vq that makes it so its not to ment to be boosted thats a comment from someone who really has no idea on how to build anything. if a shop is having issues building the vq35 they will have issues with any engine, some engines might be a little more forgiving due to say iron block because they expand less then aluminum but that just shows the shop has no idea what they are doing and cannot account for such things, they are pretty much just throwing parts together and hoping it will work. ive said it before and ill say it again i would put the rest of the money i make the rest of my life that 95% of vq busted engines is 100% the tuner or the engine builders fault and has absolutely nothing to do with the engine family, a engine is a engine.
im not one to pay to do something but if i were to pay someone other then myself to do something(afterall i dont own a shop lol at least not yet) it would only be sound performance, dynosty, or vinny ten racing. those 3 have shown that they know what they are doing across multiple platforms and show results. i can tell you from dealing directly with dynosty i have no complaints, can also tell you dealing with vinny ten a little he is very opinionated. he wouldnt build me a engine just because i told him i would definitely be running meth on the street for more power on a street tune.
think we discussed it before but you were running a ati or a fluidamper correct?

I have asked him numerous times to put me in contact with those that are running this kit in the same application, road race/lapping, to date he is only now stating ONE individual and I have yet to hear of any others.
Aside from the build issues, THIS KIT IS NOT FOR THOSE THAT DO ROAD COURSE OR LAPPING. PERIOD. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS BP KIT UNLESS YOU ARE A STREET FIGHTER OR DRAG JUNKIE.
If BP wants to offer proof of its performance in road course/lapping application like he first told me when i bought the kit then I am all ears, but no info to date ad I am sure none will come forward. Ifthey do great, I would love to know what they have done different.
I have a few customers that have Dynosty built engines, and they are all going strong with no issues to report. I know for a fact that my very fist customer (Don) MI35th is very hard on his engine and participates in a lot of road course, drag and shootout type of events. All the work done to his car was done by one shop, Dynosty.
I will keep posting on what R/T is prepared to do for me if anything and hopefully we can get this, up until now, POS BP kit to work with my intended application.
Still waiting for the contact details for all those people pushing this kit harder than me Sasha....I wont hold my breath though.

Shadi,
You asked me who you should go to for an engine build...I said Dynosty since I have direct experience dealing with them on that end. I NEVER said do not go to shop X or shop Y. This is not how I go about things...and this is your quote to support the above:
You had asked for advice, I provided it. It is as simple as that. I am not going to tell my customer not to go to shop X or shop Y...that is up to the customer to decide.
I also deal (and will continue to) with R/T on the UpRev side and tuning, but do not have any experience with them as far as engine builds go. This is why I had told you (since you asked me about tuners in your area) to take it down to Vince when you installed the kit on the stock block. I did not say "do not take it to shop X or Y"... I suggested R/T (since you asked for tuner advice) because of MY experience with them on that end.
There is a HUGE difference between you asking me for advice on where to go to get things done, and me suggesting a shop, vs. me simply saying "I told you so".

Please quote the words "I told you so" in BP's statement. I do not see them.
I also didn't know that BP was now in the business of selling bearings, pistons, rods, etc and accepted responsibility for their use and installation. Either point at a piece of hardware on the kit you purchased that either failed or can conclusively be attributed to the direct failure of another part; or, point that finger up your a$$.

don's motor needed to be refreshed after Zdayz. But it didnt fail.
Its not the kits fault and saying not to buy it if you road race is stupid. Its a bunch of pipe and a turbo. The kit didnt fail, the motor did. That is on the builder or the tuner. Sasha should not even be involved in this mess. He made a recommendation as to who to use.
You dont even know what happened to your motor yet.. Whoever you choose to do the rebuild should be in charge of determining the cause of failure in the last one.
Do you know your clearances? Does your previous builder? Were they set with road racing in mind? Have you religiously been sending oil into blackstone for analysis?
Its easy to point fingers but if you have not done your due diligence, no one is going to help you.
good luck, seriously. if RT did the build and the tune, then you should have nothing to worry about.

If you see it differently I am happy for you, my perception is what matters with what you say to me, and what I take from that is "I told you so".

I am not pointing the finger at BP, just stating the facts as they are, the kit is **** for the intended application that I was wanting to use it for . period. Unless shown otherwise that is a true and fact statement. Also to be considered is the build, that is on R/T and we will see what happens there.
So do yourself a favor, dont start talking **** when you dont have the facts. One part in the kit fails that causes another part in the kit to fail, which most likely is somehow the cause of the epic fail that i am left with after buying this kit in the first place. So you ask for it there it is. now sit the **** down.

R/T did the build and the tune, both on the first build and the second build. Where do you suggest I point the finger?? There are only two people involved BP and R/T. BP kit fails on all fronts with my experience anyway( no bashing intended just the FACTS) and now the second motor failure...so I guess I should point the finger up my own *** like DaveJackasson said??
Common give me a break, anyways like I said, constructive advice from experienced peeps is what I am looking for and I thank those that have contributed thus far, still NO BP USERS THAT WANT TO CHIME IN WITH HOW THEY PUSH THEIR KIT??? AND ANOTHER QUOTE FROM BP " I tell you that I DO have customers with this kit, that are much harder on it than you. (you question it)" HOGWASH...WHERE ARE THEY THEN AND WHY NOT PUT ME IN TOUCH WITH THEM SO I CAN SEE WHAT I MUST BE DOING WRONG
if your defending one or the other i have no time for you or your comments, this is not personal, its business, when the **** you sell fails, whether it is a service or a part you either back it up or you are worthless in any community or platform.

Lets' also pull another quote / instruction from BP,
" route a hose off a tee from the passenger side valve cover breather to the intake pipe before the turbo, the other end of tee to your catch can, this will solve the smoking issue you are having out the tail pipe"
At first tell I said "ok I will try that" then after wanting a second opinion,( because that sounded like complete BS to me) I asked my tuner, he said " I have no idea why Sasha would tell you that, it makes no sense at all and will absolutely not solve the issue you are having)
This issue was that even though a new turbo was installed ( since the first POS **** the bed after a few kms) the car was still smoking at the track, so only under high constant pressure, which the tuner and builder attribute to the turbo not being able to handle the constant oil pressure in a track setting ad it getting past the rings/seals. I have talked to precision at length( Dennis) and he is just as stumped. There is a plan set out and he has said that a restrictor may be needed, but first I know have to deal with this 2nd blown motor.
Sasha, I do not contest you are a great guy, a great fabricator( welder) but the parts you sold me failed. period. there is no denying it. Whether or not they contributed to the overall failure of the motor we will soon find out.
UNLESS SOMEONE COMES FORWARD OR I AM DIRECTED TO SOMEONE THAT TELLS ME THAT THEY ROAD RACE THIS KIT THEN IT STILL STANDS......
DO NOT BY A BP KIT IF YOU WISH TO USE YOUR CAR FOR LAPPING OR ROAD RACE APPLICATION
I will add that this is probably an ok kit to go with if you are a fast and furious weekend coffee shop hang out driver or drag you car, anything that has the kit see constant oil pressure 80+psi for 2 mins a lap, don't even bother, find something more suitable is what all indications point to.

You misunderstand three very important things.
1.) How a direct quote works in English.
2.) Libel as it pertains to the tort of defamation
3.) What the word "somehow" means when you repeatedly state "somehow caused it to fail".

P.S. your in Canada Dave you should not state laws that do not hold water, that is like me saying I am going to sue BP cuz the kit failed on numerous fronts, ridiculous.
If you want to **** in a pond go find another one, if you have a BP kit and road race then I would love to chat with you, either way aside fro that, take a hike friend.

2. Scavenge pump sold to me by BP FAILED- CONCLUSIVELY DUE TO THE TURBO FAILURE AS POINTED OUT BY SASHA IN THE PREVIOUS THREAD LINKED IN THE ORIGINAL POST IN THIS THREAD.
So there you have two pieces of hardware from the BP kit that I have pointed out for you. I am sure you will still have **** to talk, but my point is made.
Thanks for the input, but unless you have something to contribute that relates to what I am asking about then your comments are not required, but amusing none the less.
I do have something to contribute...you should change your title to "Who hates BP and R/T and wants to hate with me?" Maybe you'll get more people to respond in the way you want them to respond....
?? no one has come forward that road races a BP kit with a built motor so I am not sure WTF you are talking about.

We will see what R/T is prepared to do with this and as far as BP goes, not hate there at all, just stating facts, am I pissed off ... ABSOLUTELY .. poking the bear will not get you anywhere, do you have a BP kit that you road race?? Didn't think so, if your to stupid to read, then take it elsewhere. Your comment could not be farther from the truth so beat it.

Yessir...good luck with finding people to agree with your rant...Mr bear...
In the end, you really should have a gotten a vehicle that was factory built for FI...

Not sure where you get the ridiculous statement you just made but I do not hate either R/T or BP. So get your **** straight.

I explained to you through email that you may have a crank case pressure issue, since you told me that the catch can you were using had a lot of oil in it, and had to be empteid often.
Then I called you and told you to do the following:
Take your passenger side valve cover vent and T it with your driver side valve cover vent. From there, run the last port from the T to your catch can. Remove the breather fitler from your catch can, and install a 1/2" hose barb, drill/tapp your air intake (before turbo) and install 1/2" hose barb, connect the catch can top port to the turbo intake. Monitor oil level closely in the catch can.
So once again, you don't understand what I had explained to you over the phone and the reason behind it....Here are some reasons for this (quick google search is faster than typing it all up):
....efficient ‘crankcase breathing’ is an equally important function of any engine. Even in a new engine, the combustion pressure will inevitably pass the piston rings into the crankcase. If an engine’s breathing system should become blocked or restricted, the crankcase will pressurise causing any one or more of the following problems:
1) The oil/air mix will force its way out through any other convenient exit e.g. oil seals, dip stick, filler cap, etc.
2) The efficiency of the oil control rings will be reduced creating increased oil consumption (AKA OIL BURNING/SMOKING).
3) Impurities such as water vapour and acids (by products of combustion) will build up and contaminate the oil causing sludging and increased engine wear.
4) The adverse affect on the air/fuel mixture will result in starting problems and rough idling conditions.
5) As a consequence of the weakened fuel charge, detonation or ‘pinking’ will ensue. To compensate, the ignition will need retarding resulting in further power loss
That is not what you said to do, possibly it is a miscommunication but you said the following
Route the line with the filter on it (oil vapor and oil that is coming out of the passenger valve cover) to the intake pipe before the turbo.. Nothing was misunderstood and when this was explained to others they quickly said that is the stupidest thing you could do, and that would not in any way solve any issues. It is you that misunderstood, I told you the catch can did not have a breather, that is why we put a tee in the line off the passenger side valve cover to accommodate a filter for the time being, you said to remove that filter and run the line to the intake pipe before the turbo. and that is a fact.
You did not in anyway shape or form explain it how you have said here, another reason that I will not listen to anything you have to say anymore. Piece Of **** kit, great email replies, thats about it.
Still no reply with a link to where to get the filter for the system though eh? and still no info on all these people that have your kit that are pushing it harder than I was eh?.. either back up the **** you say or do not say it at all.
