**cough**

Carrillo, 8 second 1/4 mile pass, 1300whp

**cough**

 

Who's car did that come out of ? Nasty looking bend . Surprised it didnt snap

 

yuck....keep that boost down

 

Core motor that overheated and was replaced under warranty by Nissan

 

Looks just like the 2 bent rods out of my core block.
My core motor bent rods with a poorly tuned Greddy running <8.
Does't take alot of boost to bend the OEMs, just detonation

 

looks nasty

btw, what does a core motor that overheated have to do with carillo rods and an 8 second pass? I don't see any carillo rods in those pictures.

 

LOL, it was a not so subtle suggestion that if you use Carrillo rods you won't see this happen to you as evidenced by the Z that made an 8.33 second pass using Carrillo rods and making 1300whp. Maybe it was too subtle if you didnt get it ?

 

yea i was confused by the carillo comment as well?

 

Too darn Subtle - to be understood - At least there were no Carrillo Rods Shown... But then again it was not funny.

What's meant by 'core motor'? Are you just simply talking about the engine itself overheating? If so, I thought that with APS, this kit was designed so as to avoid overheating. So the second question would be, why did the core motor overheat and did you notice the overheating in the guage?

 

LOL...seems to be a trend. Out of the 8 core motors we have 5 of them had bent rods

 

If the tune isn't right then you can bend even aftermarket rods... sounds to me like the emanage isn't a good solution for engine tuning, or they aren't tuned right out of the box.

Is my internet broke?

 

define 'core motor'. Are these blocks you guys are buying?

 

A "core" means an old long or short block to be used for rebuild.
In this case a forged bottom end rebuild specifically for FI. For example a shop will generally credit a customer ~$2k fro a rebuildable core. This overheating appeared to happen on an OEM block , no FI (specifically no APS kit was involved).

 

With a bad tune, something else will give well before Pauter rods. and maybe even Carillo A-beams. Most likely rings, piston or head gasket would go first. Personally I have never seen a bent Pauter.

 

Exactly, this was a motor that was replaced under warranty by Nissan on a non-FI car. We bought the motor to use as a core for a build up because the rods and pistons are being replaced and there was no damage to the block itself, just the stock rod as indicated in the picture.

Really not sure how APS got thrown into the mix, but this has been the most misunderstood thread ever

 

still confused.. you bought it with the bent rod.. or you bought it.. ran it.. and then bent the rod.

I'm guessing this is you bought the block.. and took these after disassembling it.. on your way to building it up for something else.

 

Sorry about the 'APS' confusion. I assumed you had it because it's in your sig!-I just missed the fact that it said 'coming soon'.

 

If the engine was OK except for the rod and piston, then why did Nissan replace it?
