Sorry to hear that Matt...

 

I think I got a bad tune

 

I dunno man, Steve is one of the best. How high did he tune it for?

 

That blows Matt.

 

13psi I was making 390whp. When it happened I was at about 10psi. I have no clue what happened. I thought I had a really good setup and a good motor that's why I think it had something to do with the tune. Everything was good before it. 50 miles after the tune this happened.

 

your not the only one...there have been a number of people with the same problem...

 

dang dude, 2 motors in less than a year. FD really stands for Financial Disaster

 

who ever wants parts let me know.

 

Damn that's pretty low boost but looks like a good amount of airflow for that power level. With these cars anything could go wrong and a seal will let go.

I'd say stick with it and make it better, but I'm more stubborn than most.

 

man don't part it out bro...stick with it...maybe take a break from it right now, and then later come back and attack it again...

 

idk I really think I had a good setup. What to make better? have no clue it was a solid car. It had to be the tune it was a 100% before.

So I don't know what i should do part everything out and then sell it as a roller or fix it then sell it. I just don't wanna put money into it.

 

I will trade ya. Son wants a FD now.

 

trade for cash

 

that sucks mann, fix it!

 

stick it out bro

 

So what are your symptoms? you say it just sounds like a boxer motor at idle well a couple things can cause that. Check all your couplers make sure they are all on no leaks no tears as well as check the injectors I had a problem with the injectors and it sounded like a had a pherical port on that bitch hella rough and lobie like a boxer motor. Anyways the situation your in you should make sure it isnt anything little or youll kick yourself in the ***. Take a day and go over everything then make an inteligent choice not an emotional one you might regret.

sell EVERYTHING rotary under the hood.

buy an LS1T56 and call Hinsonsupercars

enjoy life with a 350Whp setup that also nets you 30mpg on the highway and absurd torque down low in the rpm range. oh yeah 6 speeds of fun await your new decision. dont sell it, swap it. you'll love it. no more headaches either. drop it in, tune it, drive it, race it, love it.

sorry your motor busted, that really does suck. but dont give up, the FD is such a sweet chassis, you just need a different kind of motor setup... more power from less mods/tuning/etc.

 

i tell u what!
just throw all the junk into the roller junk and i'll haul that crap to a crapyard and give u what they pay for scrap metal.................easy!
dont worry about my time and gas. i'll be nice and take the HEADACHE out for ya!

 

Dam your so nice. I Wish there was more nice kids in the world.

 

Ive seen the car in person, **** was built right. Dunno why the motor went

 

Hahaha sorry for the lowball offer...I had to join the belligerency for a bit. But really are you 100% sure the motor went? If it did part out the motor and put the money towards a BAR and Reffed LS1 swap. Sounds promising and smog legal

 

Do a compression test first.

 

hey, man. i got a comp gauge. we can check it this weekend if you want. I'm just around the corner. PM if you're interested.

 

im 100% sure its blown

 

if u wanna help me part everything you can let me know.


thanks
