Cautionary tale (not my car) boost can be a huge PITA too, its not all red roses.....
 

Let this be a fair warning to all people out there new to the boost game. When Shit wants to go wrong, it will go wrong and it will bite you in the ass hard....


I don't know if the owner is here. From the hashtags and comments, it seems this is a BRZ with custom pitons and rods. Apparently it got rod knock 4 days after install.

This is the car getting Dynoed after build (there's video on the link):

The owner is in the Tampa 86 group and I think soflo group too.

Plenty of built engines don't last nearly as long as you would think, that's why it's best to get a built block from a reputable shop.

Hey Sportsguy,
We're really more interested in your car.
Give Updates.

Your new sig looks pro.

looks like tr3performance (aka fa20club) did the work.

who knew?

Considering the engine builder, I doubt anyone is surprised except the owner of the car.

Haha my car is good... I should put a disclaimer in the title so people don't think its my car.

Which turbo kit?
Who did the install?
Who did the engine build?
Who did the tune?

MAN! How many cars is FA20club going to destroy?

Well, for now let's not assume anything. The only thing we know is he replied to the knock video saying TR3 installed it, but don't know anything else...


Being fair we don't know anything at all about how/when/where/why it happened.

The point of my post is that shit can still go wrong.

he also said it blew due to a "bad installation"

Ohh, thought it was a friend of yours.

Certainly working hard on that record! :mad0260:

@Sportsguy83 speaks the truth. We try to lay it all out for customers. Building a motors is a very detailed process, and things can definitely go wrong. Aftermarket anything is a very hard/expensive game to play.
