I was gonna go with Turbonetic single Turbo...guess not, feeling more toward greddy or aps

 

Any form of turbo FI can blow a motor, it's all in the tune. I've got over 10K miles on my TN

 

It's not all in the tune!

Oh yeah, installer error too

 

Beating the sh*t out of the car will quickly put an end to a connecting rod with or without a good tune.

thats a pretty good price.. even with a blown motor

 

that's why I just buy them with blown motors anyways, picked up my 350 with greddy tt and blown motor for 15k.

 

was that Pat's old car?

 

agreed, but . . . when we talk to the seller he just tells me he is a master mechanic and then i think i am supposed to bow or something. the car was NOT over revved on the way home. my friend that bought the car and i both knew there was not boost gauge or any sort of gauges for that matter, so he kept it under 5k. we ran a fast steady pace back home, i kept have to slow down because he did not want to run it too hard.. plans were to get it to jeremy that monday for utec and comb through it. well, he has combed through it now awesome job by the way. by the way he recommends everyone here run stock plugs on their FI setup, "lots of people do it, turbonetics does not require you change the plugs"

 

who does??

 

Changing my plugs to stock plugs as we speak!!!!

 

Jeremy is recomending everyone use stock plugs with FI? What's next..... he'll be pushing the e-manage blue?

knowing the history of TN kits and Z's why would you buy a used Z with it, or with any FI kit on a stock motor, you are just asking for it.

as for the guy knowing it was bad, you really can't tell ahead of time a rod is going to fail 150 miles down the road come on.

did you do any compresison or leakdown??

don't put the blame on the seller the buyer should have known better or maybe was blinded by the price and thought he was getting a steal

 

doug: yes this is pats old car, I've got it running well, switched it over to a utec and have forged internals sitting here waiting to be built.

 

nice.. i always wondered what happened to him and the car.. i am hoping he got married eventually and is doing well as a LEO

 

He seemed like a nice guy the little I talked to him, just seems he was kind of given some bad advice about the car or something.

 

yeah .. thats why i searched long and hard here for the right tuner/installer .. Pat was one of the first people with a Greddy TT Kit.. i'm suprised his motor lasted that long.. think he was still runing E-Manage too

 

wrong, it is sold "as is" only if it is specified as such. Also, if the seller begins to tell the buyer about the details/condiction of the car he is obligated to give the buyer all of the information he is aware of. If the seller honestly and in good faith does not know of a certain detrimental factor of the vehicle he is not obligated to confer it, but this must be a reasonable mistake. edit: Judging by the fs thread a court will more than likely be able to find that enough information has been conferred, so full disclosure of the known defects of the car is required.

Also, because the sale of a boosted Z would be greater than $5000, the statute of frauds applies which means that if there is not a written contract for the sale of the vehicle, the sale was not enforceable and the buyer can reclaim his money. As you can see, for the most part, a wounded buyer can still collect damages, or complete reciscion of the deal under not only misrepresentation, fraud, not having an adequate writing, etc. If this happens to anybody, they first need to gather all of their documentation, then contact the seller, and if the buyer does not recieve the results he beleives is fair, he needs to find counsel and file a law suit.

 

Hypothetically speaking.. You sound like a Lawyer..

 

not yet, but i am in law school
