pics, videos???

 

the tune does not put a rod through the block....there was no sign of knock or any issues...the motor just went...go to the source and stop speculating

 

Wouldn't a faulty "tune" blow a motor if the A/F ratio somehow got screwy? Perhaps not enough "safety" written into a tune could blow a motor if by chance crap gas was run, a "boost spike" etc?

 

That's a very simplified way of saying it....if there was an issue, then there would be detonation, aka knock, which there wasn't...You can't just simplify something like that and blame the "tune"

You also need to understand that Jerome has had the same tune for over a year and has had his TN kit for >20k miles and has changed a lot since his last tune, including the JIC single exhaust, downpipes, etc...there are too many factors in this particular situation so you can't just go around saying his tune was bad

Jerome has gone back to the same shop with no hard feelings and is rebuilding

 

Relax, Im not blaming anything or anyone, just addressing the possibility. I had a FI car where the "Tune" was the blame because of the way it was written, it didn't allow much room for changes in ambient air temps, gas quality, a change in exhaust etc. It was written to make max power with virtually no "Safety Margin", i.e. running richer to prevent and compensate for the things I listed. No one here is pointing fingers and placing blame, its a discussion.

BTW, when his motor blew, (Sorry Jerome, hope it gets fixed really fast for ya), and Brian flew and caught up to the lead group, I went back with Brian to make sure everything was OK and to be of any help I could. No need to defend anything.

 

Sorry, didn't mean to single you out like that I just wanted to make sure things are crystal clear

 

Not a prob

He has a excuse now to make his G even nicer!!!!

 

the rumor is that he's stroking it

 

Wheres the videos and pics????

 

first off dude i said its a possibility...A POSSIBILITY...IT HAPPENS...do i know if it knocked or detonated? it CAN HAPPEN AND yes can be the tune. for his case maybe not i was simply asking, i wasnt there i didnt know...kthx..bye

 

AND Did i say the tune was bad? NOPE...there has been occurances when engine mgmts fail and the piggy back may not have done its job...so read next time and make sure things are CRYSTAL CLEAR..kthx

 

i got the clips they failed while batching because they were to big i am cutting them down and re uploading them,

also Jerom just got his turbo back and re installed 2 days before the run, as he upgraded it or something and said it seemed to be running fine, but i guess not =0/

we both know what you meant and we both know how you feel about the tuner...i don't want people getting a false impression of what happened and neither does Jerome, but you should know that already after what's happened before ...maybe if you tuned it, it wouldn't have blown kthnx

 

so, im just curious why youre so avidly sticking up for the tuner?

 

lmao both know how i feel about the tuner? ive had zero experience with your tuner and i am neutral with the situation so i could care less...i was wondering what happened to jeromes car out of no where, that is all. i think you should be the one to stop speculating, taking things out of context bud. so stop getting your panties in a bunch and think everyone is out to get you and your crew. ive known jerome for a quite some time and i think hes a great guy, i felt bad for his situation, and i was wondering hwo this could have happened. ill leave at that. kthx
