same person rebuilt the engine each time?

 

Are you taking care of it? Because it sounds as if your just running them into the ground.

 

jesus man youv'e driven the car 18k miles and you've gone through 5 motors. youve got a shitty mechanic or you got a bad bad case of lead foot and cant stay out of boost. learn moderation

 

who's building your motors, HAYES? that would explain it.

 

Wow, tough luck? I imagine from all the money you've spent you could've bought a new S5!

 

and I thought 2 motors in a year was bad but that was only because I attemped to tune my car at the track with an SAFC and EGT.

 

Sorry bud keep your chin up, and get a different engine builder

5 engines? Holly crap! By a mazda one already or get some one who knows what there doing to rebuild that motor.

Shouldnt the rebuilder know this?

Never buy Kragen parts! Ever ever ever! (Cept oil )

Hope this next one works other wise you need to give someone hell about that? Well, good luck, it would be nice to see another TII on the road.

 

last motor was done by R&R rotary the motor was a good hookup to cuz i know the owner.... it was warrenteed ( already paid for 4 with out warrentee ALL from different builders ) the guy who built it also helped me install it.... he isnt arguing with me taking the motor back or anything he is graciously taking it back for a rebuild he knows the oil control rings would be his fault on the build and he is taking it back.... and no i dont have a lead foot ... a majority of the time i keep the shifts at 3500rpms and never go higher than 8 inches of vaccum while accelerating.... i can admit that i did drag it some and took it mountain racing.... but none of that happened before 1000 even 1500 i think....

 

first oil change was at 980 miles second change was at 3700 miles.... so i take care of my cars.... i change the coolant at 980 miles too.... also flushed the radiator and checked for leaks....

 

5 blown motors in one year....

someones not learning from there mistakes thats all.

 

Damn thats a sweet car! ( 1fastT2 ) Too bad its red, but man still hot!

 

Mabey if you or whoever the hell is building them checked the clearances on the **** your using CORRECTLY you wouldn't have failing motors...
