Driving home from hybrid performance i decided to lay into it hard on 275 just to make sure it was running good for trackday. Soon as i build boost and it starts pulling i hear i loud "pop".:o The car sounded like it was running on 2 cylinders. Pull over and while waiting to get towed home i pull the plugs to find it is something electrical. Seemed like the Distributor went bad(crank angle). Went and bought a $400 moroso distributor. Put it in and it sounds like something is frying:o . Checked everything and finally deciced to plug the stock ecu in. Go to start it and fires up. My $1400 AEM is fryed Just in time for trackday . Now i have to try and get them to send me one. Looks like my car will be off the road for a long time. My AEM wideband went bad and i returned it to racing zone over a month ago and i was told it will be another 3 weeks. I cant be without my ecu for months on end. Screwed out of another trackday . Maybe i'll sleeve the block. I dont know what else to do. Very upseting to buy expensive equipment and have it fail. Add insult to injury they are in no hurry to replace parts. When i buy from a store as large as racing zone you would think they would stand behind there stuff a little better.

 

that sux big time.

at least someone is going to fix it, last time i got a bad part i got screwed

good luck

 

Damn, sorry to hear that

That's some bad Juju. Same thing happened to me. A week before Track Day the electric/ignition gnomes decided to play underneath my hood. Had to launch with no tach either bogged it or peeled'em

Now would be perfect oppertunity to try a different combo; Nitrous, gut the car and build power all motor,etc.

Wish ya goodluck

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! So sorry to hear that Ron..........that blows BIG ones! So i guess you need to redo the AEM???????? Damn man, I'm just in shock. I feel your pain so much dude. Life sucks and so do cars . Keep your head up and do your best to put it all back together. If you need anything give me a ring 7276928702. Peace

The only new combo i'll do is turn the boost up another 12lbs and sleeve it. I just made an extra 25whp and 20 torque last week for trackday and this happens. I was trying to get kicked out for not having a cage I'll be back soon enough. Hopefully i can get AEM to send a new ecu next week.

 

Sorry about your luck Ron.fucking electronics,throw a carb on it.LOL

 

Luckily i have all the tuning saved on the laptop.

 

Racing has the worst customer service around. I paid for 3 day air shipping on a gasket that was told would ship in 1-2 days....yep...it arrived 4 weeks later.

I can get you a hondata system if you are interested.

 

damn man im sorry, but to make you feel better i ran like shit on slicks and drag radials.
