holy moly.
what in the world happen?

 

because its a performance service, theres absolutely nothing you can do to recover the damages.
Sorry bro, it happens to the best of us.

 

His *** went to lean on the car and it started to detonate and pistons go bye bye.

 

THAT lean? musta been a wrong button or something...

 

WTF was he doing?! what was your setup??

I didn't sign a waiver form that says that they are not responsible...I'm going to try to do something about it...All I want is the tuning money back...because I can't even use the map that he gave me...by the way I'm using an AEM EMS.

My setup is,

JE 9:1 Pistons
Crower Rods
Darton Sleeves
Micropolished and Balanced Crank
Pro Series JG Head
Drag Manifold
T3/T4 B
Apexi Intercooler
AEM EMS
AEM Fuel Rail
550cc Injectors
AEM Fuel Regulator
Walbro 255 Fuel Pump
ACT Clutch
Tial 38mm Wastegate
Tial BOV
3in Downpipe and 3in Exhaust with Apexi N1 Muffler (no cat)

 

the sleeves ok? pistons doing that isnt the END of the world, but if the block is trashed, it certainly hurts ALOT more...

dude....u should do something about it for sure man..thats bullshit!!! u take ur car to a tuner to avoid **** like this!!

 

ouch!
i think they should give you your tuning money back and some new parts.

 

Sucks but unlike you. After all my hard work and time. It was my block that was garbage after all

Be happy pistons arnt that expensive and either is a new head gasket and im sure you got re usable head bolts

Good luck in future!!

and they are right, it happnes to the best of us

I'm sorry to hear that...its not only my pistons I have to resleeve them and it cost alot of money for labor.

 

If i did that to someones motor i'd be buying them new pistons.etc. I hope they do something for you.

 

holy ****! sorry to hear that man. Next time bring your car at Church Automotive Testing in Torrance Shawn is the man!

Shitty dude...... ya labour sucks. Im lucky the shop is re sleeving mine for free and building it again for me. Well part of it till I get it back in my home town. Then I pay my mech to do the rest.

Id be pissed, hands down. Hell Im still pissed and it was over 6 months ago for me. Its like a g/f that cheats on you. You may forgive but never forget.

 

Just a few questions. How lean was the car what was the AFR? How many passes did he do on your car before this happened? What gas did you have in the car? What plugs and ignition were you running? How much boost? Give me some more details here.

 

How in the world??? Im practically speechless.

****, if that woulda happened on my car I woulda quick unhooked the tie down straps holding the car back, and let that ****** thing go over the edge with him inside still trying to tune the ****


jk prolly not but still, he's a moron.

 

Dont know what went wrong but Daren has tuned a few of my friends cars with Ems and Speen Pro and they had no problems. Sorry to see your dyno time went bad.

 

i know the feeling man , it takes time , but life goes on .

 

Damn sorry to hear man. Don't worry, you always come out faster!

 

im sorry to hear about what happened

Thats hard to believe though cuz i know darren and he knows his **** ??? He used to work at RS and then he went to R&D he tuned my boys car and that **** ripped we never had a bad expierence ???

anywase man sorry to hear bout that

 

i just dont understand when stuff like that happens.. the very first time i tuned an AEM was on a supra and its not a difficult task to keep it from leaning out...

Dont take your car back and let them tune thats fo sho!
