[QUOTE=Tem120;11597637]Hey man , I like quick spool as well thats why i'm sticking to the stock twins , But I have a friend who went single with a smaller Modern turbo , so he could have that quick spool , and STILL make more power then me haha



This is Erik , the owner of that mess of an engine that we had all sorts of problems.



I guess your friend is smarter than you, you keep messing with those POS twin and using parts that are over 20 years old to try to make it work, maybe if you dish out some real money and buy all new sequential system maybe you get to get your car running right with the twins, or at least how you think that the sequential system should run.

but that's why most people go single turbo because at the long run is cheaper than having to keep ******* with the sequential twin setup.

12 PSI .. at 2800 RPMS I'm happy... with the twins .. and the sequential system .. advising a customer to go none sequential when he wants quick spool because he cant work on the sequentials.. is the quick way out.. and bad advice .

Also .. how long have you been using forums yet you cant quote someone???

I'm sorry I didn't quote you properly, mister Rotary Guru, you are a big joke buddy,

and off course you are happy at 12 psi, it's a lot better than the miata. Oh and before I forget, Chris didn't have to show anybody your Rust bucket as we now the whole story on the car, as it was for sale for a long time, but of course there is always a idiot that doesn't know any better.

Oh and i see you have being a forum member for less time that I have, and yet you have more post than me, I guess is from asking all the stupid question that other forum members have answer way before you came into this forum, or maybe from giving advice to other members when yet you don't even know how to work in your own car.

Tem120 the new **** on the block, RX7 tuner, lol.

no rebuttal there .. When i was new .. and had a burnt shell for a car I asked the hell out of people . and thanks to the advice and help from alot of the members on this forum .. I got the car running . and learned alot in the process ..

Only thing I didn't feel confident doing myself was rebuilding the motor..


BIG MISTAKE THAT WAS . I still wouldn't feel confident with that , But I'd take it to someone I know would do a good job and not blame me for his mistakes , then him and his friends harass me continuously afterwards and during ... yet still the bill ended up being more then a mazda reman ...

First off you need to get your facts correct before you talk, I didn't tell Chris to go none sequential. You speak as you know details about this build, when if fact you meet the owner maybe 5 times!

Where you there when Chris & I sat down and planed this build? So you are just going to keep assuming you know the facts because of a hand full of times you met the owner

How is it I'm harassing you, when your the bad mouthing me every chance you get! Posting lies, PMing people not to do work with me, you are following on this forum. You posted on this thread something without even knowing or checking your facts! But this is the type of person you are, like that state-farm lady "who read it on the internet".

I'm telling you Erik stop posting lies, PMing people & bad mouthing me or we are going to have a real problem.

As far as you spending 3k on your rebuild, why don't you list IN YOUR BUILD THREAD what parts were replaced for that amount!? You make it seem as if you gave me 3k to rebuild your engine. When if FACT YOU shopped for your replacement parts, so if YOU over paid it's on YOU!!!

I have not PM'd ONE person telling them not to work with you NOT one , I have not mentioned or spoken about you..

I have not bad mouthed you.. Until you ruined my build thread with your BS .. All I said was you made a mistake with the gasket on the water pump , when YOUR friend tried to say it was I who did it . as if I took it off after you had done your JOB , and ruined it .. I only pointed out that that had not been the case .. but no harm no foul I didnt even say it was you who had done it. it could of been some other mechanic I had seen since you worked on the motor but you chose to come and ignite some BS Crusade against me..

Also I have not LIED .. to anyone

And yes apart from the 900 I gave you for labor I paid for parts does not mean the total balance wasnt 3000 But thats not the point I would of happily paid that 3000 if I had gotten a good motor from the start.

and please do not threaten me .. I am just posting and saying the truth.. and pointing out discrepancies in your knowledge with said motors . if you would of left me alone .. none of this would of happened .. NONE OF IT . I never wanted to make an enemy out of you .. you brought this on yourself .

AGAIN I have NEVER pm'd ANYONE telling them not to work with you ..

I have NOT EVEN MENTIONED Your name since that day on facebook I was done with you and you know what I was glad ...

Really so who was the one texting me asking how to install the thermostat? With all your knowledge & wisdom. Also you couldn't install your motor & who did you text? You seem to forget ALL the details, like me picking/dropping off parts for you, picking you up from your job in the civic you talked **** about. But was good to take your 2face *** home!!! This is the things that people don't know, cause you take out a word or two from a comment I made to use against me.

This is my last reply GO **** YOUR SELF.

i'm pretty sure most builders would of known something was wrong when the car would not start and I spent every day getting broken down calling friends to give me pushstarts and battery jumps , calling co workers to help me out , having to call my parents to help me get my car started every day.. it was humiliating .. I'm sure Most builders would of known something was off .. yet what did you tell me??

oh just drive it.. buy an MSD , Buy a new battery , when i asked if I should check the compression you said no.

When I did it anyways and got 60 psi. what am I supposed to think? rather then call you and bitch at you , I made a thread trying to get a grasp of the situation from an outside perspective because nothing you were saying or doing or telling me was working ..


As a builder as someone who gets paid for this kind of thing you should have deduced that something was wrong with the motor it never should of gotten to the point where I spent a month getting broken down every time i tried to put gas because the car would not restart...


yet after ALLL THAT AFTER ALL THAT I WAS NOT ANGRY AT YOU , NO I said aslong as I get my motor back and it worked I'd be happy ...
and I was... it still takes for ever to start . but it starts .. and then when i take it on its first drive.. again .. broken down.. this time because you made another mistake

I had to get humiliated and ruin event for multiple people

at least it wasn't a huge leak . people get frustrated. did you say hey man sorry my bad . no .. you didnt. you put the blame on something someone else..

Guess you forgot about your "STUCK" injector that was causing your issue BUT it's his fault as well ?

So you text him saying your waterpump is leaking, he tells you to buy a new one...... So it's his fault YOU mis-diagnosed where the leak was coming from ? If you would have stated water pump housing then it's a different story... Oh WAIT... that's ALL you are is full of stories and LIES...

No , I said from the waterpump gasket Not the waterpump itself I said " I dont think its the waterpump . Its comming from the cover" . those were my words ..

if it had been the water pump .. why would I be stupid enough to call and ask about the gasket . which was the reason I called ..

As for the leaking injector .. that was a small part of the issue the coolant in the motor was a bigger issue then the injector ... you're just grasping at straws now.

now I think this is getting old .. so lets stop.

after a long love and hate story between my piece of **** i hope right now to finally get the final run for my build!!!

after 2000 long miles!!! i always had problems with the hot starts , i really can tell was my worst nightmare!!! every time that i turned off the car i have to wait almost 1 hour before start it again!!!

i finally almost 8 months ago went to my tuner at Pro's and from the first moment he hear that the engine was pushing good but there was something with the hot start!!! but as soon the engine was new we really thought something about the break in of the engine so we gave the right time to the engine!!!

the tune was perfect and the drivability was just fine but if the car turn off at a light that was a pain in the ***!!! i also get one ticket one time!!! lol

after 2000 miles of break in of the engine!!! yesterday we try the car with my tuner aaaaand we got a compression issue in the hot start!!!! so after almost 3 years in the making i'm in the same Sxxxt but at least i see light right now!!! hopefully i will get my car back in 2-3 weeks with finally something done professionally!!!

in the meantime i bought a single turbo setup ASPEC!!!

this is the last picture of her trying to be a beautiful car!!!

So all this fighting about engine work done on another car and this one has compression issues too?

Also, anyone giving advice to just drive it through break in to fix hot start issues magically doesnt know what they're doing. A brand new engine should be able to start just fine (assuming built and tuned correctly).

Are you using the same builder for the rebuild?

Yes twincharged another built with compression issues, anyway i don't want to blame on anybody! The important right now is that i decided to go in a different route and i really hope to get it done right!

I want to drive it asap!

Thanks to anyone for the pms too!

There were no compression issues with the other car but a small mistake on my part and I fixed that ASAP & he beats on it all the time without a problem.

As for hot start issues with this car, when I built this engine it had only cold start issues & I recall Chris texting me saying how happy he was with the car, but didn't like the cold start issue taking a few times before it would start. This is all before he got it tuned & it got a single Turbo & a few other things done before it got tuned and we are talking about 3 years ago.

Unfortunately that engine went boom in November

really tired of your eternal lies chris!!! 3 years ago!?? you start the car 3 years ago and finish it 1 year ago!!! from the first moment the car never run we have to push start the with a TRUCK to start the ******* car!!! but for you that was normal!!! the car just need to break in a little bit!!! and when i tell you that the car was running fine when the car was on, i always mention that we got really big problems in hot start and when people tells you to do a compression test you never want to do it!!.Honestly i also was tired about your short cuts in the buildings cheap tools etc etc!!!

anyway thank god a lot of people knows how really things go on! and i really want to thank that people to advice me in the right directions!!!

finally again i hope to this time i will enjoy my car!

Wow Really? I never told you not to do a compression test, we had 1000cc injectors In the primaries so the map setting on the PFC needed to be adjusted, we went with 750cc & that's helped out. Short cuts & cheap tools??? I used your tools most of the time & you supplied all your parts for the build, so hot did I take short cuts? No one is lying here & I'm happy you found someone that you understand each other. But for you to say I did short cuts or did a bad job that is not the story good Luck & I wish you all the best really.

So you tell yourself and all the rotary community that you use client tools to build the engines? Don't you think is a shortcut? Don't you think that buying harbor freight torque wrenches (that break in the middle of a built) is not a shortcut? Don't you think ask people to lend impact wrenches in the middle of a build ( because you don't want to buy one) is a Shortcut?

If you want i can continue for hours and hours!

I supply the parts? Yes i supply all the parts you put on a list and i specifically buy for you!

About the compression test you remember wrong because several times i ask for that! And meanwhile you get angry the answer was always the same:"chris don't worry the engine is fine!"

Regarding the tools a lot of times i bought tools just for you because you don't have them! A rotary guy that work with this is not suppose to have them all?

About the injectors you remember wrong again, first time you tell me that with the 1000cc i never had to worry than i ask you if we can put the 750 and YOU tell me to buy 850cc so you even don't remember the build?!
Nothing more to say!

I really hope and i wish you the best!

I built your engine at my shop & used my tools , when I helped you with your car at your warehouse I used your harbor freight tool box with the tools you had in it.

Don't you think that buying harbor freight torque wrenches (that break in the middle of a built) is not a shortcut? Don't you think ask people to lend impact wrenches in the middle of a build ( because you don't want to buy one) is a Shortcut?

Are we still talking about your engine or Erik's Cause I built yours & didn't break anything, now on Erik I was having a very hard time getting the flywheel nut off. But both you & him know this cause you were both they.


I supply the parts? Yes i supply all the parts you put on a list and i specifically buy for you!

You didn't buy them for me but for your car

About the compression test you remember wrong because several times i ask for that! And meanwhile you get angry the answer was always the same:"chris don't worry the engine is fine!"

Angry no. But I knew there other things we had to address first & I explained this to you over & over and made sure you understood me.

Regarding the tools a lot of times i bought tools just for you because you don't have them! A rotary guy that work with this is not suppose to have them all?

I have all the tools I just wasn't going to all my tools over to your warehouse, why would I do that? It your warehouse & you wanted the car to be worked on there. Keep in mind you paid for an engine rebuild NOT A CAR rebuild

About the injectors you remember wrong again, first time you tell me that with the 1000cc i never had to worry than i ask you if we can put the 750 and YOU tell me to buy 850cc so you even don't remember the build?!
Nothing more to say!

Right 1000 for the secondaries & 850 for the primaries

I guess you are using the issues I had with Erik flywheel nut & the torque wrench. It seems like you are confused. Your engine was built in late 2012 & installed 1/2013, you had to leave the states but when you returned I helped you put your car together. Keep in mind my job was the rebuild but I helped you with almost everything on your car, it's sad that things came to this cause I would have gave you the shirt off my back.
