Maybe they tuned it as is and he thought 'this is puss' and wound up the boost.

[Guest]

[Johnnynz]

Everyone always blames the tuner : NZ EFI know what they are doing, Just tune it to 85% duty cycle and at that level a parallel rail isnt a must.

I'd hazard a guess that they tuned it, it didn't make as much power as the guy wanted because of the turbo (forgetting about the injector size) so he's driven it away and wound the boost up a few more pounds cause it was probably only doing ~15psi and he wanted to run 20psi cause the turbo should be able to make that much. Then bang.

I would say your 100% right.

I might be out of place here but im guna have a rant about nzefi anyway,

those muppets have no idea in the world what they are doing, i spent 30k+ building a EJ20 for my wrx with supporting mods with the help of my engine builder and jason leifting, to achieve a reliable 500hp

nzefi were givn the task of installing a link g3 and a run in tune, i thought they would no what they were doing being a link agent n all

Long story short nzefi were caught with the motor left running outside at idle before it had even had been run in, when it finnaly made it made it to the dyno they were dumping so much fuel into it it fouled a plug at 4th gear redline which myself and engine builder witnessed to which they quickly made excuses for, when i went to collect my car after cold start tune i was told it wouldnt start cos it had electrical problems ( no problems before they touched it)

, when they did manage to fix that i got it back with electric windows not working and no central locking, couldnt even drive the car proprly cos boost cut was set at the same as boost level so would cut out all the time and when this happened itd backfire in the heads/ headers which then caused damage to valves etc and also popped oil seals in turbo

there cold start tuning was so shit i went thru 7 sets of platnum plugs

i then decided to take my car to another tuner in chch and he was gob smacked at how shit there tuning was, car now makes atleast 3 times the power of what nzefi got out of it and runs 10000x better (im suprised it even still runs at all)

Have had a few friends tune at NZEFI, All with GREAT results, bearing in mind they all had the whole lot of mods that were ever going to be done, DONE and run in before they went there. which IMO makes a huge difference, no point in going there with 440cc injectors then going back for a re-tune on 800c injectors. TBH i wouldnt go many other places than NZEFI.

[Swindog]

Well its back on. With a new motor...

emailed him to find out what been done to it AND has the correct listing now.

Hahaha yeah, do it once, do it right. That's why I've waited so long to do mine, have had to do all the other stuff first!

[jstben]

So what sort of car would it be to buy now?

[Swindog]

I dare say its still tight to drive as it sat aorund for 6months.

Im waiting on an email back to see what his 4.5k got him for the rebuild and whether it was forged or just a standard replacement internal jobby.

I had a close up look at it the other day in a parking lot and still ultra tidy outside and in. I would suggest hes taken a guess at what the front K brace is it had a Mines one in it and Tein adjustables when I sold it unless hes changed them too.

I still have the spare set of rear teins for it sitting in my garage.
