Well, everyone knows I was trading in the tC. I was going to sell the turbo kit, but then decided to just trade the car in with it (which is why I told everyone it was sold).

Well...on the way to the dealership....I don't know what happened...we were just cruising down the highway...70 - 75MPH..all of a sudden it kinda jumped and i turned down the radio it was making a weird noise...then it started smoking...

Pulled over...oil everywhere...We haven't pulled the engine yet, but I'm assuming there is a hole in the block somewhere...

So...I got a turbo kit for sale and...oh yeah..anyone know of a good place to buy a used motor?

 

"got boost?" you should change it to "got motor? cause i need one?" u probably run too much boost and raced too much..motor couldn't take it. soo much for 301whp. u might be good w/ 300

 

that doesn't sound good

 

Sorry to hear dude...

 

10PSI is perfectly fine on the motor, tune is fine. and we weren't hitting boost..at all...my cruise control was set...

 

ask your motor how perfectly fine the 10 psi tune was.

 

Well, I appreciate all the help guys, keep it coming...

 

Maybe you can find someone w/ a spare and trade the kit for it...

 

..... dezod kit again.....

 

dude man...so ur saying that u haven't floored it..ever since u put the turbo....the reason the motor blown is because maybe u revved to high...many other time....so it decided to blow up when u cruise around 70 dude.. think about it....if you run too hard, then ur gonna break down sooner or later...same w/ car man....the reason it blew is because u rev too hard...and i know u rev hard right?

 

lol, don't say that... Finally got everything in today!!!

 

x2... It's weird right?

 

No, it's not... lol...

 

Yeah 2 in this week alone.

 

Either people aren't getting tuned right... or i hate to say it... Something wrong with the kits?

 

Donno what the hell your exactly talking about...but ermm....yeah....

 

Ahh crap, you're killing me... Gonna have to pick up a spare engine... Think there's one locally for like $500... I hope they still have it...

 

I've made a few 2 - 3 hour trips with this kit where I was cruisng 70's and all, and brought it to the track ONCE...no problems...

 

That sucks mans. Is there a hole in the block or anything?

 

Sorry to hear about the prob man.

KITS don't blow motors. Tuners do. Simple as that. Too many tuners trying to cut corners and not do things the right way. I see it all the time.


The reason is simple why you are seeing all of the blown motors lately with our kits: We are the highest volume Scion tC turbo system manufacturer.


If you need a motor, try TAPP Recycling in CA.
