This is the way I see it, and what I tell customers and other enthusiasts. Going FI is like smoking cigarettes. Smoking kills, you just don't know and it depends how much you abuse it. Some die soon some never die from it at all. Some people get cancer and some people just keep smoking forever. Same with FI, it's the luck of the draw sometimes and it's how much you abuse it, how you maintenance it, and how you use it while having it. Some people with the same exact set up last forever, some for long years, and some for not too long. Just make sure you take the right steps and do the right things and do it right the first time. Dont make Any mistakes during your FI journey.

 

Do it right, and it will last.

Of course, doing it right costs a hell of a lot more...

 

You're getting an engine that makes 300bhp and forcing it to handle almost double that

It's a ticking time bomb..

 

You gotta pay to play.

 

I know where the problem is. It's between the steering wheel and the driver seat. Sorry dude

 

I was on the370z for a while I was considering either the Z or the G. One of the blown motors was install error. Someone installed their own oil cooler, didn't tighten down one of the fittings properly.
Took it on the highway, all the oil dumped out of the motor, it seized, and went bye bye.

 

Errr... FAIL.

 

tt on a hr35 with no tune & no forged internals.

to the o/p my condolences to what's left of your motor.

 

I'm sorry, for some reason I can't see the pics...so I can't even assume what happened. So....what happened??? Did it run too lean? Did it look like an over-rev? were pistons punched through the block???? aaaaaggghhhhhh! someone tell me!!!!

btw- 8.5 psi doesn't seem too crazy high...

 

lol . . . do FI right and it will last . . . can't do smoking right . . .

 

dude thats a good example. Smoking cigarettes with stock human body and going FI with stock block, good analogy. It can go anytime, or it can never go until the end of time. If your in the game you'd know, and if you are then you would know. Alot of FI guys build their motors down the road when they feel it's time, or some build it when things blow. With g35 or 350z you just flip a coin and expect it to blow, that's how I see it, fork out some money and save it, Expect a build down the road. But this is a g37 I know, and saying that a stock block cannot blow from FI is incorrect, even if you do it right, and that goes for any car. But then again, there's always mistakes that one could take but we wouldnt know about it And im not talking about GTM or the kit self in this incident. It's simple things a installer or a owner can do that could cause issues like this.

On my g35 I did everything right, like everything, nothing missing, every supported mod possible, and it still went. But that was mash potatoes rods from a vq35de.
Oh yeah I went to GTM also for my car and they did everything right, did things to it to where even they said this is really not needed and I still did it cause I was paranoid.
But nope, stock block FTL lol
Heck you could do everything right on this car and mis-shfit a couple times and kiss it good bye lol.

 

Did the owner take the car to GTM for install and tune or was it done by someone else?

If the owner was middle eastern then I'd assume he was at red line 90% of the time lol. That's how everyone here drives xD

 

I think the owner had someone else install it. Also +1 on what you said, I just dont want to be stereotype typing it but it's true, middle easterns love to do some red lining in the streets lol

 

I could verify that too! Middle-eastern'ers should only be allowed to get a TT kit if both their engine and tranny were built lol Otherwise they should stick to N/A mods

 

^ rofl!! LOL
