I expressly do NOT want to stir the pot, don't want name calling, none of it. If you include your tuner's name, you better have concrete evidence of exactly WHAT was done wrong.
YEAR/MODEL/MODS/MILES/WHAT happened/WHY it happened
Xenozx - '10 GSR 25k miles. FP Green/all bolt ons. 375tq
-Cause: low oil due to improper change caused bent rod.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
newcomer81 - FP Red/meth. 10k miles on stock turbo, another 9k on the Red although it was only the last few hundred miles i pushed the red to the point of making that much tq.
-Cause: FAR too much wheel torque for stock block (425awtq est)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mazzab - '10 SE. 20k miles. Intake, UICP, 3-port, HFC/CBE,
-Cause: Overboost issues, opening clutch packs
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Murlo - '08 GSR. E85 stock block, FP Red, MX1 came, all bolts minus LICP/DP. Threw a rod with 500awhp/460awq 33psi.
Motor #1: Above power levels, too much power on stock block.
Motor #2: Built 2.0, JE pistons, Manley TT Rods, Cosworth bearings. FP Black, GSC S2 Cams, MAP long runner header 38psi. Spun rod bearing #4. Lasted 3k miles. ""Thoughts on built motor, probably too much peak torque timing, running a bit lean and the number 4 one was prolly running leaner yet. I didn't log/monitor anything really, partially my fault for sure."
------------------------------------------------------------------
justin81 - '10 GSR. 30k miles. Full boltons, stock block, protune @ 340/360tq.
-Cause: Not sure. Found #2 & #4 spark plug ceramic broken and slipped over electrode causing misfire in both cylinders. Melted #4 piston.
------------------------------------------------------------------
2snail - '10 GSR. Cosworth drop-in, High Flow Cat, Grimmspeed 3 port. Tuned with peak 27.5 psi 312whp and 321wtq
-Cause: The car bent the gap closed on cyl#4 and I had a p0304, I replaced all 4 plugs. I believe the tune was too aggressive for almost stock setup.
------------------------------------------------------------------
legendary wraps - '08 MR
Motor #1 - stock, bad injector - kaboom cylinder #3
Motor #2 - built 2.0, dropped valve -ugly cylinder #3 and trashed head
Motor #3 - still built 2.0, burning some oil, but I think it's the turbo taking a shit....
------------------------------------------------------------------
braddddddd991 - TurboXS TBE, Harmin Motive intake, EBC, tune. 35k miles. Thrown rod.
------------------------------------------------------------------
mantella '08 GSR
Motor #1: Bad FPR, negligence
Motor #2: Fire
------------------------------------------------------------------
Robevo - Rally car with a 34 mm restrictor - stock ECU ; connecting rod failure, 29 peak psi and over stressed bone stock engine . Several failed tune also i think played a big role here LOL
------------------------------------------------------------------
3dman1 -
Motor #1: Built ERL 2.3 piston skirt issues originally believed to be a design issue and replaced by ERL no cost.
Motor #2: Built: Sleeve failure from to much power? Lean condition in #4? too much timing? Who the frick knows what happened. Unknown
------------------------------------------------------------------
EvoXMRSleeper - '10 MR. Full boltons with 10k miles.
-Cause - Thrown rod due to too much boost and overly aggressive timing
------------------------------------------------------------------
SHOWEVOX08 '08 GSR. Dom 2.0 with bolt on 3 port stock block, tuned.
-Cause - Rod though block, Piston broke into 2 pieces and oil pump sheered off
------------------------------------------------------------------
solipsism '08 GSR. Full bolt ons, 50/50 Water meth, GT3076r, 370whp. Mostly 300hp for half its life. 20k km stock, 40k km bolt ons
5k km w/m, 2k km w/m + 3076
-Cause - Rod #4 bent due to lean condition cylinder #4, possibly due to failed MAF sensor.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
stuntman '08 GSR. Full bolt ons, tune.
-Cause - Loose timing chain caused motor failure
-----------------------------------------------------------------
BitsuMishi '11 Ralliart Sportback. 10k miles. Full bolt ons and EvoX turbo swap then BBX Lite.
-Cause - Wrist pin in cylinder #3 snapped, unknown reason.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
mindovaanything '08 GSR, 60k miles, ~6k on built motor with BBX and full supporting mods.
Motor #1: Failed plug in #4, low compression in #2, dirty injectors. Built with above mods
Motor #2: Rebuilt, unknown cause of failure
-----------------------------------------------------------------
wisniaPI '10 GSR fully built 2.0. spun bearing after tune.
-Cause - unknown
-----------------------------------------------------------------
4-D '10 MR FP Green with full bolt ons, 16k miles
-Cause - unknown
-----------------------------------------------------------------
lanasa1980 - '10 GSR
Motor #1: 16k miles, stock block, bolt ons and meth. Cause was improperly installed Meth kit
Motor #2: 16k miles, built block, bolt ons, and meth. Cause was improperly installed Meth kit (same builder, same cause, boom goes the dynamite)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
TheNEWB - '08 GSR
Motor #1: 14k miles, Stock turbo, dropped plug/valve after DP blew off
Motor #2: 3k miles, Built 2.3L, Melted #1 piston Bad fuel
Motor #3: 190 miles, Built 2.3L, (SLIGHTLY larger hone as #2), Cracked all 4 sleeves during tune
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Widoww - 2010 x mr-t 56k km. Fp red, full boltons 450/380 VD tuned by clipse on 94oct
Cause - Catastrophic failure in Cyl #4, caught fire. Unknown reason.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Ralliart26 - '09 Ralliart 30k miles. Evo x turbo and boltons.
Cause - Overheat/shut off, rod bearings blew apart, turbo/head/block/crank destroyed. Likely cause was failed oil pump.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
EliteEvoX - '11 GSR 22k miles. Tsudo cat back, Injen intake Cobb AP. p0300. cylinder 2 gone bent valves
Cause - Cylinder #2 failure/bent valves due to missed shift
--------------------------------------------------------------------
SNAKES709 - '11 GSR 20k miles. Boltons + FP/Inj. 431/378
Cause - Spark plug broke, caused valve float and damaged piston. Engine died on the highway and will not start.
