need donor for treadstone turbo kit
 

Greetings,

My name is Omar and I am the Head of Engineering and Design at Treadstone Performance Engineering. I would first like to ask for your forgiveness for the previous post, the employee that perpetrated those acts has been reprimanded and you will not be hearing from him again. All communication will go thru me from now on. To answer some of the questions/comments posted earlier,

1. We will provide a signed agreement to all participating parties, making Treadstone Performance Engineering liable for any damages to the vehicle while it is in our care.

2. Treadstone Performance Engineering was incorporated in 2006 and has been in businesses for 10 years

3. Treadstone Performance Engineering DID NOT buy-out Turbonetics; however we did buy out the rights to several of their kits including the 350Z, Scion tC and Nissan SpecV among others. We have always maintained a very close relationship with Turbonetics and consider them a close ally in the performance field.

4. As for kit specifications a Borg Warner EFR 6758 internally wastegated, with a low mounting location. We chose a low mounting location for a stealth appearance, minimal piping to improve throttle response and to keep weight down and center of gravity as low as possible.

Again thank you for all of your comments and opinions if you have any further question or like more detailed information please feel free to call 888-789-4586 or email info@treadstoneperformance.com

Are you going to replace the engine when you blow it? Ive heard hear say that greddy and toyota have blown a few engines testing out FI.

Source?

I think he is trolling based on his name and commentary.

Who said I was a Guy?

Like I said it was hear say.. dont know if it was true or not. But please loan them your new car and see if they will take responsibility for the aftermath.
Legit question.

I think that was a legit question. That would be the very first thing I would ask.. I would also ask for that in a contract of some form.

Honestly, I think if you replace when (my bold above) with "if" its a legitimate question. Obviously this would not be covered under warranty and it is a possiblity. It is the same question I would ask if I was considering it.

Sources? I do not think it is fair to make said statement and then not provide any sort of evidence.

just make sure to sign and document everything if anything happens to your motor...

I think that was a valid question as well. This is a brand new engine with a 12.5:1 compression and a rather unique fuel system that seems to be handled in a way different than most fuel systems. There is EVERY chance that something could go wrong.

And to be brutally honest, the lack of capitalization, proper punctuation, and grammar in the OP does not instill the greatest confidence in me. It shows a lack of attention to detail. And when tuning an engine like this for FI, attention to detail is extremely important.

Hear say is hear say, you dont need evidence.

Maybe "when" was a bad choice of word but no one really knows how long the stock engine will last with a turbo.

Awesome, cant wait for someone to bring you a loaner!

I have not, and as first impressions go, I have to say that wasn't the best.

He drives an ms3 so he's probably used to a few blown engines.

Didn't you guys bought out Turbonetics?

I agree 100% with this.

I see what you did there.

Owned! Good luck finding a donor!

I'm not going to get into a pissing contest. If you feel that power modding is the only form of modding, I suspect we won't be conversing much in the future. Good luck with your endeavors.

Looks like you've never dug your own grave in your own thread by flaming potential customers with cheap shots at their cars.

Oh wait.

You sir are a complete goose, If I was your boss I would have fired you yesterday, you have managed to completely tarnish your company's reputation in less than 10 words across the biggest online FRS/BRZ/86 community.

Congratulations.

You could of dug yourself out about 3 posts ago instead you divulged deeper.

No body cares what you have done to STI's in the past, the FA20 is completely different behaving engine, and you say this is not the first car but you cant show us any results to spar some confidence? I would rather give my car to a bunch of monkeys than you. I feel sorry for the company/staff you are representing as they might actually have some skill.

Good luck get a loaner...

:popcorn:

Very odd how must hostility there has been with this vendor. I actually purchased several products from them for resale/installation at my old company and have not have one bad experience. Treadstone is a solid company to deal with and I HAVE put my money where my mouth is. /thread

calm down guys

no point in pushing aftermarket companies out of the community

That's funny, but let's give the guy a chance. More vendors is a good thing.

Edit, fook me, two post in the time it took to write mine.

When the first reply to his thread is:

"Are you going to replace the engine when you blow it? Ive heard hear say that greddy and toyota have blown a few engines testing out FI."

I can see how he might get a bit defensive.

Are completely unnecessary.

To be fair, one of our members instigated the bs with his unprovoked response.

We have an R&D thread going:

1) How long do you anticipate needing the vehicle?

2) What are you planning to use for engine management?

Me? Nope, not my style. I have been Nissan, Honda guy my entire life.

This community, seemingly immature.

Incorrect. This is, in fact, the internet and the OP's question was a legitimate one, albeit a little misworded. The manner in which this Treadstone fellow responded in turn to the OP and other members was unprofessional and lacked any kind of tact.

Our reputation isn't on the line here, so my picture was not unwarranted, his on the other hand is.

Hey OP, I hope you find a donor car and figure out a nice turbo kit for our cars. Please ignore the internet forum trolls. Please note their post count and join date. I know mine isn't much better here but these guys are definitely not representative of this community that I've been following for a while.

Would you not agree that your written response would have been a much more intellectually effective and tactful (your words) to communicate this?

Welcome to internet forums...

Don't judge based on this thread, sir.

Agree completely.

I'll reitterate: "Our reputation is not on the line...", "his is."

I enjoy using humor to convey a message, especially a picture of Donald Trump.

I'll take my leave here, as I have no business in this thread.

Link to MS3 with "blown engines"?

IMO the lack of information in the first post warranted such a question on the 2nd post. No information at all about about the type of turbo, EM, etc. etc.

It was pretty much "yo, I need a car to make a turbo...."

Thanks Omar. We should probably get a mod to delete this thread and let you start a new one with this post.

Dear Moderator,

Is it possible to alter this tread to that we(Treadstone Performance Engineering) may start with a clean slate

Omar
